Applications
E-commerce cycle
- Facilitate the process of product "discovery", with simplified interface to the variants and options, specifically dedicated to the end-user.
- Give an immediate, 3D graphic representation of the combination of choices (variants and options) from the user input.
- Limit, according to the company marketing and or production limitations, the possible combinations allowed, always ensuring a correct order.
- Connect the output of the product configurator to an e-commerce site, to finalize the purchase.
Order and production cycle
- Using the same graphic and commercial database, there is no need to re-create in the factory the order that has been forwarded by the e-commerce site.
- Produce a dynamic BOM with an infinite level drill-down, with the minimum data storage. We should speak about a bill of order material because it is more than bill of material.
- Produce manufacturing data as a natural output from graphic positioning and contacts between parts.
Maintenance cycle
- Easily identify the parts on a complex product with a one-to-one relationship between graphic components and their codes and description.
- Speed up the process of maintenance by using virtual and or augmented reality to identify failures and breakdowns.
