Auto Supplier Boosts Throughput 18% with Digital Twin Simulation
Building digital twins of production lines on Azure Digital Twins to simulate bottlenecks, layout changes, and scheduling scenarios before committing capital.
Project Overview
The Challenge
Production changes required physical trials with significant downtime and risk, slowing the ability to respond to customer demand shifts.
- 1Layout changes and scheduling shifts required physical trials with downtime
- 2Bottleneck identification took weeks of physical observation
- 3Limited ability to evaluate capital investment options pre-commitment
Our Solution
CloudGate built digital twins of three production lines on Azure Digital Twins, syncing live with sensor data and enabling what-if simulation.
- Production line digital twins synced with real-time sensor data
- What-if simulation for layout, scheduling, and product mix decisions
- Bottleneck visualization and capacity planning dashboards
The Results
- Avoided $8M in misallocated capital by simulating before building
