AMS Autumn 2022 – Turning virtual into a reality

MicrosoftTeams-image (1)

The latest AMS digital edition details how digital tools are playing an increasingly important role in planning and improving production processes, featuring in-depth features on BMW, Audi, Skoda, Ford and more.

In this issue we look at how BMW is using 3D scanning technology to create a digital twin of the processes and facilities of its entire production network. This will support virtual simulations of plant upgrades for new models and the planning of new production plants. Audi has also been developing digital tools that are enhancing its production operations through the use of virtual reality, AI and software prototype builds, that are supporting modular assembly, quality control and energy conservation. The use of 5G communications as a low-latency solution to drive factory digital twins and automate intra-plant logistics is being trialled by Skoda and we find out how this progressing and how it is connecting manufacturing teams across a global network. We also look at how scientists at Washington University have developed a computational framework that allows adaptive changes to the way robots use passive, 3D printed grippers.
