From Components to Complete Systems: Rethinking Heavy Equipment Design

Heavy equipment manufacturers are facing increasing complexity as automation, connectivity, electrification, customization and servitization reshape product development. As products become more software-driven and involve more components, disciplines and stakeholders, traditional development approaches can make it harder to manage interfaces, validate designs and maintain a common view of the overall system.

‍

This e-book explores how a system-of-systems design approach can help organizations create modular, full-system simulation models while maintaining a connected product definition across different levels of the system. This enables stakeholders to optimize and validate designs while considering the broader equipment environment.

What's inside

Master multidisciplinary complexity: Bring mechanical, electrical, electronics and software development together to model the full equipment system.

Connect the entire system: Build modular, full-system simulation models that connect subassemblies, interfaces and their surrounding environment.

Optimize and validate earlier: Keep system levels connected so stakeholders can make informed decisions and continuously verify and validate designs.

Reuse engineering models and data: Feed information captured throughout the product lifecycle back into future designs to improve products with less time and fewer resources.

Collaborate at scale: Connect stakeholders, requirements, configurations and engineering data across the equipment development program.
