Learn how the design and sale of production lines can be accelerated using 3D simulation. Thanks to 3D simulation software, many companies reduce the time they spend on their commercial proposals and customer implementations. The result: time saved and more proposals sent.
3D simulation: towards more dynamic factory layouts
Selling a production line for a manufacturer is never a simple process. However, some in the production layout simulation industry say now is the time, if ever, to shed the idea of slow, inflexible processes and start taking advantage of more advanced layout planning solutions. dynamics available .
Businesses of all sizes can benefit from 3D layout simulation
Designing the production layout was a game of only a few players. “How production lines were designed in the past was a mystery to many,” says Juha Renfors, CEO of Visual Components.
We do not believe that precise and detailed simulations of production implementation should be the privilege of large companies who can afford to pay a high price. Good simulation can be accessible and easy to use, regardless of company size or simulation expertise.
While in the past, production layout design was in the hands of layout planning specialists, Visual Components created its solution for the general public. “Anyone can use our products,” says Renfors.
3D simulation: industrial companies have a lot to gain in their sales processes
How JOT Automation divides its encryption time by 7
While 3D simulation is now available for small businesses, some expert companies like JOT Automation are replacing their 3D CAD software with Visual Components 3D simulation software .
“At JOT Automation, they find that, for example, in their proposal processes, their ideas can be presented better and any communication problems can easily be avoided thanks to our solutions. Especially in an international business context,” explains Juha Renfors.
JOT Automation was able to significantly speed up its costing process : the time spent on a proposal is now on average seven times shorter than before .
How Fastems went from 50 to more than 200 commercial proposals per year
Another company that has clearly seen the benefits of 3D simulation for production layout planning in its sales process is Fastems, an independent robot integrator with over 20 years of experience.
“With Visual Components, we went from 50 proposals per year to 200/250 proposals per year . With our CAD software this simply would not have been possible. » Says Mika Laitinen, Head of Robotics Sales at Fastems.
With results like these, traditional 3D CAD companies should be concerned. Although, for example, Fastems still uses 3D CAD software to produce the final manufacturing plan, many critical phases, such as accessibility and collision studies, are carried out with Visual Components.
3D simulation is essential in today's business if you want to stay competitive. We could never go back to the old processes.
The manufacturing industry begins its transformation
It seems clear that the mindset in the manufacturing industry is slowly changing. For Visual Components, the objective is clear: to make simulation the standard for production design .
“Companies like JOT Automation and Fastems are constantly finding new ways to use 3D simulation in their business,” says Renfors.
The goal is above all to provide impressive savings on the time our clients spend on proposal processes through a quick and easy tool.
Through this, VISUAL COMPONENTS has been able to create valuable partnerships with larger and smaller companies and establish a strong foothold in a previously CAD-focused industry.
It goes without saying that the manufacturing industry is evolving – companies that can keep up with change are those most likely to succeed.
And you, are you ready for change?
