The Full Potential of Digital Transformation in Aerospace Factories – Smart Manufacturing in A&D Ep. 7

The production digital twin offers many ways for aerospace manufacturers to improve their manufacturing processes, from simulating plans before building them physically to optimizing them with real-time operational data. Yet it is just one component in a variety of strategies that leverage digital technology to transform production processes. How does the production digital twin relate to these strategies, and how can they benefit each other?
In this episode of Talking Aerospace Today, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of Aerospace, Defense, and Marine for Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined again by Sunil Chhabra from Portfolio Development in manufacturing engineering for Siemens. They dive deep into how the production digital twin relates to the product digital twin, and where the production digital twin can be taken in the future of aerospace manufacturing.
In this episode, you will learn:
- The relationship between the production digital twin and the product digital twin
- What developing technologies can enhance the production digital twin in the future
- How collaboration across the ecosystem can be improved through the combination of these technologies
- Why the production digital twin and digital transformation are the key to the future of aerospace manufacturing
