The future of industry and design , therefore , is directly linked to the virtual experience .
By creating a virtual twin of their production lines , Brazilian manufacturers can optimize the workflow , improve the manufacturing process and identify potential bottlenecks that may eventually occur during production , even before starting to produce a product . From a technical point of view , another benefit is that the 3D model is capable of reproducing all the characteristics and parameters of the real world , which means being able to evaluate and measure all stages of the useful life of materials , thus improving production , classification , recycling and elements reuse – something fundamental in today ’ s world .
As a result , the three-dimensional collaboration and experience platforms should be seen as the critical differentiator that can help Brazilian industry to translate its sustainability efforts into tangible , measurable and effective results , generating value for the country .
This technology can also reduce the flow of electronic waste and provide more sustainable products . For this challenge , manufacturers can count on an integrated platform to create and explore a virtual twin almost identical to the physical world . A platform that integrates the entire product life cycle will help manufacturers adhere to regulatory compliance , allowing smart material choices , increasing collaboration , traceability of materials and gaining scalability to increase performance .
It is worth mentioning that , through virtual simulation technology , Brazil will be able to design devices to improve several aspects of its products and services life cycles . They are able to quickly assess and increase the durability and reuse characteristics of materials , executing their virtual twin within a wide range of configurations that create assembly and disassembly processes , resistance tests and the possibility of using new raw materials , among others .
Digital platforms also enable greater manageability , allowing manufacturers to access product information , including making comparisons on the decomposition of components and the best use of substances . Manufacturers can compare data and quickly adjust new products to standards in different countries around the world .
The future of industry and design , therefore , is directly linked to the virtual experience . Fully modeling value chains , virtual twins and simulation in three dimensions can improve the sustainability of the planet , managing the entire life cycle of products and services – from project design to reuse – and minimizing the use of material during the manufacturing process in different industry segments .
Reaching a higher level of sustainability will require a new capacity of interaction between companies and their entire production ecosystem . It will also require more transparency and predictability to anticipate the development of the products , from the conception of the projects to the reverse logistics after the useful life of the parts . Certainly , this is a journey that will require disruptive innovations , such as simulation in three dimensions and the use of cutting-edge technology . Therefore , Brazil will have all the conditions to return to compete with prominence in the global scenario . p
