Boeing chooses quality assurance software
Tecnomatix Technologies announced that The Boeing Company has has adopted the Tecnomatix eMPower Quality Solution as one of its corporate standards for quality assurance.
They will be used for streamlining and standardising all manufacturing operations in PSA's powertrain division, which comprises several industrial sites.
This initial phase covers the eMPower Machining solution for process planning, definition and engine component CNC machining-line design, and the eMPower Assembly solution for process definition and optimisation of engine final assembly.
By standardising its machining and assembly work flow and processes, PSA Peugeot Citroen expects to achieve a reduction of investment needed for machine tools and equipment.
Benefits to PSA engineers and designers will flow from the implementation of best practices and knowledge bases in a much more effective and reliable way.
This will facilitate decision-making at all levels and will enable more accurate cost estimation of projects, at an earlier stage of development.
PSA Peugeot Citroen also expects to achieve a reduction in development and production ramp-up time through a higher interaction between design and manufacturing engineers.
"Until now, we were relying on a multitude of applications and software tools that were not well integrated and did not share a common database," said Mr.Jean-Jacques Urban-Galindo, Ingenum Director for PSA Peugeot Citroen.
"We looked very carefully at the offerings on the market, and after extensive evaluation, we came to the conclusion that the eMPower software suite from Tecnomatix was best at addressing our current needs for our Powertrain Machining and Assembly processes." .
