Digital transformation is revolutionizing the consumer goods sector, driving innovation and optimizing product and process development. This initiative focuses on democratizing Simulation and Data Management for a global leader in the food and snack industry by leveraging commercial SPDM software technology. As part of a broader "Digital First" strategy, the project involves developing a Digital Developer Portal (DDP) to streamline R&D processes. The DDP provides easy access to advanced digital tools, allowing product developers to use digital simulations for formulation, processing, and packaging decisions. This toolset consolidates simulation data, models, and workflows, enabling cross-functional teams to make data-driven decisions efficiently.

Key features of the DDP include:

The system offers significant benefits such as Simulation Lead Design, ensuring developers use digital tools from the start, and uniting global teams through a collaborative platform. The DDP democratizes access to sophisticated tools, enables workflow automation, and ensures robust data management with traceability and analysis capabilities. Integrating the SPDM platform and PIDO tools accelerates the transition from physical to virtual prototyping, enhancing collaboration and innovation in product development. This case study showcases the transformative potential of SPDM systems in adopting digital-first approaches, reducing time to market, and improving R&D effectiveness in the consumer goods industry.
