ELECTRIC MOTOR ENGINEERING

ELECTRIC MOTOR ENGINEERING

Standard or bespoke? The accurate design and production of electric motors is the chief competitive factor for this company. The customer buys an energy-efficient drive solution tailored to the respective operating point. The company can therefore stand apart from the major players in this sector and exist very well in this niche market.

Client: Manufacturer of electric motors < 200 employees

Branch: Electric motor engineering

Topic: Offer configuration, cutting production costs, organisation/configuration of parts lists, product configuration, variant management

Situation: An ERP solution developed by the company itself was designed for finding job variants already processed. The topics of classification and finding old orders via features had reached a high level of development. However, manual changes to completed orders and job parts lists plus the fact that the system was not integrated in the CAD environment led to high workloads in parts lists management and when adapting drawings. Valuable time was lacking at other places for innovations or new developments.

Brief:

  • Selection and introduction of a suitable ERP system
  • Survey and mapping of product/configuration logic
  • Automation of parts lists management, including CAD automation
  • Integrating CAD in the ERP environment
  • Creation of consistent processes from requirements survey through sales to design/calculations, offer configuration and alphanumeric parts lists configuration
  • Individual activation of ETO-CAD configuration for adaptations

Result:

  • A consistent process chain from customer enquiry via offer configuration and automated derivation of order parts lists, including CAD model/drawing data records (generation of dimensioned drawings)
  • Substantial reductions in workloads for parts lists maintenance and shortening the order throughput time
  • The option of being able to maintain product structure and product logic centrally (requirements and product management)
  • Competitiveness safeguarded permanently
