Aerospace and Defense Ready for Rate Deliver aerospace programs on-time, on-target and to specification Ready for Rate accelerates manufacturing ramp-up and improves quality by enabling engineering and manufacturing planning stakeholders to connect the dots and have real-time access to accurate product and product build information. Ready for Rate enables flexible production while delivering products with first-time quality, on budget, and on schedule. Aerospace manufacturers can take advantage of the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform to implement lean practices that remove waste in critical areas of manufacturing. Planners can define and validate manufacturing processes down to individual work instructions virtually to eliminate potential issues and waste before they occur. The R2021x release for Ready for Rate provides new capabilities for robotic optimizations, factory flow simulation with AGVs and additional translators for robot off-line programming. Scheduling had also been improved with new roles and capabilities in both the Master Production Schedule and Sales & Operations Planning processes.
