Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced Keysight Assembly, a new virtual process simulation solution designed to help manufacturers identify assembly issues earlier in development, before they become costly production problems. Late-stage assembly failures are an expensive problem in automotive and industrial manufacturing. Recalls and warranty claims cost major U.S. automakers billions, with many defects not surfacing until the physical build stage. The later an issue is found, the more costly it is to fix, often delaying product launches and driving significant rework.
Developed in collaboration with automotive OEM partners, Keysight Assembly enables engineers to replicate shop-floor processes, including part positioning, clamping, and joining, through guided workflows and templates that require no specialized finite element modeling skills. Teams gain visibility into distortion and dimensional risks much earlier than physical prototyping, reducing reliance on trial-and-error approaches, shortening production timelines, and improving build accuracy. Keysight Assembly integrates with the company's existing stamping simulation software, allowing engineers to carry stamped-part data from forming through assembly and validate outcomes against pre-production scan data.
This connects separate stages of manufacturing development into a single workflow, helping teams detect variation earlier and improve correlation between simulation and physical results.
