Our Engineer to Order (ETO) Process Automation solution provides a powerful rule authoring environment and repository that allows domain experts to capture rules and best practices used to engineer and bid ETO products, reducing the manufacturing cost of configured products.
Heavy equipment machinery manufacturers have responded to the challenges of globalization, emerging market demands and technology trends such as autonomy and the need to diversify customer machines on the basis of local government regulations by following their customer base to these new markets. This is driving the need for further customization to meet exact customer demands.
Our solution provides a configuration backbone to support the entire 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 including sets of standard products with a limited number of variants, to highly complex and ETO products that require new variants of parts and designs with every order.
Our solution helps you deliver faster time to value and offers greater scalability when compared to traditional approaches.
Explore the key areas of this solution.
Access your product information on any device is key to meet the collaboration needs you have to bring product experts close to the users of machine configuration information.
Manage a single multidisciplinary BOM for your highly configured heavy equipment, from machine concept through end of life, while maintaining full change control and revision history.
Effectively manage complex, configured machinery platforms, to insure all modules remain current to the product line and supporting legacy machines in the field.
Reduce equipment design time by encapsulating your engineering rules into custom applications enabling your engineering team to concentrate more heavily on developing new product innovations.
Leverage out-of-the-box support for SAP integrations that allows flexibility in what variant information is sent to your ERP system and help automate creation of the specific machine bill of material in your business system.
Improve the efficiency of sales application staff by embedding ETO capabilities into common software tools used by the business to visualize and clearly confirm the specified design effectively for customer facing documents.
Enable a single definition of variability across domains and the equipment lifecycle to deliver the variety your heavy machinery customers demand while driving profitability.
Leverage the single definition of variability to ensure that any user, regardless of role or domain, works only with valid configurations. Guided product configuration limits the features and choices that you can make so that you only see choices that are allowed. This ensures every stakeholder is focused on the products you plan to bring to market.
Leverage the single definition of variability to ensure only valid and allowable configurations are used while ensuring focus remains on machinery you plan to bring to market.
