Keysight Technologies has introduced Keysight Assembly, a new virtual process simulation solution designed to help manufacturers detect assembly issues earlier in the product development cycle, reducing costly late-stage failures.
Assembly-related defects remain a significant challenge in industries such as automotive and industrial manufacturing, where issues often surface only during physical builds. These late discoveries can lead to production delays, expensive rework, and, in some cases, large-scale recalls and warranty claims.
Developed in collaboration with automotive OEMs, Keysight Assembly enables engineers to replicate real-world shop-floor processes, including part positioning, clamping, and joining, within a virtual environment. The platform features guided workflows and templates that eliminate the need for specialized finite element modeling (FEM) expertise, making advanced simulation more accessible across engineering teams.
The solution provides early visibility into distortion and dimensional variation, allowing teams to identify and address risks before physical prototyping begins. This reduces reliance on trial-and-error methods, shortens development timelines, and improves overall build accuracy.
Keysight Assembly integrates with the company’s existing stamping simulation software, enabling a continuous workflow from part forming through assembly. By connecting these traditionally separate stages, manufacturers can better correlate simulation results with real-world outcomes and detect variations earlier in the process.
According to Keysight, the new solution reflects growing industry demand for end-to-end virtual manufacturing tools that improve efficiency and reduce risk.
