Product Configurator for Marketing to Manufacturing design automation

 1980s – Drafting Board to Autocad – 50% time saving with 30% process saving  1990s – 2D to 3D – 35% time saving with 25% process saving  2000s – 3D PLM and Verticals in confluence with ERP – 30% time saving with 20% Process saving  Next - ? Newer Problems, bigger demands

 Trends in the past that drove Technology  Get new customers, Retain existing customers  Reduce Losses, errors, rejection  Improve Productivity, quality, time to market and R&D  New trends  Growth – show continuous and sustained growth of customers, revenue, profits and value  Abundant business opportunities, overflowing orders.  High attrition, Shortage of skill sets, high manpower costs  Product specialization, core business values, new applications, technology leadership

 Quicker generation of product design and drawings. Higher productivity, efficiency and output  Faster response to customer needs with more clarity, more options and scalability.  Reduced errors and miscommunications  Knowledge capture and core design security implementation  De-Skilling of intrinsic skills. Lesser Manpower dependence  Upto 90% time reduction in design and almost 50% improvement in total ETO cycle  Connectivity and Communications extends from customer to manufacturing and remains synchronized with business / manufacturing systems.  Integration with Web, ERP, CRM and other business systems as a side effect  Scalable results in design and marketing without the need to expand team.
