The automotive industry is always under a lot of pressure and competition. Virtual Manufacturing helps companies within automotive and their subcontractors to improve efficiency, rationalization and ergonomics.

As a supplier of production- and logistics development services, Virtual Manufacturing help automotive companies with everything from large tranformation projects to having consultants at site within production,  logistics and robotics. We help our customers realize their improvement potential by delivering complete ergonomic workstations and logistics solutions. 

Virtual Manufacturing always strives towards avoiding surprises and verify as much as possible in a virtual environment before entering the actual production. In our gate-driven process we use 3D scanning as a tool to map the current state and to create a 3D layout that can give us a Digital Twin. 

Our business area Virtual Labs is used to test and evaluate new technologies to always stay up-to date with the lastest news on the market. Our areas of focus at the moment are: Industry 4.0, IoT, Tracking technology, Sensor Technology, Collaborative Robots, Grippers, AGVs, AGCs, AR/VR Technologies and Digital Twins.
