Clear classification simplifies design

Our software analyzes 3D models without additional effort for the designer and automatically assigns them to an individually defined class system. All relevant information is automatically extracted and stored: geometry information as well as file information. Of course, secure synchronization with ERP systems such as SAP is also integrated into the classification software.

Automated classification results in a more efficient production environment

As a result, component information is always complete, accurate, and up-to-date in all systems. This high quality database allows complex processes and projects to be set up efficiently and decisions to be made on a solid basis. A best-practice set of rules for mechanical and plant engineering already covers a large part of the classification tasks as standard and is supplemented individually. Your data will be classified, tagged and geometrically indexed in no time at all.

What are the advantages of automatic classification of CAD models?

Saving time

  • Faster search and reuse:
    Automatic classification makes it easier to find existing CAD models, which speeds up the reuse and modification of existing designs.
  • Reduction of manual work:
    Manual classification is time-consuming. Automation saves valuable resources.
  • Time-to-market:
    An optimized data structure supports fast time-to-market.

Cost reduction

  • Avoidance of duplicates:
    Automatic classification allows duplicate models to be identified and avoided, reducing manufacturing, storage and administration costs.
  • More efficient use of materials:
    Optimized classification leads to better planning and material selection, which reduces waste and cuts costs.

Improved data quality and consistency

  • Standardization:
    Automatic classification systems use consistent criteria and standards, which improves the quality of the data.
  • Reduction of errors:
    Automation minimizes human error, which increases the reliability of the data.

Optimization of production processes

  • More efficient production planning:
    Precise classification of CAD models enables better planning and control of production processes.
  • Improved supply chain:
    The clearer classification and documentation of models can improve communication and coordination with suppliers.

Supports innovations

  • Faster prototyping:
    Easy retrieval and reuse of CAD models accelerate the development process.
  • Support for variant diversity:
    Automated classification enables better management and analysis of different variants of a product.

Improved compliance and traceability

  • Traceability:
    Automatic classification ensures precise documentation and traceability of design data
  • Data analysis:
    Automatically classified data can be analyzed more easily to identify trends and optimization potential.
