He looks at how virtual twin technology is helping manufacturers validate changes before they hit the shop floor, turning complex adjustments into far more manageable events. There is a detailed look at: what measurable business benefits manufacturers are seeing, from fewer engineering change orders to lower prototype spend; why manufacturing change becomes so costly\u00a0when issues are found too late in the process; and how virtual twins help teams test and validate changes earlier\u00a0to improve speed and first-time quality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy performance does not come from individual initiatives. It comes from operations that were designed with energy in mind at every level. The manufacturers who come through this strongest will be the ones who used digital tools not just to cut costs, but to redesign how they operate\u2014treating the virtual twin not as a project deliverable, but as operational infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we all know, in the fast-paced world of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.3ds.com\/products\/delmia\/high-tech\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>High-Tech<\/strong><\/a><strong>,<\/strong>\u00a0change is the only constant. Whether it\u2019s a sudden shift in market demand, a new regulatory requirement or an engineering change order (ECO), manufacturing engineers are under immense pressure to quickly adapt. But for many, change is synonymous with risk, delays and skyrocketing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if complexity was no longer a barrier? What if every change you made was, in fact, a &#8216;non-event?&#8217;\u201d&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The high-tech paradox: innovation vs. eExecution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High-Tech companies face a unique set of challenges. Products are becoming increasingly complex, blending mechanical, electrical, and software components. At the same time, the industry is grappling with skilled labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and the constant need to protect intellectual property (IP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional manufacturing planning\u2014relying on spreadsheets and physical prototypes\u2014is struggling to keep up. Research by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tech-clarity.com\/engineering-time-wasters-survey-results\/11285\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tech Clarity<\/a> shows that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>25% of manufacturing engineering time\u00a0is wasted on non-value-added activities like rekeying or searching for data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cost of physical prototypes\u00a0and late-stage engineering changes can cripple product profitability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discovering a manufacturability issue during the production phase is\u00a0<strong>exponentially more expensive<\/strong>\u00a0than finding it in a virtual environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-8.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"739\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-8.png 940w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-8-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-8-768x604.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Efficiency (62%), First-time quality (53%), and Manufacturing cost (51%), Tech Clarity<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Enter the virtual twin: the &#8216;non-event<\/strong>&#8216;<strong> enabler<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Virtual Twin is not just a 3D model; it is a dynamic, science-based representation of the product, processes, resources and operating context across the manufacturing lifecycle, integrating the knowledge and know-how needed to create and run it in the real world. By connecting the virtual and real worlds, DELMIA allows engineers to validate manufacturability before a single piece of equipment is commissioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is how the Virtual Twin transforms change into a non-event:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Shifting left: finding issuessooner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Top performers in the industry are\u00a0<strong>65% more likely<\/strong>\u00a0to identify physical issues during the design phase. By &#8216;shifting left&#8217;, they use 3D simulation to validate assembly processes, line balancing, and ergonomics early in the cycle. When a change is needed, it is tested virtually, ensuring that it works &#8216;first time right&#8217; when it hits the shop floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Eliminating the prototype bottleneck<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies leveraging virtual simulation technologies can eliminate approximately\u00a0one-third of their physical prototypes. This not only saves significant costs but also reduces time-to-market by\u00a037%. Changes that once required weeks of physical testing can now be validated in a virtual afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quantify the potential<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-9.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-9.png 602w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-9-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-9-110x75.png 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Strengthening the digital thread<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest risks in high-tech is the loss of know-how and intellectual property, especially when working with contract manufacturers. A Virtual Twin creates a secure digital thread that connects all stakeholders from design through production on a shared platform.\u00a0Top performers are 29% more likely to collaborate with contract manufacturers<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>in this way, enabling a single source of truth with controlled access, full traceability and stronger protection of critical IP across the value chain. The Results: Efficiency, Quality, and Sustainability<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The business value of this transformation is measurable. By adopting Virtual Twin solutions, manufacturers are seeing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>36% reduction\u00a0in Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>50% less spend\u00a0on physical prototypes compared to their peers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved\u00a0sustainability and regulatory complianc<strong>e<\/strong>\u00a0through predictive analytics and simulation of production scenarios.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Adrian-Wood-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Adrian-Wood-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Adrian-Wood-3.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Adrian-Wood-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Adrian-Wood-3-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Adrian Wood, Director of Strategic Business Development, DELMIA<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is your organisation ready?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the High-Tech industry, top performers are already using Virtual Twins to tame complexity and turn market volatility into a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not let your next change be a crisis.\u00a0Solutions such as<a href=\"https:\/\/events.3ds.com\/delmia-optimize-manufacturing-processes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <strong>DELMIA\u2019s Virtual Twin<\/strong><\/a>, can help to validate every move, upskill your workforce with immersive environments, and ensure that your next engineering change is exactly what it should be:\u00a0a non-event<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, is your manufacturing process agile enough to make your next big change a non-event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adrian Wood, Director of Strategic Business Development for<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3ds.com\/products\/delmia\"><strong>DELMIA<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover how to leverage virtual builds for significant business value by accessing the full report\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/discover.3ds.com\/digitalizing-manufacturing-engineering-high-tech-industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Digitalizing Manufacturing Engineering in the High Tech Industry<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adrian Wood\u00a0explores how high-tech manufacturers can reduce the disruption, cost and risk typically associated with engineering and production changes.
