Virtual Reality Systems Streamline Prototyping at CNH Global
A division of Fiat Industrial S.p.A., CNH Global N.V. is a leading manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment. The company makes products in 37 facilities worldwide and distributes them through more than 11,500 dealers in 170 countries.
CNH has always tried to stay ahead of its competitors technologically. This forward-looking approach led company engineers in 2001 to try an interactive 3D virtual reality (VR) system to solve an ongoing manufacturing challenge: improve design and reduce waste when creating prototypes. Made by Virtalis, the ActiveWall system was installed in a U.S. plant.
