Process Designer

Product Overview

It takes different engineering departments a lot of time, energy and discussions to plan an assembly line or station. With Process Designer manufacturers can plan full assembly operations collaboratively in a 3D environment, and complete the task effectively and in a timely manner.

Process Designer allows its users to work on many alternative scenarios before choosing the best process to meet requirements. With its intuitive and configurable user interface, users can plan the assembly sequence, select the tools needed, and create the layout of the plant, line or station. Furthermore, all active and passive resources can be visualized, and effective line balancing can be achieved by assigning processes to stations or workers using optimal methods.

Process Designer also helps in the creation of the kinds of customized reports that allow companies to make the best decisions more quickly regarding their specific assembly lines or stations. Users can also use Process Designer to generate and distribute a variety of documentations over the web, including work instructions, bills of materials, and management reviews.
