Saving Time
- Automation instead of manual processes:
Routings are generated directly from the CAD data – in a matter of seconds. - Fast change adaptation:
Changes to the CAD model are automatically transferred to the routing, speeding up iterations.
Minimize the burden of work preparation.
A routing outlines the technical and economic sequence for executing work processes in production. By automating the creation of routings, your employees can devote more time to complex tasks. Furthermore, work planning is standardized and documented. The routing can be integrated directly into ERP or MES systems, enabling optimal utilization in digital workflows.
What are the advantages of automatically generating routings?
Higher accuracy
- Avoidance of human error:
Automated processes minimize transmission and interpretation errors that can occur with manual input. No work step is forgotten. - Precise data integration:
Dimensions, tolerances and material data from the CAD model flow precisely into the routing.
Consistency and standardization
- Standardized processes:
Routings are always created according to the same rules, which leads to a consistent result. - Standardization of production instructions:
All departments receive standardized, clearly defined instructions.
Cost efficiency
- Reduced planning effort:
Employees can focus on more complex, value-adding tasks as less time is needed to create routings. - Less waste:
More accurate plans and data lead to fewer manufacturing errors and reduced costs due to rework.
Improved collaboration
- Better communication between departments:
Design and production work with the same data and clearly understand requirements. - Easy integration into digital workflows:
The routing can be integrated directly into ERP or MES systems, allowing information to flow seamlessly.
Support for Industry 4.0
- Database for digital twins:
Automated routings are a key component for the realization of digital twins. - A prerequisite for smart manufacturing:
Integration into networked, intelligent manufacturing systems is made much easier thanks to standardized data.
Generating production routings automatically – and beyond
classmate PLAN is a powerful tool that generates production routings automatically, but its capabilities extend beyond that.
To optimize the production process, classmate PLAN can be used to perform preliminary costing and work scheduling, providing valuable insights for efficient operations.
Creating routings with classmate PLAN – how it works in detail:
More than 250 companies trust in simus systems on their way to data excellence
“For around 80 percent of our components, simus classmate calculates the manufacturing costs in advance with a hit rate of 95 percent. The designers build up their own knowledge and achieve their cost targets better without our support.”
“The fact that all material master data can be found quickly simplifies and speeds up the various maintenance and repair tasks.”
“We are very taken with the solution’s versatility and see classmate PLAN as a centerpiece for our efforts to make the manufacturing process leaner, more flexible and more cost effective.”
Our simus classmate solution stands for data transparency and excellent data structure in the manufacturing industry.
We prepare your data in a flexible, efficient and systematic way for the best possible use in sophisticated digital processes. Surprise yourself with the potential of your data! We are happy to advise you on designing innovative and sustainable data processes.
