The bar is high for OEMs as they endeavor to meet the ever-growing demand and market pressures. As engineering design sets the stage for manufacturing and service, it is critical for engineering teams to recognize the interactions of people with their proposed products and processes to assure ease of production and assembly.
With Virtual Reality, engineering teams can experience, validate, and communicate on assembly & maintenance requirements taking into consideration the human-centric process interactions. Ultimately, enabling experience-based evaluations of proposed designs in their complete context allows for a significant reduction of future assembly risk, increasing efficiency toward production ramp-up that meets key product targets.
Webinar - Product Integration, Assembly Process, and Serviceability Validations
The digitalization of product design and engineering is well accepted and practiced in most engineering organizations—especially for those design attributes which have quantifiable standards and limits. Although when it comes to ergonomics and the impact of human factors until people can walk around, climb on, sit in, and take assemble-disassemble-reassemble the actual product, we often don’t know what to assess and what is acceptable or not.
Watch an exclusive on-demand webinar where we will address how to operate, assemble, or service a first-of-its-kind product or implement new methods. We often can’t know what it is that we don’t know about that product— operators will face these challenges when interacting with products they have yet to experience. For this reason, assembly process planning has long relied on pre-production prototyping and assembly piloting to allow workers to experience and evaluate proposed assembly processes and tooling. Similarly, service and maintenance planning are most often based on previous products history or require service teardown workshops conducted on the pre-production prototypes.

Event: Mercedes-Benz Digital Product Forum
Date: July 20 to 21, 2022
Next July, ESI will take part in the Mercedes-Benz Digital Product Forum, a key meeting for the EDM and CAE community of Mercedes-Benz and its partners.
This year, the ESI team will demonstrate the benefits of Human Centric Assembly and Product Validation using IC.IDO, its an interactive and collaborative Virtual Reality Solution. In this immersive Virtual Reality, you will be able to walk around your product in a true-to-life environment at a 1:1 scale, look at it, reach for needed tools, and interact with your new product concepts as you, or your customers, would in real life.
Reach out to us to schedule a dedicated meeting and demo.
