Overcome product variability challenges with PLM software
By implementing a PLM system heavy equipment companies can improve the product development process and empower innovation.
Product development has only grown more challenging as heavy equipment complexity increases with different mechanical, electronic, and software components. The number of different product variations increases exponentially for companies developing multiple custom products.
This webinar focuses on embracing complexity and using product variability to your advantage.
Find out how maximizing the reuse of product variations from engineering to manufacturing drives innovation and propels heavy equipment manufacturers forward.
Improve the product development cycle
The best PLM solutions support the full spectrum of product variability:
- Configure-to-order products with a defined set of supported variants
- More complex products with an exponential number of possible variations and combinations
- Engineer-to-order products that require new variants of parts and designs with every order
The sheer volume of possible combinations associated with heavy equipment product variability requires a tool to create the combinations and manage all of them over time. Manufacturers can embrace this challenge by bringing product variability to the forefront in the production definition and design process to maximize reuse and commonality while reducing engineering effort.
A PLM solution should deliver full visibility of the variance of a product suite, enabling each discipline to manage areas of configuration unique to their domains within a common framework.
Watch this webinar and see firsthand how a PLM solution can improve the product development cycle to drive innovation in the face of increasingly high product variation.
