Upgrade for large assembly process planning system
Delmia has announced the launch of its Version 5 Release 5 of Delmia Digital Manufacturing Solutions, the process planning solution for large complex assemblies such as aircraft
The system also controls operation management, including work instructions and line balancing.
One of the key objectives is for Ergofab to control the process structure, enabling it to optimise a car's path through the various steps in the production process.
"Ergofab's attributes will allow us to save time and give us a more efficient method of handling all the process information and documentation, both prior to, and after, commencement of a model's manufacture.
It will also give us an up-to-date user interface with a concept that supports simultaneous engineering." explained Anders Gadd, Project Leader at Saab Automobile.
Since September 1999, Saab Automobile has been using Delmia's Ergoplan and Ergomas for process design in the Assembly Shop.
The decision to deploy Ergofab helps Saab move towards its overall strategy of working with digital manufacturing, and, in so doing, shortening lead-time in product and process development.
