Dear Mrs. or Mr.,

this issue of ID-News brings you again latest news from the field of „Innovation & Development“.

Furthermore we introduce you to our solution module "Modularization of product platforms“.

Modularization of product plattforms 

Modular product platforms help to master complexity in product development while keeping a high level of product variance. By combining of existing Modules from a modular library system new product variants can be configured quickly and cost efficiently. This reduces the expenses for product development, optimizes assembly times and minimizes time to market. Our METUS®-Method leads systematically in 7 steps through the conception of modular product platforms.

 

 

The powerful software solution METUS® supports this process through plausible visualizations, optimization algorithms and KPIs. Interfaces with PDM and ERP-Systems allow transferring of concepts from METUS® into the subsequent development process. » more...
