Company Optimizes Manufacturing Process of Automotive Rivet Using Simulation Software

摘要

Omni-Lite is a rapidly growing high technology company that develops and manufactures precision components utilized by several Fortune 500 companies including Boeing, Airbus, Alcoa, Ford, Caterpillar, Borg Warner, Chrysler, the U.S. Military, Nike and adidas. The company expects additional revenue streams once commercial quantities of the new products developed in the Anti-Lock Brake and the Electric Vehicle programs begin shipping. Successful product reviews conducted with several major customers during Q1 of 2011 have lead to requests for nine new programs that would need engineering and prototype development completed in 2011. To aid in this aggressive development process, the engineering team has begun using the sophisticated finite element forging simulation software package Simufact.forming, from Simufact-Americas LLC.
