The custom software CS Configurator
is a tool that helps to automate repetitive tasks and product variants.
It helps to streamline and speed up the whole business process from request to delivery of a manufactured customized product, eliminating unproductive activities.
The parametric structure of a manufactured product is automated using a set of rules and functions.
CS Configurator is a successor to the discontinued Autodesk Inventor ETO and Configurator 360.
It is a professional tool for Inventor exceeding the possibilities of iLogic rules. Makes use of Autodesk Forge (Viewer and Design automation).
The delivery of this solustion consists of two parts - the core of the Configurator, as a necessary component of the entire solution, and a tailor-made implementation for each customer. The end-users can optionally use the Online web client to customize designs.
Today, end customers increasingly demand customized products.
Manufacturing companies make client-specific products and machines, and as a result, an enormous variety of products is created.
All these different compositions create vast complexity and unpredictability.
Issues:
The store waits long time for documents for offers
Increased demands on the whole structure due to the creation of product variants
Wrong estimates of product prices
High rate of unnecessary remodelings of same or similar components
Needs:
Speed up design process
Simplify typing data
Remove routine tasks
Generate "real" data
Ensure formal correctness
