Accelerating Agricultural Machinery Design with Solid Edge
Solid Edge software enables manufacturers to respond rapidly to major trends that are impacting farming and agricultural machinery manufacturing.
Affordable, Professional Productivity Solutions
Agricultural machinery manufacturers are often small- and medium-sized organizations that do not typically have the large information technology resources that larger enterprises can apply to implementing and maintaining high-end software solutions. They need professional computer-aided design (CAD) and productivity solutions that are affordable, as well as easy to implement and maintain. Solid Edge provides solutions that help to:
Digitalize engineering processes. Digitalize your entire product development process and transform your business. Streamline engineering processes with 3D digital models. Add intelligence to 3D models throughout the product development lifecycle.
Speed mechanical design with 3D CAD. Use a history-free approach to 3D CAD with synchronous technology. Design complex parts and assemblies quickly and flexibly. Work directly with design geometry and make changes instantly.
Integrate electromechanical design efforts. Create fully functional and manufacturable designs using industry-proven wiring and harness design capabilities. Enable seamless ECAD-MCAD collaboration for electrical and mechanical engineers.
Meet customer and regulatory requirements. Manage customer and regulatory requirements using requirements management. Make requirements easily visible to design engineers, and track fulfillment of these requirements.
Enable paperless 3D documentation. Communicate more effectively and reduce manufacturing costs using annotated 3D models rather than 2D drawings with model-based definition. Spend less time on documentation.
Validate and improve product performance. Validate and improve performance of products with scalable simulation tools that use virtual prototyping and new integrated motion and vibration simulation. Communicate your digital design documentation globally with XLIFF language translation.
Simplify data re-use and migration. Simplify re-use and migration of 3D models and 2D drawings from other CAD solutions. Maintain 3D model intelligence and 2D drawing associativity.
For agricultural machinery manufacturers who both design standard products that are available in many configurations as well as engineer-to-order, accelerated design means delivering your new products on time, meeting your customers’ needs and increasing your cash flow and profitability.
Speed design processes using a digital twin
Creating a digital model of “digital twin” of your products enables agricultural machinery manufacturers to make design changes faster and deliver products sooner. Users can make changes to a design, validate those changes and assemble new solutions with a minimum of time and effort. Solid Edge provides an efficient, integrated digital 3D product development platform that enables you to perform virtual testing to minimize manufacturing issues, reduce costs, and ensure the durability and superior performance of equipment in harsh environments.
