What is Digital Manufacturing Software?
Digital manufacturing software is a suite of solutions that digitizes the manufacturing process by helping plan, simulate, and optimize manufacturing processes. It connects engineering, production, and supply chain to deliver more efficient and resilient manufacturing operations.
Who Is Digital Manufacturing Software For?
- Manufacturing engineers, automation and robotics engineers, services engineers, and process planners: to design and validate production processes.
- Operations and plant managers: to improve throughput, reduce downtime, and standardize best practices across lines.
- Supply chain and production planning teams: to align demand and material flow, and plan for constraints.
- Quality and compliance teams: to embed quality checks into processes and support audits and regulatory compliance.
- IT and digital transformation teams: to integrate PLM, MES, and ERP systems.
- Executive and business leaders: for strategic decision-making, investment planning, and risk management.
Key Capabilities of Digital Manufacturing Software
Why Use Digital Manufacturing Software?
Common challenges without digital manufacturing software:
- Disconnected systems that create visibility gaps
- Difficulty predicting bottlenecks or resource conflicts
- Manual processes that increase the risk of errors
- Limited ability to simulate and validate scenarios before execution
- High cost and lead time to install and tweak a work cell
- Ways to build confidence through demonstrated throughput through simulations ahead of a build

“In order to ensure mistake-proofing in our manufacturing processes, we use DELMIA Augmented Experience to make sure that we inspect the quality of the product while we are producing it … it was actually a smooth sailing in terms of how it is introduced, how it is being used, and how we used it.”
Sivakumar Balasubramanian, VP, Manufacturing Engineering and Digital Operations
Spirit AeroSystems
“In the watchmaking profession, components are very complex and anything short of perfection is unacceptable. With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and DELMIA V6, production cycle time is shorter because the part is right the first time.”
