We invite industry professionals to experience the transformative capabilities of VR and Digital Twin technology at our booth at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2024. Visit us on Level 3 in the South Hall, Booth #339424, to connect with our experts, see live demonstrations, and discover how Shibaura Machine continues to lead innovation in the manufacturing industry.

Life-Size Digital Twins and VR Collaboration

Digital twins provide virtual replicas of physical devices for simulations to prevent issues, improve performance, and plan future enhancements. This significantly reduces system downtime and maintenance costs by allowing parallel execution of tasks. Real-time diagnostics and analysis provide actionable insights to enhance performance and reliability. 

VR enables detailed visualization of complex mechanisms, enhancing communication among team members and stakeholders. Engineers and stakeholders can thoroughly evaluate designs in VR before production, identifying potential issues and opportunities for improvement early in the development cycle. 

Rethinking Collaboration and Training

VR facilitates synchronized work sessions across different time zones and cultural contexts, enhancing global collaboration. Teams can view and interact with the same models in real-time, ensuring consistent communication and understanding. This global access enables problem-solving and sharing insights without the need for physical travel, making collaboration more effective and efficient. 

Additionally, VR provides a safe platform for training employees on potentially dangerous equipment without associated risks. This ensures products meet quality standards before actual manufacturing begins, identifying and resolving potential issues in advance.

Efficiency Gains and Shop Floor Optimization

Life-size digital twins and VR create accurate virtual models of the shop floor, including all machines and workstations, for precise planning and simulation of workflows. This immersive testing allows stakeholders to evaluate different layouts, leading to informed decisions and optimized setups. Real-time adjustments based on feedback reduce downtime and enhance scalability. 

VR also allows users to interact with digital twins as if they were real, improving understanding and engagement, leading to optimized manufacturing solutions. Virtual prototyping reduces material waste and accelerates time-to-market, lowering overall production costs.
