CPQ-ERP coupling in electric motor construction

The different applications and fields of use within drive technology present drive solution manufacturers with particular challenges when it comes to the online availability of detailed product information, design and calculation options and the provision of product-specific specifications and data sheets in almost all languages.

Client:
Manufacturer of electric motors 
and drive components 
> 1,000 employees

Industry:
Electric motor construction, drive technology

Topic:
Quotation configuration, electronic product catalog, easyKAT-SAP integration

Situation:
Until 15 years ago, only print catalogs and product flyers were used. There was an increasing demand from customers to provide electronic documents. The volume of required product-relevant documents increased exponentially at that time. As the market expanded, demands for various languages were added. This gave rise to the idea of an electronic catalog in the design/calculation area. Initially on CD, later also on the Internet and due to the growing data content on DVD, now also on USB stick.

Task:

  • Mapping of a complex product range in the low and high voltage sector towards an electronic product catalog and quotation configurator (CPQ):
    • Power range 0.06 kW to 42 MW
    • High size variance
    • Various speeds including pole-changing variants
    • Complex mechanical modular system
    • Mapping of products requiring approval
    • Integration of 3D CAD models
    • Dynamic generation of data sheets and characteristic curves
    • Product-side mapping of approx. 20,000 different types with more than 14 million possible variants
    • approx. 200,000 active products mapped in SAP.

Result:

  • Electronic product catalog with integrated product and quotation configurator and CAD download.
  • Basic selection, electrical and design selection and provision of the following documents in real time:
    • Data sheets (motor data sheet, electrical data, operating characteristics, terminal diagram)
    • Design dimensions (dimension sheet, terminal box drawing, 3D CAD)
    • Other documents (operating instructions, safety data sheet, spare parts lists)
    • easyKAT-SAP integration (transfer of evaluated KMATs from the quotation item)
    • Configuration in easyKAT with completion of the evaluation and return to SAP
    • Configuration of material master sales texts in easyKAT and return to SAP (multilingual).
