Getting products to market faster is key to maintaining competitive advantage. When manufacturing heavy equipment and vehicles, the complexity of the integration of systems as well as variable line loading leads to challenges both planning assembly and creating the standard operating procedures and other documentation required by the line personnel. Axiscades has works with a number of large equipment manufacturers all over the world and has experience in modeling the plant and the workload in a virtual environment allowing planning to occur concurrently with the design process, reducing time to market.
