Manitou relies on OneSpace Modeling's Dynamic Modeling approach to 3D product development to help engineers flexibly change models as new ideas arise.
"We use the Dynamic Modeling based approach to streamline our collaboration with development partners", said Christian Herrmann, Manitou's IT Director.
"For example, our team imports partner's CAD models for diesel engines right into OneSpace Modeling, where we can easily fit fixture geometry to our current requirements".
Manitou has also streamlined development with CoCreate's online collaboration software.
Manitou saves with CoCreate OneSpace.net as its teams collaborate on projects with external partners.
OneSpace.net cuts business travel and results in fewer communication mishaps.
Manitou recently replaced its customised PDM environment with CoCreate OneSpace Model Manager.
This standard solution integrates tightly with OneSpace Modeling and offers impressive performance when working with large assemblies.
"OneSpace Model Manager is easy to implement and easy to use", said Herrmann.
"So much so, that our engineering departments at Manitou will adopt it".
"OneSpace Model Manager will be deployed in France this year".
Manitou plans to further streamline product development and lifecycle management by integrating OneSpace Model Manager into its ERP system.
That way, the company can exchange technical data when transitioning from development to manufacturing.
