#  The SOLIDWORKS Advantage for Manufacturing

Manufacturers face increasing pressure to deliver more complex products, faster, and at lower costs - meanwhile raw material costs are rising, machinery & equipment are expensive and hiring skilled operators is more and more difficult. The good news is, you have a head start in solving these challenges.

Watch now to learn how to leverage your SOLIDWORKS data to deliver a complete, seamless, design through a manufacturing solution that goes far beyond CAD into these critical areas:

- **ERP & MES** - Gain visibility from engineering to execution with integrated planning, scheduling, and shop floor data management
- **Advanced Machine Programming** - Program milling, turning, and multi-axis operations with knowledge-based machining
- **Robotic Programming** - Program, simulate, and optimize robotic work cells in a virtual environment
- **Manufacturing Virtual Twin** - Design and validate plant layouts, workflows, and throughput before physical investment
