Digital innovations and electrification lead to more and stronger interactions between design disciplines. While this increases design complexity, growing demand for customization and globalization present additional challenges. Use an integrated approach that helps you master multidisciplinary complexity by breaking down silos and gain efficiency by focusing on commonality and reuse between programs.
When you start from the early stages of design with an integrated multidisciplinary design approach, you can more effectively meet all requirements and deliver what your customers demand faster at a lower cost. Take control of your heavy equipment design process with fully integrated solutions.
Improved efficiency by focusing on reuse while managing 200,000 product variations. (JCB)
Cut the time from concept to production from a year to three or four months thanks to improved simulation capabilities. (AMAZONE)
Reduced the probability of design errors by 25 percent by integrating harness design with wiring. (Carraro Group)
Continuous equipment innovation is driving the demand for improved design efficiency in the heavy equipment industry. Respond swiftly to ensure timely delivery and profitability. Explore the three key paths necessary to digitalize your design process and discover integrated solutions for each:
Manage the mechanical, electrical and software features of the product in a single collaborative environment using simulation and verification management.
With multidisciplinary design you can:
Gain a competitive edge by delivering what your customer wants on time. Master configuration complexity by deploying a single source of truth for all stakeholders. Support all possible combinations of equipment design.
With comprehensive BOM and configuration management you can:
Exceed industry standards while designing complex individualized equipment. Deploy methods and processes that foster consistent quality with next generation design.
By designing to industry standards you can achieve:
As demand for new machinery, equipment, and automation systems ramps up, machinery makers …must continue making their legacy offerings more efficient to remain competitive throughout the transition. (Boston Consulting Group)
Information about new legislation and regulations is everywhere; however, it is so widely scattered that it can be difficult for organizations to pinpoint what concerns them, what you need to do, and in what time frame. (Price, Waterhouse & Co)
Shifting geographic demand is not the only big change for construction equipment. The industry is also transforming in response to shifts in customer preferences, product technology, business models, and regulatory developments. (McKinsey & Company)
