PRODUCTIVE PROCESS SIMULATION – DIGITAL FACTORY

Cortina Design Engineering®, in conjunction with Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores Monterrey (ITESM), and in collaboration with several Campuses such as Mexico City, Mexico State, Cuernavaca, Toluca and Monterrey, has generated an initiative that involves students, professors, researchers and enterprises with the objective of developing teams able to satisfy the current demand of the industry for productive process simulation and digital factory.

Current trends of digitalization, communication and simulation, not just for products but also for productive process, have generated the 4th industrial revolution known as Industry 4.0.
