Virtual Factory Management
Virtual factory management refers to the use of digital tools and models in the planning, monitoring, and optimisation of production facilities. It enables the creation of virtual twins of existing or planned factories, making it possible to simulate processes, plan layouts, and optimise production lines before physical implementation. This reduces costs, shortens deployment times, and improves manufacturing flexibility.
Virtual factory management makes use of technologies such as IoT, AI and VR, providing real-time data and interactive visualisations to support decision-making.
