The text discusses the importance of digital simulation models in modern factory design and reconfiguration, particularly in response to shorter product lifecycles and increased customization demands. Traditional design methods often lead to inefficiencies and high costs, making digital simulation essential for creating flexible and adaptable production systems. The article highlights a case study involving a furniture assembly factory, where a manufacturer needed to efficiently handle a variety of custom kitchen cabinet orders. The system integrator was tasked with designing a robotic assembly line that could maintain production efficiency despite the high variety of products.

A collaborative project between Nissan Technical Centre Europe, RBF Morph, and the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” showcases how multi-physics optimization is revolutionizing automotive wheel design, particularly for electric vehicles (EVs). By integrating styling, structural analysis, and aerodynamics within a unified workflow enabled by advanced mesh morphing technology (rbfCAE), designers can optimize wheels for lightweight, strength, and aerodynamic efficiency without compromising aesthetics.
