The programs are designed to help manufacturers plan, design, and manage entire manufacturing processes from preplanning through ramp-up. Planners can use resources and human models from the BIW libraries to plan and evaluate different concepts.
Engineers then use the best concept to design detailed production lines and work cells.
Tecnomatix's Final Assembly manages the entire final assembly process. Using its 3-D design tools, motion time measurement libraries, kinematic human models, and simulation tools, engineers can define and simulate human tasks while considering worker comfort and productivity. Final Assembly helps to optimize detailed assembly systems in manual, hybrid, and automated lines, and complete plants. This program meets the needs of the automotive and heavy equipment industries, characterized by long flow lines. Tecnomatix's General Assembly program, which is intended for electronics and component manufacturers, enables engineers to optimize throughput, balance lines, plan logistics, and estimate costs, taking into account different product variants and production volumes.
