Manufacturing digital twins for reliable, high-performance operations

Model your production lines, assets, and energy flows as living digital twins—so you can prevent downtime, remove bottlenecks, and run more predictable manufacturing operations.

Manufacturing is under constant pressure

Manufacturing teams are expected to deliver higher output, better quality, and lower cost—often with aging equipment, volatile demand, rising energy prices, and fewer experienced operators on the floor.

What's creating pressure

  • Unplanned line stoppages that disrupt schedules and customer commitments

  • Bottlenecks that shift week to week and are hard to diagnose

  • Reactive maintenance driven by alarms instead of early signals

  • Energy costs that spike without clear visibility into root causes

  • Critical operational knowledge locked in a few experts—or lost entirely

The digital twin advantage

  • Prevent failures before they stop production

  • Identify true bottlenecks and test solutions safely

  • Move from reactive to predictive maintenance

  • Optimize energy use without compromising output

  • Capture and scale operational expertise

From firefighting to foresight

In manufacturing, an intelligent digital twin acts as a living model of how your plant actually behaves—not how it's supposed to behave on paper.

It continuously reflects:

  • The condition of machines and assets

  • How lines, buffers, and constraints interact
    How energy use changes with schedules and demand

  • How small issues propagate into missed targets

Instead of reacting after KPIs drop, teams can:

  • Detect emerging failures days or weeks earlier

  • Test line changes or maintenance timing virtually

  • Understand trade-offs between throughput, cost, and risk

  • Make decisions with confidence before touching the real floor

Manufacturing use cases powered by intelligent digital twins

Asset Health & Reliability

Asset Health & Reliability

See risk across fleets—not just single machines.

  • Compare similar assets across lines or plants

  • Understand how operating context affects lifespan

  • Move from time-based to condition-based strategies

Predictive Maintenance

Predictive Maintenance

Prevent failures before they stop production.

  • Detect early signs of wear and degradation

  • Prioritize maintenance based on risk and impact

  • Reduce emergency repairs and overtime

Production Optimization

Production Optimization

Increase throughput without new capex.

  • Identify true bottlenecks across lines and shifts

  • Simulate changeovers, schedules, and product mixes

  • Reduce variability and scrap

Used across the plant, Not just by specialists

Plant managers

  • Start each day with a live view of line health and constraints

  • See which issues threaten today's plan—and which don't

  • Evaluate trade-offs before changing schedules or priorities

Reliability & maintenance engineers

  • Track degradation trends across critical assets

  • Simulate maintenance timing to minimize production impact

  • Focus effort where risk and cost are highest

Continuous improvement & process engineers

  • Test improvement ideas virtually before rolling them out

  • Understand how local changes affect the full system

  • Validate gains with real operational data

What manufacturers typically target

While results vary by environment and starting point, manufacturing teams often aim for:

20–30%

Reduction in unplanned downtime

5–10%

Throughput uplift without major capex

10–20%

Reduction in maintenance cost

Lower

Energy intensity per unit

More stable schedules and fewer last-minute disruptions.
The biggest gains usually come from eliminating chronic issues—not chasing one-off optimizations.

Start with one line. Prove value. Scale plant-wide.

1

Start

Choose a critical line, bottleneck process, or high-failure asset.

2

Prove

Baseline current performance and validate early insights using live data.

3

Scale

Expand to additional lines, assets, or plants—reusing what works instead of starting over.
