OPTIMAL PROCESS RELIABILITY

Optimal process reliability thanks to our DFM solutions

When manufacturing quality products, you can rely on our cost efficiency and maximum process reliability. EDAG Production Solutions is your strong partner in the field of production-oriented design (Design for Manufacturing, DFM) and the virtual safeguarding of production processes. The basis for optimum process reliability is laid in the earliest phases, when we analyze the feasibility and production costs of your product. We act as an interface between product development and production to ensure that the product is designed for manufacturing. Our concepts show how your product must look in order to be efficiently implemented.

EDAG Production Solutions stands for digital product validation using simulation-based feasibility studies. In the Industrial Metaverse, we link your product data with production data in the very early phases. This means that the influences of different product variants and production alternatives can be identified very quickly and visualized for reliable decision-making and production-oriented product design.

Topic overview


Economic added value through simulation-driven production and product development

We have developed a structured method that enables us to provide you with economic added value through production-oriented product planning, DFM and product influence. Our portfolio includes measures in all phases of product and production development, including reviews of existing products and processes. We check and document the manufacturability of your goods using a DPA check and simulations. Detailed process documentation is essential for quality management. You will also learn how mature the respective technology is. As an established engineering service provider with over 50 years of experience in the field of industrialization, we use references from a wide range of industries to precisely manage complexity.

The main focus is also on product costs. A detailed evaluation of these costs makes a significant contribution to competitiveness.
 

We provide virtual validation of production processes

  1. Analysis
    We analyze your initial situation and the requirements for products, production and economic efficiency.
  2. Concept development
    As part of production-oriented product planning, we develop concepts for optimizing products and processes in all development phases, right up to circular economy. This includes a comprehensive evaluation of investments and component costs to ensure profitability.
  3. System development and validation
    We define materials and products and check the manufacturing processes using simulations or process validation in trials. This ensures manufacturability and high quality in production.
  4. Result
    We take on complete project responsibility and, after extensive testing, ensure optimal commissioning and long-term operational excellence of your processes, as well as digital collaboration at all levels.

Your advantages: optimal process reliability through DFM

  • Shorter decision-making paths through a structured approach: DFM relies on a systematic and structured approach to product development that takes all relevant manufacturing aspects into account as early as the design phase. Clear standards and defined processes enable decisions to be made more quickly and on the basis of sound data.
  • Economic added value for the overall project: A design for manufacturing not only optimizes the manufacturing costs, but also ensures high-quality products and efficient production. Operational risks are reduced through process validation, while projects are realized in less time and with fewer resources.
  • Lower product costs: DFM leads to a reduction in product costs by simplifying manufacturing and designing in the most cost-effective way. By reducing assembly complexity, optimizing the selection of materials and reducing unnecessary production steps, expenses can be significantly reduced.
  • Documented and verifiable results: Optimizing process reliability in manufacturing through DFM makes it possible to define, monitor and control targets and results using clear key performance indicators (KPIs). This provides you with transparency regarding progress and success.
