SDS Web Selector

Personalized Product Selection Tool

Enable your customers to adapt the components and properties of your product to a finished product which optimally meets their needs and requirements.  Logically map your components in an easy to user interface.  Integrate into your companies business systems to leverage the power to enrich the product life cycle process.  

Easy to use and implement allows your company to fully own the sales process.  SDS web selector is designed to leverage the complexity of engineered products by using Creo.

Key Features

• Integrate business Systems to selection results
• Lightweight
• Increased order accuracy with visualization
• Reduce Order Complexity with logical selection sequencing
• Nested Ordering Capability
• Verify Order Accuracy
• Specific User accounts with privileges

How It Works

• Ability to Personalize web selector to match company motifs
• Create user accounts to allowable product selection and record order history
• Send the resultant data strings to SmartDesignServer, which can be anywhere (even a different continent) to build CAD data
• User can select complex engineered order to orders including nested configurations
• The deliverables are sent to the client or to predefined locations
• The deliverables can be a quote, Creo Models or Drawings, PDF files, DXF files, NC Programs, shearing/cutting lists, BOM for ERP/pricing, 3D renderings, or any other Sales or Engineering information

Key Benefits

• Fast implementation timeline: no need for year-long development projects
• No complex server installation, portals or databases
• Open architecture allows for easily available talent for customization or for integration to existing infrastructure
• Ready for future growth and upgrades - XML-based environment protects your investment in SmartDesignServer
• Does not restrict the customization of the client UI

SmartAssembly for Creo

Rules Based Design Automation

SmartAssembly is a process capture tool made for designers. A Creo users can be trained to create automation applications in a simple easy to understand language. Most applications can be written in a few paragraphs

Key Features

• Automatic creation & configuration of new parts and sub-assemblies, then automatically assembling them
• Automatic assembly of newly created or existing parts or sub-assemblies
• Creation of part level features
• Support for part family tables and assembly level family tables 
• Dimensional information provided thru user input or automatically from the program 
• Automatic relations from analysis features when assembling a component 
• All components and features created still have full redefine or edit definition capability 
• When a component is removed, the associated relations are also removed
• Rich programming flexibility – loops, conditional statements, variables, etc.
• Manufacturing and Drawing Automation Support 
• Works with Pro/Intralink and PDMLink

How It Works

• Define required automation rules using features, standard components and assemblies, SmartAssembly programming, and the required GUI
• Work either in part mode to add features or at the assembly level to add features or components
• Define project templates and re-use the data –automatically copy, rename a top-level assembly and all drawings, parts, sub-assemblies, even manufacturing files are copied and associated to the new project
• Use the SmartAssembly GUI to speed up all design and manufacturing tasks

Key Benefits

• Standardization of assemblies and parts  New users can be productive in a fraction of the time
• Productivity improvements of 50-80% are commonly recognized
• Advanced users create designs faster allowing them to focus on the design process 
• Re-use company standard libraries – create automation programs from existing components in hours  UDF organization – eliminates common UDF problems such as UDF naming, gph file location, or required references
