- A guaranteed ROI in Designmatix solutions is relieving the client’s design resources by saving the time spent on below potentially robotizable (repetitive) activities.
- Design calculations
- 3D modelling and drafting
- Design Documentation – Drawings, BOMS
- Drawing reviews , Drawing logs- Product data management
- Preparing product specification
- Investing in Design Automation projects creates opportunities for the teams to address more complex challenges that are often not given due diligence due to tied-up design resources, such as:
- New product development
- Exploring and adapting to new emerging capabilities, hence mitigating risk by early acquisition. ( Additive Manufacturing, reverse engineering and digital prototyping are to name a few emerging technologies which are expected to transition from ‘nice to have’ to ‘must have’ capabilities within the next decade transforming the manufacturing sector)
- Product and manufacturing process improvements
- Product performance testing and simulations
- Product certifications and qualifications
- Design team’s increased support and co-ordination with project, sales, manufacturing and quality team
