Description
Discover how IMI Critical Engineering, a greenfield manufacturing facility, overcame the limitations of traditional 2D CAD models by moving to 3D simulation modeling. Relying on 2D layouts led to inefficiencies, high error rates, and communication barriers between engineering, operations, and leadership teams. This session will explore how IMI used FlexSim software’s advanced features—such as process flow, SQL queries, and video recording—to achieve significant improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. By visualizing the production process in a dynamic 3D environment, the team identified bottlenecks, iterated designs more effectively, and minimized costly errors before implementation. Read real-life case studies to learn how this reduced errors, optimized workflows, and streamlined decision making, ultimately leading to higher productivity, better resource use, and sustainable growth for IMI.
