Custom Equipment Design

equipment ready for delivery

Heavy equipment manufacturers get ever more requests for specialized custom equipment design. Across industries, companies are trying out innovative techniques, targeting new levels of productivity, sustainability, safety, and more. This often requires specialized machinery. Besides, as those companies are operating globally, they might need equipment that is suitable for specific local conditions or that is compliant with local regulations. Accommodating such individual requirements in a profitable way is challenging, especially as equipment is becoming increasingly complex.

Siemens helps heavy equipment manufacturers deliver all types of custom equipment design more efficiently by offering them an environment with modules for configure-to-order (CTO) design, engineer-to-order (ETO) design, or any combination in between. By using those solutions for CTO and ETO, heavy equipment manufacturers can build new configurations faster while maximizing commonality and reuse, speed up the development of new parts using automation, and improve collaboration and efficiency during verification and validation of numerous custom equipment design variants.

Maximize commonality and reuse during custom equipment design

When offering custom equipment design, OEMs can achieve massive time and cost savings if they can maximize reuse of existing parts and components and if they optimize the commonality across the variants they have. To make this possible, their product planners must have access to data across all business lines and product segments as well as tools to leverage existing parts in building new configurations and validating those for compatibility. Those configuration-related choices should be made prior to and independent from the actual design process. And that single variability definition should then be maintained throughout the lifecycle. By doing so, decisions will be made for business reasons while everyone downstream in the process can focus on valid configurations using consistent data.

Enable any degree of custom equipment design

Offering customers more freedom of choice is commercially very interesting. But it adds pressure on the design team, as unique design requires dedicated engineering and because managing product data is more challenging if all serial numbers are different. A thorough digitalization of the design process is indispensable to achieve full custom equipment design or ETO. OEMs can save a massive amount of time if they can automate a part of the engineering process. For example, if based on legacy data, they can set up a rules engine where customer requirements and their organization’s capabilities are coupled and from which they can automatically generate technical content. In most cases however, requests are neither ETO not CTO, but somewhere in between. For those cases, design engineers need tools that have both CTO and ETO solutions, and where one solution is driving the other. Then any degree of custom equipment design can be accomplished efficiently.

Gain efficiency and flexibility by improving collaboration between custom equipment design stakeholders

Especially when working on various configurations simultaneously, OEMs cannot afford to lose time redoing work because teams for different disciplines were using inconsistent data or doing double work because they are not fully aware of each other’s activities. Therefore, it’s important that all stakeholders in the custom equipment design process, including peripheral divisions and suppliers, are connected through a common platform, where they have access to the same up-to-date data, so they can smoothly collaborate. By deploying such a digital infrastructure, many activities will happen way more efficiently, including generating the Bill of Materials, CAD, simulation and more. Such a platform should also facilitate proper change management. Change is necessary to continuously improve equipment, but it may impact many product areas. Understanding ‘how’ is crucial to make informed decisions or to anticipate. To implement change effectively and safely, it is necessary to deploy a systematic approach that provides increased visibility and control, across the various teams that may be impacted.

Funcionalidades de la solución

Engineering Automation

Con las funciones de diseño bajo pedido de Rulestream y Teamcenter, puede automatizar las reglas de productos y procesos. Gracias a esta automatización, puede satisfacer los nuevos requisitos con rapidez y precisión, al mismo tiempo que garantiza que se cumplan las restricciones determinadas por su organización. Es posible crear paquetes de ofertas y fabricación en minutos, en lugar de en semanas. Rulestream permite satisfacer las demandas de los clientes de productos diseñados bajo pedido garantizando al mismo tiempo su rentabilidad.

Flexible Product Line Engineering

Ofrezca a sus clientes la variedad que necesitan al mismo tiempo que fomenta la rentabilidad. Teamcenter permite una definición única de la variabilidad en los diferentes dominios y en el ciclo de vida. Las opciones del producto no están vinculadas con los datos del diseño, pero se gestionan de forma independiente para que se puedan utilizar en la organización. De este modo se logra una única fuente de datos de configuración de fácil uso. Los planificadores pueden definir productos, líneas de productos y características que desean lanzar al mercado. Los ingenieros pueden centrarse en las configuraciones válidas. El departamento de fabricación puede generar una lista de procesos que utilice la misma definición.

Gestión de listas de materiales

Nuestra solución le ayuda a conocer el producto gracias a una fuente común de información sobre la BOM en toda la empresa. Tanto si necesita una gestión básica de la lista de materiales como una más avanzada junto a una configuración con mayor flexibilidad y escalabilidad, ahora podrá satisfacer e incluso superar la demanda del mercado con ofertas de productos innovadoras y variadas.

Product Configuration Integrations

Para gestionar y automatizar los productos configurados con fiabilidad, no es suficiente disponer de un sistema independiente de diseño bajo pedido y de una serie de herramientas o sistemas independientes de gestión de la configuración del producto. Siemens PLM proporciona una solución integrada de gestión de la configuración del producto que permite utilizar la potencia de Teamcenter y Rulestream conjuntamente, así como las funciones exclusivas que ofrecen otros tipos de software. La solución de gestión de la configuración del producto de Siemens se integra con algunas de las herramientas más potentes que ya está utilizando para hacer funcionar su empresa.
