Engineer to Order Process Automation for Industrial Machinery

Industrial Machinery manufacturers are being challenged to deliver more product variety while keeping costs from escalating. Our Engineer to Order Process Automation solution for the Industrial Machinery industry provides a powerful rule authoring environment and repository that allows domain experts to capture the rules and best practices used to engineer and bid engineer to order (ETO) products which helps reduce the manufacturing cost of configured products.

Producing engineered to ordered machinery products can be a challenging process as they require engineering effort in both the sales proposal and order fulfillment processes. That engineering effort is time consuming, expensive, and can often be error prone given the time pressures to respond within the sales proposal and order fulfillment processes.
 
Our solution provides a configuration backbone to support the entire machine lifecycle from product planning and engineering through manufacturing planning to execution and service. We provide robust capabilities to support customers across the spectrum of configured products. This includes Machinery customers that have product lines and models with a set of standard products with defined set of supported product variants, customers that deliver complex products with an exponential number of possible variations and combinations (Configure to Order), and customers that have highly complex and engineered to order products that require new variants of parts and designs with every order (ETO). All of these solution capabilities combine to help you deliver faster time to value, and greater solution scalability when compared to traditional approaches.
