Design and Drawing Automation Services from EGS India
Companies are looking for ways and means of improving productivity, eliminating errors, putting knowledge to efficient re-use and reducing response time to customer requests. EGS India has been working with engineering industries in successfully automating their design and drawing generation efforts so that the design team can address real challenges in product design and development.
Real-world Situations:
- Customers want drawings for approval, to facilitate procurement
process. The drawing generation process for RFQ (Request For
Quote) is time consuming and may be un-productive, if the order does
not materialize. For repeated drawing generation process,
valuable time of design engineer is consumed in a function with less
value addition
- Knowledge has been painstakingly built in the design department. Such knowledge is available with few individuals and rarely gets to be re-used efficiently by the team. Re-use of knowledge is critical for the success of any organization
- Marketing and Sales departments want drawings of parts available in catalog to be provided, immediately on request, with no lead time. Such drawings, once approved by customers, should not be revised for errors or wrong data. If this facility can be web enabled and automated, it would facilitate faster turnaround time for RFQ and also provide customer with a higher level of satisfaction in terms of response time, professionalism and above all delivering error-free drawings.
- Designs are evolved based on standards such as ASME, EJMA, TEMA,
BS, API among others. Every time the design engineer enters
requisite design data in Microsoft Excel tables and gets sizing
parameters. The same is then provided to the draughtsman to
update the views, dimensions and Bill-of-Materials. Any error in
spreadsheet calculation or drawing results in re-work, rejections on
shopfloor, wrongful purchase of parts/ inventory management and above
all incalculable loss in terms of time, money and reputation.
Automation of the calculation and drawing generation exercise would
result in elimination of such errors and resulting losses.
