Frequently asked questions
NPI is a structured process for transforming a product idea into a complete end-product that can be fully reproduced. An integrated NPI process ensures the product portfolio is in line with market demands, supporting modular, configurable design approaches.
Digitalization is crucial to improve processes in component manufacturing. Using our cloud-based tools, you can drive greater efficiency, velocity and revenue outcomes for your business. The digital twin provides a single view of all product data, including design, product planning, catalog creation and manufacturing domains. With this, you can align on product development goals and standardize processes for greater consistency — leading to higher quality assurance. Empower domains to balance and verify internal needs against changing customer requirements to expedite planning, scheduling, execution and delivery to market.
Leverage our digital solutions to help control product profitability in component manufacturing with early lifecycle cost reductions. Connect with supply chain vendors and distribution network partners sooner using the cloud to better understand and control external cost expenditures. Drive down energy use and implement cost-efficient, sustainable materials using the digital twin.
You can lower your manufacturing costs and increase your business’ profit margin using our digital solutions. Our solutions integrate cost management with design, quality, manufacturing and variability management in a robust, secure cloud infrastructure to drive alignment. Cost engineers can collaborate earlier, reducing miscommunications so that product development is focused on profitable, sustainable options. Enhance product reliability to secure repeat order revenue and leverage code reusability for swift customization and scalability to satisfy even more profitable commission requests than ever before.
Equipment and component manufacturers put quality first with the use of a quality management system (QMS) integrated with their product lifecycle management (PLM). A QMS by itself can track product defects and non-conformities, while also ensuring production is compliant with regulations, assurance standards and quality control protocols. By integrating quality systems and new product introduction development, manufacturers can produce higher quality components.
