Digital Factory as part of the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) philosophy consists of different sub-areas of production. Each production process in the engineering company is formed by factors such as planning, design, simulation, tooling, machinery and equipment, installation and robotics, manufacturing cells, quality, production, suppliers, technical support. Every product manufactured goes through those phases of closed cycle and using PLM tools to manage and optimize all processes. Digital Factory effort is to analyze, mapping and digitized this platform to produce a realistic picture of the production. With this "digital copy" of production it can be further optimize and innovate the process of real production without having a need to implement the proposals even before it has been found its reality, sensuality and economic efficiency. One of the issues that the digital factory is involved, is the power consumption in the production.
