Operational Impact
aPriori’s digital factories are flexible, fast, and can be customized to reflect the capabilities of different suppliers in different regions. They allow for rapid design and sourcing iterations, with automated cost and manufacturability insights available almost immediately. | |
Non-manufacturable or costly designs can be identified quickly, when engineers still have time to model design alternatives (and before waiting weeks for an RFQ response, only to discover a manufacturability issue). | |
By bringing detailed cost and manufacturability intelligence as early as possible into the design process, digital manufacturing simulation also allows Arrival to eliminate wasteful feasibility loops and design churn with suppliers. | |
Quantitative Benefit
aPriori’s digital manufacturing simulation software can provide detailed manufacturing cost models in minutes, rather than weeks using traditional tools like spreadsheets. | |
