Design world now largely dependent on 3D modeling but assembly planning remains dependent on 2D drawings and manual assembly sequence planning. Time consuming assembly planning process wholly dependent on expertise of the planner. Requirements not associated with assembly processes
Automated assembly/disassembly sequence determination by Teamcenter™ eM-Simulate software. Work instruction creation using Teamcenter™ Publisher.
Dramatic decrease in assembly process planning labor
High quality, digital work instructions that are a collection of data objects
Manage work instruction data elements, not documents
