Manufacturing Automation for Heavy Equipment
Sell more equipment. Build it faster.
The challenge
Manual processes dispersed throughout your operations are creating errors and inefficiencies
You want to streamline and connect your customers, sales, and engineering teams to the shop floor in an automated end-to-end process that begins with the customer, directly at the point of purchase, and ends with the finished equipment.
But sales reps are frequently submitting machine configurations that are optimized poorly from an engineering and profit-making standpoint. And engineers are bogged down with requests and rework that slow down sales cycles and restrict innovation.
The solution
Eliminate bottlenecks and supercharge heavy equipment manufacturing efficiency through automation
Once the configuration of a piece of heavy equipment has been finalized with the customer, the sales rep can automatically generate all of the documents required to initiate manufacturing. Technical drawings, CAD files, CNC cut sheets, bill of materials, and product renderings are all created without any input from engineering.
KBMax captures the engineering rules that govern your complex machinery’s production to ensure that only valid equipment configurations make their way through sales and engineering to the production team. You can eliminate the time-wasting back-and-forth that causes deal-threatening delays. Sales feels confident that their requested equipment will be built to customers’ exact specifications, and customers always get what they want, on time.
