[Customer Case] Productivity Improvement: Quadrupling Throughput with Digital Twin

Overcoming the complex manufacturing processes of a large number of components. The overwhelming production efficiency achieved by digital shadow. Presentation of explanatory materials.

A successful example of digital shadow and digital twin is Lockheed Martin's improvement in the productivity of the F-35 fighter jet. This case demonstrates the powerful effects of digitization in complex manufacturing processes. The manufacturing of fighter jets is very complex due to the large number of parts and numerous jigs involved. Lockheed Martin has created an environment in this manufacturing process where the location information of all parts is visualized and can be reliably supplied to the manufacturing process. As a result, the monthly production volume increased from 2 units to 8 units, achieving a fourfold increase in throughput. This case serves as a concrete proof of how the construction of a digital shadow can lead to dramatic performance improvements. *Check out the details of the F-35 case by PTC, chosen by the world's top runners for digital transformation strategies.*
