Solutions
Engineering companies, such as motor and aerospace manufacturers, invest heavily in product design and in the systems to help them create, manage store and process product data. But typically, these systems provide only basic search and retrieval tools, so opportunities are regularly missed to re-use designs or to rationalise existing parts libraries. Using ShapeSpace allows an organisation to ‘wring more’ from their existing investments in product design, ultimately delivering a higher level of customer service and profitability.
By understanding the geometry of components, ShapeSpace gives organisations a set of powerful tools with which to manage their parts libraries:
- Search-by-shape. Quickly find and re-use existing parts saving time and money.
- Duplicate analysis. Find and consolidate duplicate parts and deduplicate CAD vault and improve data quality
- Part rationalisation. Discover opportunities to rationalise groups of parts.
- Data cleansing. Lower the risk and complexity of migrataton or upgrade of data by rationalising Data
ShapeSpace delivers the following business benefits:
- Saves the management and inventory costs of duplicate designs.
- Simple deletion or archiving of non-current duplicate parts keeps databases up-to-date and is ideal for data cleansing prior to migrating to a PLM solution.
- Shorten the time to authorisation of new part introduction by applying part re-use.
- Saves designers’ time by allowing rapid retrieval of proven designs.
- Improved customer service – it is easy to identify, select and deliver the correct replacement part more quickly.
