Build to Operate provides the digital continuity needed to enable an agile production rate with quality goals. In addition, the platform provides the ability to utilize production and supply chain scheduling for “what if” scenarios and capacity planning to address market demand. It connects planning to the shop floor through a “virtual twin” to anticipate issues, and take proactive actions.

For aerospace and defense companies, Build to Operate offers manufacturing operations management (MOM) capabilities to monitor, control and validate all aspects of manufacturing with digital precision ranging from replicable processes and production sequences, to the flow of deliverables throughout their supply chain—on a global scale.

By receiving all required data through the Internet of Things (IoT), plant managers can view, control and execute automated manufacturing operations in real time.
