Five reasons why you need a consistent and integrated configuration process in mechanical and plant engineering:
Connect Sales And Engineering Data in Integrated Configuration Processes
The increasing complexity in product configuration requires new, efficient and, most importantly, integrated solutions. Connect your sales and engineering data with the configuration process to create PDM-compliant CAD data.
This creates the basis for engineering-to-order as well as generating ERP-specific BOMs, work plans, and production processes. CIDEON supports you in automating these process requirements with standardized consultancy methods and software solutions.
5 Reasons For an Integrated Configuration Process
Challenges
Machine and plant manufacturers face many challenges in their day-to-day operations due to an often insufficient overview of integrated processes, ranging from sales and engineering through to logistics processes.
Configuration Process Solutions From CIDEON
The configuration process is a key element in automating your process requirements. CIDEON supports you with standardized consultancy modules and software solutions in the following phases of the product life cycle.
CIDEON Conify
Your Software Solution for a Consistent Configuration Process
CIDEON Conify consistently links data from the sales and engineering phases to automatically provide PDM-compliant MCAD and ECAD data of the configured product. This is the basis for the subsequent Engineering-to-Order and generation of ERP-specific bill of materials, work schedules, wiring diagrams and production processes according to customer requirements, enabling the creation of individual products quickly and according to specifications.
Core Benefits:
- Automation of daily tasks in the processing of configurable products
- Consistent data quality
- Ensure consistent standards for all process participants
- Merging into one mechatronic BOM
CIDEON Conify is the ideal combination of CONnection and CONfiguration!
