RE-DESIGN

Category: Software Tools and Design

Description of service

The service provides key figures and data models with which better decisions can be made during the design phase to optimise material expenditure in the production process, planners can use recommendations and examples to find and develop improved design approaches.

With digital models (3D), quantities become more visible and can be prepared for reuse (warehousing, production system). The aim will be to create awareness and show options/paths for action

HOW TO ACCESS THE SERVICE

The [sample] documents could be made accessible via the APP.

Previous analyses with their various key figures would be useful here. Requests could be recorded and incorporated for improvement – which would fulfil customer-specific requirements and also allow other interested parties to use a broader starting point (so as not to start from scratch)
