Siemens NX Line Designer
Summary
Line Designer is a specific module for Siemens NX designer to create 3D layouts for facilities, using Teamcenter as the backbone to manage facility resources and keep control of revision and updates. Includes out-of-the-box objects and the full NX capabilities to create parametric design of new ones.
Product Overview
With Line Designer you can quickly design and visualize layouts of production lines and associate them to manufacturing planning. You can easily optimize the process, by specifying each production step, down to managing a single manufacturing resource, such as a robot or fixture. Perform accurate impact analysis and drive efficient change-management by using parametric resources. This complete solution for line design that is integrated with manufacturing planning is essential to defining optimized production processes. Siemens Line Designer is a top manufacturing design tool Engineering‘s expert team leverages for customers to improve their planning and production processes. Click here to learn more from Siemens.
Manufacturing Challenges Addressed
- Layout is not integrated with other business processes
- 3D Layout is part of new Industry 4.0 initiatives
- 2D Factory design and layout taking too much time
- 2D layout is insufficient to sell a concept to management and customers
- 3D software was not intended for facility layouts, layout software was not intended for 3D objects
