The P'X Industry Solution digitizes product configuration, technical calculation, costing and quotation processes across the typical domain boundaries of an industrial company. 3D models and information from CAD and PDM systems are transferred into clear component catalogs. Interactive configuration and installation planning, 3D visualization using augmented reality and concurrent calculation ensure that customer requirements are met perfectly. Data exchange with CRM and ERP systems facilitates the creation of quotations: current price and availability information, exchange rates, customer data and discount scales are used, as are previous projects. Lightweight configuration files from all over the world ensure fast and error-free order processing in design, production, assembly and commissioning.

Web frontend improves customer contact

Where personal consultation is difficult for reasons of space or time, a Consumer Communicator secures the business: the consultants provide their customers with configuration suggestions and associated documents in a project-related web front end. Customers access this via a web link and can view the project in 3D. The usual functions such as rotating and zooming are also available, as are marking and commenting. The viewer can choose between an installation environment or detailed views - quotation or parts list documents are also provided.

Entry into online business

A Web Configurator enables manufacturers to prepare a modular product portfolio for configuration on the World Wide Web using the same database. Pre-configured modules and industry-specific components increase user-friendliness and sales success. Interested parties group 3D-visualized modules and components in the installation space and achieve the desired result quickly and reliably. Using the project file, they can request individual quotations by e-mail, which the technical sales department processes seamlessly in the P`X Industry Solution.
