Services

Digitization of physical catalogues, developing smart light weight 3D models that are configurable by the end user and finally a user friendly, intuitive front end user interface.

Project Background

The client had physical catalogues of their product lines and wanted to augment sales leveraging the demand for light weight configurable 3D models and drawings. The other challenge was on standardizing some of their product lines across a recently acquired brand.

Our Scope

Part Standardization
Study part catalogues of both the brands and identify opportunities for standardizing accessories.
Create User Interface
Identify the configurable elements in the catalogue and generate a UI for gathering the inputs from the end-user.
Parts Catalogue
Develop light and smart 3D models with the ability to configure the models using design tables and logic programming. Link tables and UI to generate configurable parts and drawings. Provide link to translators to download 3D models and drawings in the format desired by the end-user from the client’s website.

Our Solution

Our team of senior engineers with sound domain knowledge in using pneumatic cylinders initiated the study of the part catalogues of both the brands. APPSistem identified 14 opportunities to standardizing the add-on accessories of the pneumatic cylinders like mounting brackets, rod eyes, rod clevis and others.

All parts, assemblies were modeled as light weight smart models driven by design tables and logical programming.

APPSistem created a UI to gather the configurable inputs and link them to the smart models.
