OEM Revolutionizes Factory Planning with Scan-First Digital Twin
A US-based Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has revolutionized its factory planning with a first watch digital twin automotive workflow. This innovative approach, powered by Cintoo's cloud-based platform, has already transformed over 40 million square feet of manufacturing space worldwide.
The process begins with high-resolution 3D scans of physical environments, providing a precise foundation for visual, measurable comparisons against design models. This contrasts with traditional first approaches that can be slow and may not accurately reflect real-world conditions.
The OEM uses first data to reduce field orders and checks in brownfield environments and to simulate integration of new automation lines before physical deployment. This not only speeds up the process but also enhances safety by reducing the need for people to enter active job sites. Cintoo's platform serves as a central hub for compliance, audit preparation, and sustainability tracking.
Manufacturers using Cintoo report significant benefits. These include up to 50% reduction in rework, faster turnaround on factory updates, and substantial cost-savings due to reduced travel and physical trial setups. Scan-to-BIM alignment helps teams identify clashes, verify installations, and make real-time decisions, without waiting on redlines or physical site visits.
The OEM's digital transformation has created a visual, cloud-based digital twin of its facilities, enabling global collaboration. This first watch digital twin automotive workflow has proven to be a game-changer, offering improved safety, reduced costs, and enhanced efficiency in manufacturing processes.
