Raw Material Sizing App – Quick App to help in Material Sizing.

Raw Material Sizing App

Benefits

  • Improves the fixture drawing quality
  • Speeds up the fixture design creation activity
  • Increases designer productivity
  • Simplifies QC process
  • Eliminates manual oversights
  • Avoids last minute surprises during assembly

Salient Features

  • Integration of a database of available raw material shapes and sizes 
  • Material optimization by orienting the part appropriately
  • Automatic calculation of raw material sizes for all parts to be  manufactured
  • Improved program architecture leading to improved automation
  • Important pre-requisite for BOM creation activities

Summary

In a BIW fixture design, defining the raw material sizes for all components is a painstaking, but important activity. Defining the right sized raw material will not only optimize the raw material cost, but also reduce the manufacturing times

This app requires a customer-specific database for various types of raw materials such as plates, tubes, angles etc., along with their material  specifications and available sizes in the market

This app has a tool that does the preparatory work of letting the user define the raw material type to be assigned for various components in a BIW fixture assembly

The main raw material sizing app then takes over the job of assigning the right sizes of the raw material, by orienting the raw material till it minimizes the raw material.

This task will be carried out for all the components, except the bought out or standard components.

The raw material sizes information will be attached to the components so that they can be automatically retrieved in the BOM tables.

This app also provides a HTML report that captures this report of raw materials assigned.

This will cut down significantly the time required by the designers to generate the BOM information
