Iced*CAD, the multiple-award-winning software product for manufacturers that allows their customers and distributors to instantly configure complex assemblies, now has a QuickStart Programme.
The programme, which will be offered to seven "best fit" companies, provides comprehensive analysis and real-time functional testing of the Iced*CAD software using the manufacturers' own product data and configuration process.
Iced*CAD introduced its patent-pending software in 2003.
The technology has already won the "Show Stopper" award at the National Design and Engineering Show and the CADwire.net "Innovator" award presented at COFES2003.
It changes the competitive landscape for manufacturers with complex engineered assemblies.
Iced*CAD customer Sun Hydraulics, for example, is a manufacturer of hydraulic valve systems with millions of potential configurations to meet its customers' needs.
Iced*CAD permits Sun's salespeople, distributors, and customers configure their own engineered solutions and then automatically generate the information needed for product assembly and support.
Savings are generated at every level from proposal generation to the factory floor and field support.
More importantly, the software helps companies with custom-designed assemblies increase revenues and market share.
"Iced*CAD technology has now reached a level where relatively little custom development is needed for companies that already have implemented CAD and MRP systems", said Tom Kelly, President, QSSolutions - Engineered Systems Group.
"Iced*CAD can use this existing information to generate a new level of profit and customer response".
The QuickStart programme is a cost-effective and swift solution for manufacturers who wish to test this pioneering technology with minimal risk.
It also includes any necessary conversion of CAD data (from 2D to 3D).
Results are known within 6 weeks of installation.
This time allows the manufacturer to begin testing the process both internally and externally, prove the concept within the organisation, and to build metrics for ROI calculations.
QuickStart enables companies to prove the benefits of creating 3D assemblies "on-the-fly" without requiring a designer or engineer to recreate the data for each order.
Iced*CAD immediately and dynamically creates the correct 3D assembly, 2D cross-sections, complex pricing, and related manufacturing information which is then delivered to the customer, shop floor, supplier or interested party via web browser.
The Iced*CAD technology has the highest paybacks for manufacturers who offer their customers several thousand or more potential product configurations.
