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.

Funzionalità della soluzione

Bill of Materials Management

Teamcenter aiuta a conoscere il proprio prodotto fornendo una fonte di informazioni sulle distinte base comune all'intera organizzazione. Che occorrano solo funzioni di base per la gestione delle BOM, oppure funzioni di configurazione e gestione più avanzate, capaci di garantire livelli superiori di flessibilità e scalabilità, questa soluzione consente di soddisfare e superare le esigenze di mercato con offerte di prodotti più differenziate e innovative.

Engineering Automation

Le funzionalità di progettazione su commessa disponibili in Rulestream e Teamcenter consentono di automatizzare le regole di prodotti e processi. Grazie a questa automazione, è sempre possibile soddisfare nuovi requisiti in modo rapido e preciso, con la certezza di rispettare i vincoli imposti dall'organizzazione. È possibile creare offerte e pacchetti di produzione in pochi minuti, anziché in settimane. Rulestream consente di rispondere alle esigenze dei clienti che richiedono prodotti progettati su commessa, senza rinunciare all'utile.

Flexible Product Line Engineering

Si può offrire la varietà richiesta dai clienti aumentando al tempo stesso la redditività. Teamcenter consente di utilizzare una singola definizione di variabilità tra domini diversi e lungo tutto il ciclo di vita. Le opzioni di progetto non sono vincolate ai dati di progettazione, ma vengono gestite in modo indipendente per poter essere sfruttate in tutta l'organizzazione. In questo modo si ottiene un'origine di dati di configurazione comune e facile da usare. I planner possono definire i prodotti, le linee di prodotto e le feature che desiderano commercializzare. Gli ingegneri possono concentrarsi sulle configurazioni valide. Il reparto produzione può generare una BOP basata sulla stessa definizione.

Product Configuration Integrations

Per gestire e automatizzare veramente i prodotti configurati, non bastano un sistema standalone progettato su ordinazione e sistemi o strumenti standalone per la gestione della configurazione dei prodotti. Siemens PLM fornisce una soluzione integrata per la gestione della configurazione dei prodotti che consente di sfruttare tutti i vantaggi di Teamcenter e Rulestream contemporaneamente, oltre alle funzionalità uniche offerte da altri software. La soluzione Siemens per la gestione della configurazione dei prodotti si integra con alcuni degli strumenti più avanzati già presenti in azienda per la gestione del business.
