Digital planning software introduced for SMEs

Manufacturing process planning software is pre-configured for SMEs to quickly establish a digital planning environment, allowing collaboration during their process planning and detailing activities.

Dassault Systemes has announced the availability of DELMIA Process Engineer (DPE) Rapid, an 'out-of-the-box' manufacturing process planning solution targeted at the small and medium manufacturing enterprise.

DPE Rapid comes with updateable software that supports a standard process planning methodology, eliminating the need for customisation.

DPE Rapid offers an immediate solution for manufacturers, helping them to determine the necessary processes and resources - both human and equipment - required to bring a product to market.

DPE Rapid is a standardized configuration of the popular DELMIA Process Engineer process planning solution, with all the same planning and analysis features included.

It is specifically suited for companies in the consumer goods, electrical and electronics, and fabrication and assembly industries.

DPE Rapid provides a pre-configured solution for companies to quickly establish a digital planning environment, allowing collaboration during their process planning and detailing activities.

It is equipped with tools to share and establish libraries for capturing enterprise knowledge, facility layouts, manufacturing concepts, and cost analysis.

Through methodical structured planning, DPE Rapid provides early recognition of process risks, re-use of proven processes, traceable changes and decisions, and access to scattered production knowledge.

It can be used for areas ranging from product design concept to pre-planning and detail planning up through production as alternative design and manufacturing scenarios mature.

Functionality supports simultaneous engineering of production facilities during product design, whereby the manufacturing concept is viewed in 3D to assist in planning of workplaces and resources.

Cycle time estimation is provided as well as shift model planning, wage groups and data for production overtime.

DPE Rapid is also beneficial for use by project managers, who can establish project complete with parameters such as budget, production needs, available resources and more.

Additionally, DPE Rapid helps maximize investments by providing a collaborative environment for planners to share their data with other DELMIA V5 users to transfer knowledge and communicate the latest information as well as storing planning data for reuse.

Plans can be established either from 'scratch' or by using process libraries previously created by their users.

This further provides companies with the ability to capitalize on the latest DELMIA technologies and increase efficiency by using the right data at the right time throughout their organisation.
