The challenge:
The need to get more products to market faster has driven manufacturers to distribute production over many, often geographically remote, plants and contract manufacturers. The strategy to "plan anywhere, build anywhere" requires technologies and methodologies that allow manufacturers to efficiently author, simulate and manage manufacturing information throughout their organization and with each other.
The Solution: TECNOMATIX
This innovative solution addresses "how" a product has to be manufactured and provides the link between product design systems that address "what" has to be manufactured and shop-floor execution systems that address "when" and "where." Tecnomatix is a flexible manufacturing engineering solution that dramatically increases your company`s profitability by improving the way your products are built. Developed for companies with manufacturing processes whose success depends on bringing more products to market faster and for less cost regardless of manufacturing complexities.
Tecnomatix Manufacturing Data Management
Manufacturing planning and execution involves a variety of complex and interconnected activities - from part and assembly process planning to plant design, ergonomics analysis and quality planning. Your digital manufacturing solution must be able to support and streamline all of these activities. Without a data management solution as robust as in Tecnomatix, your manufacturing process will not operate at peak efficiency.
Together with Teamcenter technologies, Tecnomatix creates a valuable, open, digital manufacturing foundation that manages product design, manufacturing engineering and production management information all in a single system - and it has delivered proven benefits to a number of leading manufacturers. OEMs, their plants, manufacturing engineering firms and manufacturing contractors can work concurrently in a process-centric, collaborative environment that forms a continuous cycle of manufacturing development and improvement.
Tecnomatix Assembly Planning
Tecnomatix Assembly Planning solutions help organizations quickly define and evaluate manufacturing process scenarios to arrive at the best plan for building their products. Combining knowledge management with assembly process improvement applications on an open manufacturing backbone, Tecnomatix Assembly Planning ensures that manufacturers begin production earlier, ramp to full volume faster and respond better to product change.
Assembly Planning solution includes a broad range of applications to optimize assembly sequences; coordinate operation timing and kinematics; verify line performance, including throughput and resource utilization; perform line balancing and analyze production costs. The result is process plan containing a full description of how a product is assembled, manufactured, tested and packaged. This plan becomes the basis for collaboration among planning teams, plants, suppliers and contractors.
Tecnomatix Resource Management
Managing resource data - information on such assets as machine tools, fixtures, robots, welding guns and process templates - is a difficult challenge. Too often this information is fragmented across multiple locations and can`t be accessed by the applications that must use it. Manufacturing engineers often have no recourse but to develop new resource plans because they simply can`t find the data they need to build on proven processes. In these cases, time is wasted and inventory stock levels needlessly balloon. Tecnomatix Resource Management provides an open, common, graphical repository for all information related to an organization`s production resources. The solution helps organizations define a comprehensive structure that classifies data and furnishes tools for users to conduct parametric search queries to retrieve data within seconds. Tecnomatix Resource Management makes data available to improve part manufacturing, tooling design, process planning, machine programming, shop floor communication and other production activities.
Tecnomatix Human Performance
Across industries, the importance of considering human performance in products, workplaces and production processes is paramount. When workers build ergonomically sound products in safer, more productive environments, organizations achieve dramatic improvements in quality, cost, time-to-market and morale. Tecnomatix Human Performance helps organizations improve the ergonomics of product designs, manufacturing tasks and maintenance operations. Tecnomatix Human Performance helps designers develop human-centered products that are safer, more comfortable and more responsive for their targeted user population. Tecnomatix can test product designs to help evaluate whether real people would have the visibility, reach and strength to use those products comfortably.
Tecnomatix Plant Design and Optimization
Producing and selling more units does not necessarily lead to more profit. If plant layout and material flow is not optimized, building more products forces you to spend more money to get the output you desire. Tecnomatix Plant Design & Optimization enables the modeling and simulation of production systems and processes to ensure, in advance of the start of production, that they operate at peak efficiency. By enabling engineers to see the outcome of plans in virtual plants, organizations avoid wasting resources fixing problems in real plants.
This ensures that plant design problems and waste are discovered before your company ramps up for production.
Tecnomatix Part Manufacturing
Tecnomatix Part Manufacturing solution is a managed environment of applications for creating process plans, managing and associating tools to that plan, optimizing tool behavior, and creating flexible reports targeted at part manufacture. Tecnomatix Part Manufacturing links the tasks of the manufacturing engineer, NC programmer, tool designer, tooling manager and shop floor personnel in an electronic and managed environment. You can create operations in both a hierarchical (tree) structure and a process sequence using PERT graphical editing and displays. Key is that it provides controlled access to the right part manufacturing data, at the right time, for the right people.
Tecnomatix Part Manufacturing is an important element of the UGS PLM Software solutions for part lifecycle management.
Tecnomatix Production Management
Access a complete picture of your lifecycle data and manage production processes in real time Access to real-time production data is a requirement in today’s fast-paced and distributed world. Real-time analytics are required knowledge for the agile manufacturer that elevates the plant floor to a whole new level, drives continuous improvement and instills confidence that manufacturing executes as planned. In fact, in an effective PLM strategy, capturing real-time operational data is the only way to measure performance to plan, produce valid cost estimation for new product development and mitigate the risks associated with nonconforming product.
Tecnomatix Production Management works in harmony with Teamcenter® software – integrating as-designed, as-planned, as-built and as-maintained information in a single repository. Now all of a product’s lifecycle data becomes an integrated foundation of associated knowledge which drives innovative and profitable products to market.
Tecnomatix Quality Solutions
The Tecnomatix Quality Solutions can perform consistent and accurate quality analysis by comparing part inspection results against design tolerances. Results are presented in a customizable HTML format. A part inspected on different machines can be consistently analyzed, thus providing an unambiguous interpretation of the results.
In the Tecnomatix Quality Solution environment, production measurement data is stored on an open manufacturing backbone and can be graphically displayed, analyzed and communicated throughout the extended enterprise. Engineers can create and share reports combining measurement inspection data with lightweight 3D geometry. These reports can include statistical process control (SPC) charts, customized views of geometry, cross-sections and text markups. By making visually compelling quality data available on every desktop, you ensure your quality improvement teams have the information needed when it can make a difference.
