Market gap in system configuration
Computer Aided Planning (CAP): Turnkey plants are often planned by several teams using CAD, CAE, ECAD and ERP systems: The lack of coherence makes coordination difficult, triggers many change loops and extends project times. The specialists' planning capacity is limited. Despite high demand and available components, the planning process slows down the growth of many manufacturers. These companies are urgently looking for a software environment for the efficient development of modular systems, for example in the areas of painting, finishing, assembly or logistics.
Computer Aided Planning & Engineering
Now the good news: Computer Aided Planning (CAP) from Perspectix can be used to configure large and complex systems, such as distribution centers, filling stations or car washes, from parameterized catalog elements. This saves companies up to 50 percent of the planning effort. Once the system has been implemented, links to the original CAD models ensure further synergy effects. That's what we call automatic system configuration!
Configuration in the hall environment
With Computer Aided Planning (CAP), complex systems can be configured in hall-sized dimensions. In the context of 3D building data, collision-free systems can be created on any number of floors, positions or levels. The system components can be provided with over 100 parameters and links. They are then placed in the imported hall environment in IFC Building Information Modeling (BIM) format using drag and drop.
Parametric system configuration
Integration of machines, lines, piping
Functional units can be linked associatively and checked when changes are made. When planning in one building section, users recognize all effects on other areas. External objects such as machines and packaging machines, carton presses or palletizers can be integrated as required. All connections and lines are taken into account.
System planning by multifunctional teams
To speed up development, up to 100 employees can edit a system. The objects and areas of a system configuration can be locked or released for editing as required. This makes it easy for large teams to work together on a model.
Catalogs with 3D components
Like the product configuration, the system configuration of the P'X Industry Solution is also based on catalogs that are developed together with the customer from CAD models. Product logic and parametrics are mapped in sets of rules that guarantee fast and error-free product variants.
Comprehensive documentation
All documents such as quotations, parts lists, 3D illustrations, assembly and installation instructions can be customized and output automatically. As a result, the entire process from recording requirements, configuration, pricing and quotation preparation to automated variant design, installation planning and spare parts management is digitized.
Computer Aided Planning: Our customers achieve these benefits
Faster configuration of customer-specific systems in distributed teams
Less planning effort thanks to parametric system configuration
Lower error rate than in conventional processes
Fewer queries and uncertainties thanks to 3D representations and plans
Less design effort during implementation
System configuration: What our users report
CAP&E: Five key advantages of parametric system configuration
For many plant manufacturers, it is not production but planning, design and coordination that is the real bottleneck in the company's performance. Find out here what innovation leaders are doing differently: Computer Aided Planning & Engineering (CAP&E) of industrial plants with the P'X Industry Solution from Perspectix opens up enormous efficiency gains. Read here how distributed teams create virtual plants from parameterized components in large halls.
How manufacturers (should) adapt to BIM
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
is changing traditional working methods and posing complex challenges. But in the digital transformation, the method is gaining acceptance among architects, planners, contractors and developers.
TGW Logistics case study
TGW Logistics GmbH, based in Marchtrenk (Austria), is rolling out the P'X Industry Solution from Perspectix AG in Zurich at all its locations worldwide. Around 200 employees in Central Europe are already working with the solution for Computer Aided Planning & Engineering (CAP&E). Efficiency increases of 25 to 30 percent have been achieved.
Digitalization means seamless integration
System configuration: The close integration of the P'X Industry Solution with ERP, CAD, PLM and CRM limits the effort and increases the benefits for the company. This is why Perspectix relies on global standards, open architecture and individual interfaces.
