Enterprise inSight - Product Engineering Configuration The Product Engineering Configuration is the centerpiece of Enterprise inSight, generating information relevant to all other modules. inSight supports multiple engineering tools including ShopWare CAD, IMOS CAD, ShopWare Product Planner, and the Bill of Materials configurator. Unlike most engineering software, the engineering configurator can be invoked directly from sales, through order entry functions, and can configure standard, semi-custom, and custom products dynamically.
Enterprise inSight Product Engineering Configuration Features:
Mass Customization
• Product configuration using features and options
• Visualization of engineered product during order entry
• High-volume processing of customized products
• Standard costing for custom productsgroups of multiple operations that can be shared and reused across many parts.
Common operations such as line bores, toe notch and multiple pass rout dados are easily handled.
CNC Machine Integration
• Dynamic CNC program creation and distribution
• Mixed manufacturing methods such as panel saw optimization and Nesting
• Human-machine interfaces
• Multiple geometry input formats such as DXF, NCL,and FXM
Integrated workflow for specials
• Workflow management tools
• One-time engineered products
• VRML and drawing output for customer sign-off
• Integration of specials into standard business process
Auto-creation of BOM, routings, and costing data
• Indented multi-level BOM creation
• Rule-based make or buy decisions
• Configurable routings and operations
• Standard labor and material cost calculation with fixed and variable overheadsand
