Simulation is an integral part of advanced manufacturing that medical OEMs are finding essential to accelerate time to market and strengthen their innovative edge. When a process or indeed the entire factory, is modeled, simulated, and analyzed, medical manufacturers can save time, maximize operations, and streamline project management. Join Flex and discover how simulation is offering game-changing improvements to the manufacture of medical products.    In this webinar you will learn how: ✅ Simulation can accelerate the manufacturing improvement processes. ✅ Simulation provides multiple opportunities to explore "what-if" scenarios in order to optimize processes and improve the timing, cost, and quality of your product. ✅ To leverage simulation to create a digital twin of a production line manufacturing a Class 2 diabetes product. ✅ Simulation and digital twin help de-risk and maintain production continuity. #webinar #MedTechwebinar #MedTech #Simulation #medicalmanufacturing #digitaltwin
