Rolling Out a Better Process - Digital Twin Slashes Waste 15% and Runtime Hours to Seconds

Patrone and Mongiello wanted a solution to monitor and control its sheet metal forming process so that it could improve product quality and reduce production waste. The company selected Altair’s digital twin solution to achieve its goal and turned to Advanced Engineering (AE) Solutions, an Altair partner, to implement it. Altair’s digital twin solution gave Patrone and Mongiello the means to monitor quality and make corrections during all stages of its sheet metal forming process with respect to varying sheet metal material properties and equipment operating conditions. The digital twin solution, which leveraged Altair Inspire Form, Altair HyperStudy, Altair Activate, Altair romAI and Altair Panopticon, reduced production waste by more than 15%, reduced simulation time from hours to seconds, and enabled the company to monitor its forming process in a real-time environment.
