TECHNOLOGIES
We pioneer the commercial application of advanced technologies to drive industry change and explore new, exciting possibilities through machine, data and human interaction.

AI & MACHINE LEARNING - By using AI and machine learning algorithms, we harness the power of data to support more proactive, responsive, and reliable processes and enable a higher degree of reconfigurability.

VR & AR TECHNOLOGIES - We pioneer the commercial application of advanced technologies to drive industry change and explore new and exciting possibilities through machine, data, and human interaction.

CLOUD TECHNOLOGY - By employing cloud computing approaches, we enable the sharing and mining of a range of design and manufacturing data sources, to allow process optimisation and increase responsiveness.

SIMULATION - We use simulations to validate the designed processes and systems and to generate controller programmes. This accelerates the development and commissioning of any production system.​​

MEASUREMENTS & INSPECTION - Measurement of equipment, parts and processes enable us to maintain an accurate representation of the digital twin, perform off-line programming of automation, capture product and process quality data, and manage on-the-fly process updates.

ROBOTICS & AUTOMATION - Industrial automation and robotics enable us to quickly develop repeatable and consistent processes and to accurately and flexibly manipulate and position components. This increases process quality and reduces production costs.​

INTERNET OF THINGS - Using Internet of Things and Edge Computing technologies allow us to filter and process shop-floor data as close to the source as possible. This improves response times and reduces the load on our network and central servers.
CONNECTED INFRASTRUCTURE


SIEMENS SOFTWARE SUITE
Siemens provides hardware and software that enables Omnifactory to have one of the most advanced digitally connected infrastructures in a production environment.
​
This connected infrastructure serves as a transformative enabler, seamlessly integrating product requirements into the entire developmental life cycle while establishing a direct link to the manufacturing system.
​
By synchronising product design with the build of materials and processes, Omnifactory’s framework enables the formulation of comprehensive models and simulations of the manufacturing workflow. This capability not only ensures precision in planning but also supports dynamic adaptability, accommodating late-stage design modifications with remarkable efficiency.
​
Such modifications automatically generate updates across a spectrum of critical facets, including bills of processes and materials, models and simulations, robotic coding, workplace instructions and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) which orchestrates the operations. This coherent integration prevents the need of repeating tasks from the initial stages, thereby significantly improving operational efficiency and adaptability within the developmental framework.
​
The digital infrastructure creates a virtual manufacturing environment, known as an advanced digital twin, of the entire production process, which eliminates waste, costs of building physical systems, and optimises the processes.
​
By virtually manufacturing and commissioning you don’t need to create prototypes anymore. Completing this activity in the software means that it’s right first time. The first time you actually build the system, you know it’s going to do exactly what it was supposed to do, because you’ve proved that in the software.
