Engineer To Order (ETO) product designers face challenges to provide “mass customization” of their products better, faster, and cheaper than their competitors. An ETO automation system allows many or all portions of the ETO process to be automated, thus providing quicker turnaround, lower engineering costs, and consistent adherence to product rules and standards.
ETO automation systems can include the following capabilities:
- Configuration of a 3D product model for use by the customer and/or sales engineer
- Automated engineering analyses based on the 3D product model and the product’s intended usage environment
- Output of accurate layout or general arrangement drawings for use by the customer and/or sales engineer
- Creation of detailed drawings down to the piece-part level for internal engineering and manufacturing use
- Generation of BOM, price quote, work orders, and other documents
- Automated NC tool path generation
- Data management/archiving of various product configurations
- Secure, web-based access to product configurations with customer access restricted to only their own designs
