PROVEN TECHNOLOGY

Some people still believe there are limitations to Automation. SIGMAXIM has proven if you can build it in Creo, SIGMAXIM can Automate it in Creo.

Process Automation makes the development of complex products efficient and error-free, while ensuring that “your Engineering Rules” are followed. SIGMAXIM built its automation process systems with an agile approach. Project plans can include definition of rules, data preparation, design automation to manufacturing automation. SIGMAXIM can deliver turnkey implementations, partner with clients to build automation or customers can be trained and complete projects themselves.

  • DEFINITION OF RULES

    Typically, companies are too close to their products to define the rules of their design process. At SIGMAXIM, our engineers partner with companies to architect automation rules by reviewing the important design processes to define methodologies and embed them in Creo (Pro/ENGINEER).

    RULES PERFECT™ modular approach allows companies to quickly change or add rules as needed during the automation process. This flexibility allows for companies to scale up in complexity as they fully define their design process.

  • AUTOMATING YOUR WAYS TO AUTOMATION

    RULES PERFECT™ allows clients to use automation to prepare and validate data for automation.  Many companies struggle at the thought of automation because of inconsistency or variations of legacy data.  Preparing data and rules validation should never be a roadblock for automation.

    RULES PERFECT™ uses a smart approach to automation.  Allowing users to define how they would like to check data.  Data inconsistency can be flagged or automatically change it as needed. 

  • CREO AUTOMATION FOR MANUFACTURING

    Manufacturing processes like design processes are rules based.  Extending the capabilities of automation to manufacturing helps companies increase productivity and efficiency.RULES PERFECT™ uses a smart approach to automation.  Allowing users to define how they would like to check data.  Data inconsistency can be flagged or automatically change it as needed.

HOW WE WORK

You are the product experts. We are the automation experts.

Every company has its own way of designing products. At SIGMAXIM, we don't replace that expertise—we help you leverage it.

Together, we transform your engineering knowledge into powerful Creo automation that improves efficiency, consistency, and scalability across your organization.

It Starts With a Demo

Every project begins with a live demonstration of SIGMAXIM technology.

We'll discuss your products, processes, and goals while showing how automation can be applied within the Creo environment. The demo helps identify opportunities and determine if SIGMAXIM is the right fit for your organization.

Understanding Your Process

If there's a potential fit, we schedule a reverse screen share session.

Your engineers walk us through the current design process while we identify repetitive tasks, bottlenecks, and opportunities for automation. This is where we begin uncovering the product rules and engineering knowledge that drive your designs.

Working Together as Partners

Successful automation requires two kinds of expertise.

Your team understands the product, design intent, and engineering requirements. Our team understands Creo automation and how to transform engineering knowledge into repeatable, software-driven processes.

That's why every project is a partnership. We work closely with your engineers throughout development to ensure the solution reflects how your company actually designs products.

RulesPerfect™ Methodology

At the heart of every project is SIGMAXIM's RulesPerfect™ methodology.

We capture and organize your design rules, standards, best practices, calculations, and decision-making processes, transforming them into automated workflows that execute consistently within the Creo environment.

The result is automation that reflects your products, your standards, and your way of working.

Turning Knowledge Into Automation

Once requirements are defined, SIGMAXIM develops automation tailored to your products and processes.

Whether generating 3D models, drawings, BOMs, manufacturing data, or complete engineering deliverables, the goal is the same: eliminate repetitive engineering work while ensuring designs are created according to your standards.

Using our Building Block approach, customers can start with a focused project and expand automation over time, reducing risk while creating a foundation for future growth.

Start Small. Scale When You're Ready.

Many customers begin with a single product family or engineering challenge to quickly demonstrate value and achieve measurable ROI.

Once proven, automation can expand across additional products, departments, and workflows. Because SIGMAXIM solutions are built around your rules and processes, they scale alongside your business.

A Long-Term Partnership

Our relationship doesn't end when the first project is complete.

As your products evolve and new opportunities emerge, SIGMAXIM continues to support and expand your automation investment. Applications are updated for future Creo releases, helping protect your investment and deliver long-term value.

OUR METHODOLOGY: Rules-Perfect™

Transforming Knowledge into Automation

Successful automation requires more than software. It requires a structured way to capture the engineering knowledge, design intent, standards, and business processes that make your products unique.

Rules-Perfect™ is SIGMAXIM's proprietary methodology, refined through more than two decades of Creo automation experience. It provides a proven framework for transforming product knowledge into intelligent automation that delivers accurate, repeatable results.

A Collaborative Approach

The most successful automation projects combine product expertise with automation expertise.

Our Automation Specialists work closely with your Product Experts to identify, document, and capture the knowledge that drives your products and processes. Together, we map the engineering, sales, manufacturing, and business logic that governs your designs.

This collaborative process ensures the resulting automation reflects the way your organization actually works.

A Building-Block Methodology

At the core of Rules-Perfect™ is a modular building-block approach.

Rather than creating rigid, one-off solutions, product knowledge is organized into reusable automation components that can be combined, expanded, and maintained as your products evolve. This structured approach makes it possible to automate everything from simple product families to highly complex Configure-to-Order (CTO) and Engineer-to-Order (ETO) environments.

The result is automation that is scalable, maintainable, and built for long-term success.

Preserving Your Expertise

Many organizations rely on tribal knowledge—critical product expertise that exists only in the minds of experienced employees.

Rules-Perfect™ helps capture and institutionalize that knowledge by embedding engineering standards, best practices, and proven processes directly into the automation. This ensures valuable expertise is preserved, consistency is maintained, and product quality remains high regardless of who is creating the design.

Built Around Your Existing Processes

Automation should adapt to your business—not the other way around.

Rules-Perfect™ is designed to work within your existing design and engineering workflows. Rather than forcing organizations to change how they develop products, the methodology captures and automates the processes that already make them successful.

This approach helps streamline implementation while maximizing user adoption and long-term value.

Driving Measurable Results

By combining a proven methodology with powerful automation technology, Rules-Perfect™ helps organizations:

  • Reduce engineering effort and repetitive tasks
  • Minimize design errors and rework
  • Increase consistency and standardization
  • Accelerate design-through-manufacturing workflows
  • Capture and preserve valuable engineering knowledge
  • Scale product development without increasing engineering resources
  • Support initiatives such as standardization, DFMA, CTO, and ETO

Whether your goal is increased throughput, improved quality, digital transformation, or enterprise-wide engineering efficiency, Rules-Perfect™ provides the foundation for successful automation.
