Bold ambitions
- Ensuring digital continuity for the Bill Of Material (BOM) of parts and components at every stage of the development life cycle is a major challenge.
- Transferring Electrical System Installation drawings between the various software solutions in use (3D, 2D, PDM) used to require a manual process, leading to errors and requiring a huge amount of time, and therefore money.
- Data consistency was not ensured between the 3D definition models and the 2D models.
Reliable solutions
- Expleo designed a system that fully automates the process, ensuring data continuity and consistency: the AutoBOM App
- The app can be used to create a full automated BOM or only as an automated check from F3D Set BOM and Auto2D BOM
- Services delivered:
- Product Design and Process Engineering
- Process Life Cycle Management
- Manufacturing and Engineering
- Global Methodology proposal incl. automation
- Architecture and Integration: development of application (Taksy / CatiaV5)
- Testing & Validation: Implementation tests and maintenance
- Part of Expleo’s DataSmart digital offering
Client benefits
- 90% savings on each BOM task for ESI measured on 928 cases.
- Automated BOM generation, and transfer to PDM System.
- Quality increase through data continuity and less manual work (DQN Reduction).
- App developed during COVID-19 crisis in an “amazingly short timeframe with nothing comparable available from any other source” a Digital Transformation Leader for the client said.
