Process bottlenecks and related issues often require complex and dynamic solutions. Discover how FlexSim recommends process improvements from live data, and see how the FlexSim OptQuest optimization engine solves multidimensional problems. OptQuest uses machine learning to evaluate multiparameter input groups in order to strategically determine optimal outcomes across various performance objectives. This method provides faster and more intelligent solutions to intricate problems than manual techniques do. In scenarios with constantly evolving operational inputs, FlexSim can be configured as a live Digital Prototyping, continuously operating at set intervals, and using live data streams based on system feedback and artificial intelligence (AI) predictions. This approach necessitates specific model programming, which we will explore. By implementing these advanced techniques, businesses can significantly improve their process optimization capabilities, addressing complex challenges more effectively than traditional methods allow.

Digital Prototypings, powered by real-time data, AI, and IoT, are poised to revolutionize product design and manufacturing workflows within the design-make-use lifecycle. By enabling data-driven, predictive processes, Digital Prototypings transform how products are conceived, iterated, and validated. What if IoT sensor data embedded in a product can detect stresses during its operation, which can be derived to automatically redesign a stronger and more efficient iteration? What if IoT sensor data embedded in a 3D printer can detect defects on a layer-by-layer basis to make real-time, in-situ adjustments to prevent manufacturing failures and scrap? Questions like these are not only being asked but explored and tested at Autodesk Research. Through a performance-aided design approach, we are harnessing sensor data to drive real-time optimizations, using a flying vehicle as a cutting-edge testbed to redefine the future of design and manufacturing.
