Electric motor construction

Standard or tailor-made. The precise design and production of electric motors is the company's main competitive factor. The customer receives an energy-efficient drive solution individually designed for the respective operating point. This sets the company apart from the big players in the industry and enables it to survive very well in this niche.

Client:
Manufacturer of electric motors
< 200 employees

Industry sector:
Electric motor manufacturing

Topic:
Quotation configuration, manufacturing cost reduction, parts list organization, parts list configuration, product configuration, variant management

Situation:
A self-developed ERP solution was designed to find processed order variants. The topic of classifying and finding old orders via characteristics was highly developed and distinctive. However, the manual modification of found and processed orders and order BOMs as well as the non-connection to the CAD world led to high costs in BOM management and the adaptation of drawings. Precious time was lacking elsewhere for innovations or new developments.

Task:

  • Selection and introduction of a suitable ERP system
  • Recording and mapping of the product/configuration logic
  • Automation of the parts list system including CAD automation
  • Integration of the CAD and ERP worlds
  • Creation of end-to-end processes from the recording of requirements by the sales department to design/calculation, quotation configuration and alphanumeric BOM configuration
  • Individual control of the ETO CAD configuration in the event of adjustments.

Result:

  • Continuous process chain from the customer request to the quotation configuration and the automated derivation of the order parts list including CAD model/drawing set (generation of dimensional drawings)
  • Reduction of effort for parts list maintenance and shortening of order throughput time by factors
  • Possibility to maintain product structure and product logic centrally (requirements and product management)
  • Sustainable safeguarding of competitiveness
  • Freedom for innovations and new developments by relieving the design department.
