Case Study: Ford achieves faster factory layout sign-offs with Virtalis VR solutions

Ford cuts on-site engineer visits by 30% with Virtalis

Ford Motor Company sought to reduce costly rework and delays in its factory facility designs. To achieve this, its Material Flow & Packaging Team turned to vendor Virtalis and its Visionary Render VR software to introduce virtual design reviews for early sign-off.

Using Virtalis's solution, Ford created virtual models of facilities to conduct ergonomic, line-of-sight, and equipment movement checks before any physical installation. The software also served as a single source of truth for various data formats and enabled collaboration among geographically dispersed teams. As a result, Virtalis helped Ford achieve a significant reduction in late rework and an estimated 30% reduction in on-site engineer visits.
