Intelligent design system It is a design management system tailored to the characteristics of the discrete manufacturing industry, with product design as the core. Unifies the design work process focusing on the following functions: • Employs a parametric design concept; • Integrates 3D design software; • Incorporates product design and R&D; • Manages product change and management; • EPDM data collection and management; • Process routing maintenance and management; • Contract processing; • Accurate interface data provided to the ERP system.

Introduction

It integrates R&D, product serialization, contract processing, design change, process routing design, purchase quotation, packing design, data preparation and other business functions all on one unified information management platform. This is accomplished through the parameterization, modularization, 3D improvements, realizing standardization of design data, automation of non-standard designs, system operation integration and rationalization of business processes.

It establishes an unified R&D management platform between multiple factories, unifying product design, parallel design, manufacturing, packing, procurement data preparation, shortening product standardization cycle and breaking down barriers to design and manufacturing. The parameterization of data during the design, manufacturing and procurement processes ensure the level automation during contract processing is enhanced.

Implement Parametric Design

The system supports the editing and calculation of parameterized formulas. According to different input parameters, automatically calculates non-standard size, configuration & materials. Expanding the scope of automatic contracts, reducing non-standard designs and improving efficiency.

Automatically Converts EBOM to MBOM

Automatically generate configurations, non-standard EBOM by parameterized rules, and can automatically transfer EBOM to MBOM (add raw materials and auxiliary materials), and can also match the pricing formula to the parameterized formula.

Table automatic programming vs. coding

1 table = 48 paragraph statements, achieves 100 times efficiency.

Unique Advantages

  1. Parametric design, product size scope from a scatter chart to an expanded line chart, reducing non-standard requirements and broadening the scope of managing automatic contracts.

  2. 3D model drive automatically generate drawings, sheet metal expansion diagrams, reducing the design error rate by 20%.

  3. 3D model real-time verification, linking the design formula and model data, with real-time verification of the accuracy of design formula and accessory products R&D design.

  4. Logic version management, undertakes contract processing according to the automatically selected specified time, calculates the corresponding version logic, meets the batch shipping requirements of companies.

  5. Design logic does not need to be translated, design configuration is completed without programming, the design results are directly sent to contract processing, without requiring someone in PLM or ERP to edit twice.

  6. EBOM is automatically transferred into MBOM, automatically generate packaging BOM, process routing, material BOM, procurement BOM and other data, and can be transferred to ERP.

Integrated Design Platform

Integrated design, integrated procurement, integrated packaging, supports manufacturing by container, assisting enterprises to optimize the allocation of resources, saving logistics costs.

Full Process Tracking

The system integrates the design platform, for the entire design to provide the design of the whole process of tracking;

Modular design of products

The system provides a wealth of product data structure, product modular design, components as the unit of management, different parts of the combination, the formation of different series of whole ladder;

Provide development efficiency

New product development is not limited by type, individual components can be developed, existing components can be directly transferred, reducing development workload and shortening the development cycle;

Excel Visualization Design Function

The system uses Excel to provide visual representation of component design functions, allowing simple and practical operation, greatly reducing the rate of programming errors and ensuring ease of comprehension;

Parametric Design Plan

The system supports parametric formula editing and operation according to different input parameters, automatically calculating non-standard size, configuration, material and other components. Thereby, expanding the scope of automatic contracts, reducing time spent on non-standard designs, thus improving efficiency;

3D Model Drive

The system supports 3D model, interface and 3D Model Association, realizes design formula and model linkage, all R & amp; d, design personnel can verify the accuracy of design formula in real time through model, assist product R & amp; d design;

Sheet Metal Expansion Drawings

Automatically generate sheet metal expansion manufacturing drawings, directly imported into the CNC machine for processing;

Predictive Test Functions

The system provides a predictive test function, which can be used to test the operation according to the whole or individual parts. This function verifies whether the design data meets expectations, and therefore reducing the risk of data flow problems in the design cycle.

Basic Data Automatic Export Function

The system basic data automatic export function, allows design data, manufacturing data and parameter information to be maintained and then exported for use by downstream systems.

Integrated Multi-plant Manufacturing

Our system enables multiple plants spanning the globe to prepare their own manufacturing data simultaneously using one system. This allows for manufacturing, production planning and supply chain data to be shared and integrated. In addition, our intelligent system allows for the global storage of product data, which then can orchestrate a high-capacity of work orders and instruct multiple manufacturing plants to produce across a company’s network, reducing the amount of repeated work, greatly improve efficiency, and ultimately cut manufacturing and logistics overhead.

Contract Processing

ZXtech’s system provides full automation of standard contract processing, full process tracking of non-standard contracts and designs, a contract parameter acquisition interface, a calculating function and an import & export function.

Automated Process Management

The system provides the full automatic processing of standard contracts and the full process tracking function of non-standard contracts & designs;

Parameter Free Conversion

The system offers a contract parameter acquisition interface, obtaining parameters from different systems or interfaces. The parameter conversion function allows the conversion between old and new parameters;

Automatic Conversion of E-BOM to M-BOM

The system calculation function, automatically converts the design BOM into the manufacturing BOM. The parameterization rule automatically generates the dimensions and configures the non-standard EBOM, then automatically converting the EBOM to MBOM (adding raw materials and accessories), also allowing the parametric formula correspond to the core price formula;

Import and Export Function

In addition to supporting online editing, the system also provides a wealth of import/export functions, such as the import/export of parameters, component BOM, routing, etc.

BOM Automatic Export Function

The system provides the automatic export function of BOM structure, automatically exports the standard BOM or BOM with non-standard additions or retractions, as well as the parameters corresponding to the parameterized parts, provided to downstream systems.

Product Value

Process efficiency improvements and economic benefits.

Processing efficiency

Automatic processing of 45% of standard contracts within 5 minutes, semi-automatic processing of 44% of parameterized contracts, high degree of automation processing, allowing enterprises to save a considerable amount on labor costs;

Economic benefits

Take a previous case study as an example, before the implementation of the system the weekly requirements were for 720 contracts, with an automatic contract processing ratio of 30%. After implementing the system, processing capacity raised to 1300 units per week, with the automatic contract processing ratio raising to 80%, an 80% increase in production and only an 18% increase in personnel.
