From factory simulation to shop-floor execution
Evaluate production scenarios before investment and monitor performance after launch with connected information.
What problems need solving?
Demand changes, schedules shift, quality information lives in disconnected systems, and new layouts are difficult to validate before implementation. A digital manufacturing roadmap should start with a measurable business problem rather than a tool list.
Choose capabilities by stage
Simulate before change
Use Tecnomatix to compare material flow, throughput, and production scenarios.
Execute on the shop floor
Use Opcenter for MES/MOM, work orders, quality, and operations data.
Connect product information
Link Teamcenter product and process data when integration is part of the scope.
How should you begin?
Choose one process, available data, and a metric such as throughput, cycle time, or defect rate. Then determine whether simulation, MES, or a staged combination addresses the constraint. ERP/PLM and equipment integrations require their own assessment.

Digital manufacturing consultation
Share your line layout, production volume, existing systems, and improvement goals. Top Solutions can discuss a suitable pilot.
Frequently asked questions
Should we start with simulation or MES?
Prioritize simulation for layout and capacity decisions; prioritize MES for execution and operations data. A phased combination may be suitable.
Must we replace our current ERP?
Not by default. Integration scope among ERP, PLM, and MES follows an assessment of your processes and data.
