To accelerate time-to-market through process efficiency, minimize material waste, and optimize costs while increasing production flexibility, seamless alignment between design engineering and shop floor execution is essential. Various solutions can facilitate this, such as equipping production facilities with sensors or integrating measurement technologies that relay production challenges back to CAD and simulation software. However, these approaches often involve high implementation effort and complexity, yet still fail to bridge the gaps in collaborative and iterative processes. Indeed, many companies continue to rely on Excel sheets to manage these information-intensive workflows.

With twino we have developed a smart and easy to implement solution that can fully align design engineering and shopfloor operations. twino integrates setup, inspection, measurement, and documentation functions to streamline the entire workflow. Unlike tools that address only isolated tasks, twino stands out as the only solution that seamlessly unifies these capabilities into a single, efficient system. By using twino, companies gain enhanced traceability, providing complete visibility into activities with suppliers and molders – eliminating the need to attend every trial in person. This level of traceability is invaluable for troubleshooting, as it delivers clear insights into any deviations from the original plan, enabling faster and more effective resolution. Operators can access the twino app on a mobile device, while design engineers use the synchronized desktop version to retrieve and leverage shop floor data within their Autodesk Moldflow-Software.
