The continuous process generator uses Shop floor operators can leverage the geometric selection to automatically define Teamcenter Electronic Work Instructions paths and features and has been enhanced (EWI) solution to access test scenarios in Tecnomatix 12 to include dashed curve directly on the shop floor at the production feature creation for support of processes facility. such as skip or stitch arc welding. The soft- ware automatically defines curves based on the geometry (edges) and the use of multi- ple attribute methods controlled by the user, which are then used to produce robotic paths and operations for welding.

Process Simulate is used in conjunction with Test Manager to execute digital preassembly validation tests. TECNOMATIX

The integration of Teamcenter using fluid objects are supported by a fluid and materials manufacturing and MES software, such as SIMATIC IT, for definition table, full statistical evaluations, Gantt charts and model-based production execution closes the loop between reports, just as in any other Plant Simulation model. the virtual and real worlds of production. In this release, product and manufacturing information (PMI) embedded in the JT™ data format 3D CAD models flows down to the shop floor MES software by linking design intent directly to pro- duction operations in Teamcenter to ensure conformance and provide faster root-cause analysis.

The new fluid object library in Plant Simulation allows for easier continuous processes modeling.

The Plant Simulation HTML report generator is easier than ever to use and takes advantage of standard HTML code, drag-and-drop capability and predefined analysis object reports. Dynamic reports can be generated and modified while a simulation is running and can be exported to a sin- gle file for convenient distribution and sharing. Design intent delivered with inspection operations from Teamcenter is accessed on the shop floor in SIMATIC IT where operators collect and record measurement data. TECNOMATIX

Big data solution for dimensional quality There is a continued focus in Tecnomatix 12 on the big data solution for dimensional quality that provides smart analyt- ics to identify and visualize trends within measured data that is collected from connected measurement devices. Large amounts of under-utilized data often exist in the pro- duction environment with the potential for improving quality. The big data solution for dimensional quality effi- ciently loads and understands the application of this data, and uses smart analytic tools for reporting and identification of trends and visualization of the results in a graphical man- ner that is unique to this solution. This robust and automated way of visualizing and analyzing dimensional quality data helps you react to quality issues and correct and prevent them before they occur.

Tecnomatix 12 provides robust dimensional quality data visualization and analysis.
