Medical Device Digital Thread

Medical device manufacturing

Enhance the readiness, efficiency and quality of your production facilities by digitalizing your manufacturing processes. Efficiently produce high-quality, fully compliant products through an integrated digital system.

Boost production in medical device manufacturing

Easily adapt production capacity while maintaining compliance and quality through digitalized processes and integrated solutions. Utilize a production digital twin for simulation; implement automatic planning and scheduling to optimize the efficiency of agile and flexible production plans; and enforce processes and tracking production data automatically to maintain quality standards and regulatory compliance.

Master today's medical device manufacturing challenges

Digitalize your manufacturing process, plan new production lines better and anticipate rapid changes. Simulate plant operations with a production digital twin for data capture and closed-loop analysis to improve capacity and maintain compliance.

Responding to production changes 50 percent faster by streamlining production processes and scheduling

Company:Novak M

Industry:Medical devices & pharmaceuticals

Location:Komenda, Slovenia

Siemens Software:Opcenter APS

Production scheduling with Opcenter is resilient to market changes, unexpected events in production and production planner absence. Using Opcenter Scheduling, the planner can quickly adjust the production plan when there is a change in a customer’s order, a worker’s availability or a lack of materials.
