Innovation and collaborative, synchronized program management for new programs
Our manufacturing process planning and simulation solution for the industrial machinery industry is designed to enable manufacturing enterprises to manage their highly complex, configured-to-order product variations and produce them as required to meet regional and local regulations and specific customer requirements. This includes creating plant-specific MBOMs from a single EBOM, transferring intelligent work instructions directly to the shop floor, and a closed-loop change process between engineering and manufacturing.

Machinery complexity and individual customization requires multiple concurrent disciplines and flexible, modular manufacturing process plans. Historical methods are simply too time-consuming and incapable of addressing these ever-increasing challenges.
Machinery developers also face a highly competitive global market that, along with machine complexity and customization, increases the risk to profitability for companies that are not able to develop the most efficient use of production resources quickly.
To remain competitive in this environment, machine manufacturers must begin to digitalize the entire manufacturing process, including adding simulation during product development to minimize downtime and drive quality and cost upstream, where changes cost less to implement. This can be achieved by leveraging best-in-class tools to communicate workflow and operating procedures to remove ambiguity and drive up first-run efficiency.
Our manufacturing process planning and simulation solution for the industrial machinery industry establishes a closed-loop change management system between engineering and manufacturing to help both teams evaluate and assess the impact of a design change and perform assembly feasibility analyses. Establishing a controlled manufacturing change collaboration and reconciliation can help improve time to market by ensuring manufacturing and engineering are aligned and issues are identified and resolved prior to physical production.
