Performance Counts – In Every Sense of the Word
Machinery production designers need to progress from their initial designs to finished factory systems. When standard MCAD tools cannot load a production line project without sending the engineer for a second breakfast, then your project’s progress will suffer. One or two seconds of delayed response from the design tool is enough to push the designer out of his mentally focused working zone. If the design tools aren’t responsive, productivity drops dramatically. When processes and workflows require extra steps, import, export, and data conversions, then performance falls.
Enormous Designs
Loading a single production station can kill standard 3D CAD programs. Production lines can easily contain 10s of thousands of parts which you need to load, edit, and analyze. A production facility design might have 100s of thousands of parts.
Delays in loading & saving drawings kills productivity. Unresponsive editing tools lowers productivity and raises frustration levels.
Multi-discipline
Machinery production design brings together mechanical engineers, control engineers, and electrical engineers. A multi-discipline project requires tools that work together smoothly and seamlessly. Integration of design workflows is important.
Imagine attempting to import a full production line into a 3rd-party cabling program. Clearly, integrating functions, which are typically external to standard MCAD design tools, makes engineers more efficient.
No Coffee Breaks
High-performance tools allow you to stay in the flow. But when standard MCAD tools cannot load a production line without requiring a coffee break, then your project team isn’t productive.
Small, annoying delays in responses from your design tool throw you out of your best mental working zone which, in turn, lowers your productivity. Snappy responsiveness smooths out your design work and allows you to stay focused.
