Accelerate heavy equipment design

Accelerating heavy equipment design is mandatory to deliver the complex, customized products your customers demand today. Our comprehensive end-to-end integrated solution helps break down silos by connecting teams and tools. Reduce time to market while improving quality and meeting regulations.

Accelerate your heavy equipment design & delivery time

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.

Deliver what your customers demand faster

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.

Deal with increasing business pressure

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)

Master surging regulatory complexity

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)

Design what today’s customers demand

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)
