Build profitable new product variants while reducing costs

Manage multiple product configurations

Two engineers test multiple industrial machine components with different configurations.

When a machine component manufacturer introduces multiple variants of the same product, managing and fully understanding the bill of materials (BOM) for each variant can quickly become overwhelming.

Different variants and configurations meet different needs. They also have different manufacturing processes and materials.

This alters costs, changes profitability and results in different levels of sustainability for a product.

Learn how companies can begin building for profit with integrated cost calculators in this informative ebook.

Understanding costs with digital twin product development

The digital twin is a 3D mockup of a part, component or piece of equipment.

Engineers use the digital twin to test materials, learn about energy use, and gain new insight from simulations. It's also used for a detailed BOM including costs.

This gives cost engineers the power to collaborate sooner, so projects can stay focused on profitable options.

Additionally, once a digital twin is created, it can easily be reconfigured to create different product configurations without starting from scratch.

Discover the benefits of digital twin in manufacturing

The digital twin of a product makes it easy to configure and reconfigure component data and part designs.

Customization is simplified, and scalability becomes effortless. Manufacturers can accept and complete more business without additional costs.
