Another SolidWorks function which increases efficiency is the support for ‘welded assemblies’. For this to be completely effective the supporting PLM system MUST also support this functionality. It is essential to be able to produce the relevant ‘cut-list’ for the production department. The bill of material must manage the changes in length of, essentially, the same item, keytech fully supports this.
By supporting fully the semi-finished parts functionality correctly structured bills of materials are maintained by utilizing item lengths. This ensures that when passed to an ERP system the cutting list is reproducible without effort.
- Support of welded assembly functionality
- Inheritance of master item relations to the structure parts
- ERP output creation and transfer of cut-lists
- Adoption of geometrical parameters into the keytech bill of material
- Complete reutilization functionality also for semi finished parts
- Complete imaging of the product structure
- Consistent mix of cut list and semi finished parts and definitive master items
