Compliant Equipment Design

Compliant equipment harvesting

Today’s equipment design is always under time pressure because of the continuously growing product complexity and the increasing demand for customization. Besides, globalization adds more challenges, such as working in distributed teams, with all sorts of suppliers, and being confronted with numerous local regulations that become increasingly stringent. It’s important for heavy equipment manufacturers to stay focused on what ultimately matters most: delivering compliant equipment of consistently high quality that exceeds the industry standard anywhere, every time.

Siemens helps heavy equipment manufacturers build a solid reputation in the market by providing them with all the components they need to achieve compliant equipment design excellence. By deploying those solutions, manufacturers can make sure that throughout the entire process, all stakeholders in equipment design stay continuously focused on the requirements. They can take a systematic approach to verification management, based on a common environment where all data is stored and kept up to date. And they preserve, at any time, a clear view of deliverables, status, risks, and opportunities, and traceability of all decisions across the program.

Manage requirements and confidently achieve compliant equipment

Today is all about emissions. But compliant equipment design is also about aspects like safety, ergonomics, noise, vibrations and more. Unfortunately, around the world, many local variants of regulations apply. For globally operating OEMs, managing those so that their product groups understand and implement them correctly, is challenging. To simplify the problem, it is important that they see the similarities and differences across regions, so that they can translate all regulations into a set that is more concise and easier to work with. This can help, for example, to set up processes for automated design to regulatory requirements. Still, keeping all stakeholders focused on the requirements must be a continuous effort to achieve compliant equipment design. Proper requirement management means they must be captured, shared, and maintained in an integrated repository that participates in standard product lifecycle management services. They must be linked to tasks and resources to drive priorities, for continuous verification and validation, and to study the impact and the risk of change.

Exceed industry standards for compliant equipment by following a systematic verification management approach

Industry standards provide a framework for a common understanding of what appropriate quality or good practice is. To strengthen their reputation and protect their brand, OEMs must adhere to all the methods, processes, requirements, and specifications defined in those standards, and must also be able to proof this. Being a global industrial player as well as a user of the technologies we sell, at Siemens we have embedded vast knowledge of standards and regulations as built-in features in our solutions. With Siemens solutions, OEMs can conduct, for example, ergonomics analysis, visibility studies, and many more during compliant equipment design. Still, it requires a continuous effort to verify if the equipment meets the prescribed standards. Therefore, it is also necessary to deploy a systematic approach to verification and validation, one where all stakeholders can access the same, common up-to-date data set, where they can communicate instantly on information like data, requirements, and status, and where the impact of all decisions can be tracked throughout the entire compliant equipment design cycle.

Be accountable and transparent and provide proof of delivering compliant equipment

The relationship between OEMs and their customers often strongly relies on trust. And with emerging technologies such as autonomous and connected capabilities, this will become even more important as an increasing number of responsibilities will come to the OEMs. In this context, it is crucial for them to be transparent. They must keep track of requirements throughout the lifecycle and document all decisions that are being taken along the way, including changes. They must follow such a systematic and traceable approach to program management so that they are able to provide proof points of good practice for compliant equipment design in case there is a litigation. In fact, it will benefit all stakeholders if program managers, team leaders and designers are connected via a common platform where they share up-to-date information. With execution and planning tied together, everyone has immediate access to what they need for their job. This fosters efficiency, provides a clear view of deliverables, status, risks, and opportunities, and allows traceability of decisions across the program.

Bill of Materials Management

O Teamcenter ajuda você a conhecer seu produto fornecendo uma fonte comum de informações de BOM em toda a sua organização. Quer precise de gerenciamento básico de BOM ou um gerenciamento e configuração de BOM mais avançado, com maior flexibilidade e escalabilidade, é possível atingir e superar a demanda de mercado para ofertas de produto mais inovadores e variados.

Change Management & Workflow

Com o Teamcenter, você pode reduzir o esforço manual e o custo de gerenciar e rastrear qualquer processo de PLM. Desde o gerenciamento de alterações entre disciplinas até a execução de uma simples revisão de projeto, passando pela coordenação de uma resposta a problemas de qualidade, você pode concentrar pessoas nas tarefas certas, com os dados certos, para tomar as decisões certas no momento certo. Ao executar alterações, você pode garantir que todas as partes interessadas entendam exatamente o que está mudando e como isso as afeta.

Mechanical Design Management

O Teamcenter reúne todos os seus dados de projeto auxiliado por computador mecânico (MCAD) em um único ambiente de gerenciamento de dados do produto (PDM) para melhorar a produtividade da engenharia. Independentemente de sua empresa usar uma ou mais ferramentas MCAD, você pode encontrar facilmente peças e montagens criadas em outras ferramentas em seu ambiente MCAD preferido, modificá-las e incorporá-las em montagens multiCAD ou projetos de produtos. Você pode automatizar processos de alteração de engenharia, validação e aprovação para acelerar o tempo do ciclo e melhorar a qualidade do produto.

Product Requirements Engineering

O valor dos requisitos não está em capturá-los, mas na condução do processo de desenvolvimento do produto. O Teamcenter aloca requisitos a várias arquiteturas de funções/recursos/produtos de downstream, ao mesmo tempo que gera relatórios, documentação e painéis para gerenciar o processo de requisitos. Você pode criar, visualizar e editar requisitos diretamente de aplicativos familiares do Microsoft Office, incluindo Microsoft Word e Excel. Os requisitos integrados de ciclo de vida permitem processos de desenvolvimento que começam integrados e continuam integrados ao longo de todo o ciclo de vida do produto.

Visualization, Digital Mockup & Virtual Reality

Os recursos de simulação digital e visualização do Teamcenter permitem que todos no ciclo de vida do produto acessem e colaborem com dados de projeto 2D e 3D para que você possa tomar decisões informadas sobre o produto. O Teamcenter cria protótipos virtuais a partir de vários formatos de projeto auxiliado por computador mecânico (MCAD) que você pode usar, em vez de criar protótipos físicos dispendiosos para realizar estudos mais especializados, como ergonomia e planejamento de caminho. Revisões de projeto de realidade virtual (VR) permitem que você mergulhe no mundo virtual do gêmeo digital do produto.
