Once the virtual factory is configured, you will have a unique and unparalleled system for calculating the real manufacturing costs of a product. PCBA assembly, Cable Harnessing, Box Build and System Build calculations are all capabilities of the PCA module
-
The comfort and precision of production definition and choice of manufacturing and test flow makes the costing process with the Costing Engine a matter of a few minutes
-
Assembly times for manually placed components can be stored in PACE and re-used in other jobs. Manual assembly times can be continually refined through post calculation or MES feedback
-
The number of expensive production calamities, caused by unforeseen mismatches of products, components or processes, is reduced to virtually zero, thanks to the built-in real-time checks for technological mismatches and conflicts
-
The virtual factory and costing engine are also great tools for running what-if cost analyses before large investments are made
-
The built-in structured roadmap for systematic quote creation works equally for experienced and less experienced operators. All costs are considered and no cost aspect is forgotten. It's also a great help in training new operators
-
The calculated results are reported in summary, in detail and in drill-down mode. They offer an accurate and clear overview of the times and cost parameters involved in the creation of the calculation
