The goal of any product manufacturer is to launch the product in the market ahead of its competitors. However, advances in almost every technology are making products more complex than ever before, requiring involved and potentially time-consuming product development cycles and specialist expertise in many fields.
L&T Technology Services expertise in various industrial domains and use of CAD technologies enables it to offer a unique advantage to product manufacturers to benefit from tailor-made solutions for automating design procedures.
Key Applications of Design Automation
- Creating knowledge based design templates for faster conceptual/detailed design generation
- Embedding design constraints into the design procedure
- Controlling various product variations based on the end-customer needs (E.g. Size, Product rating, Accessories, Working Medium, etc)
- Creating Customized menus/commands/utilities for specific design requirements
- Automating execution of repetitive tasks to reduce monotony and prevent errors
- Automating conversion of customer's web enquiry with product specifications into 3D Models and 2D Drawings
Benefits to our Clients
- Reduced product development cycle time enabling shorter Time-to-market
- Long term reduction in design cost
- Reduced effort on product development
- Accurate, reliable & error-free design
Services
Application Development
L&T Technology Services develop customized tools, commands and applications on existing CAD software that enhance the functionality or create a new functionality for specific design requirements. These applications are created as add-ons, in the existing workbench or a newly dedicated workbench is created for the required application. The following tasks are involved:
- Understanding user requirements
- Converting user requirements to software specifications
- Application and algorithm design
- Module development and testing
- Module integration and testing
- Implementation and maintenance
Application Migration
L&T Technology Services help our clients in migrating the formerly developed applications from one CAD platform to another. The new applications may be re-engineered to suit the architecture of the new CAD platform and function optimally. Apart from retaining the functionalities of earlier applications, we also enhance the capabilities of these applications during the re-engineering phase. The following tasks are involved:
- Source Audit/ decoding the existing code
- Algorithm and Application design
- Porting to new application architecture
- Testing and packaging
- Implementation
- Maintenance
Consultancy
L&T Technology Services can also assist clients in design automation endeavors by lending its expertise for
- Trouble shooting
- Consulting in various development areas
- Standard Module development
- Testing and Debugging
- Application Integration
Application Maintenance
L&T Technology Services is an obvious choice for providing and maintaining suite of applications at the quickest response time possible. This is achieved at minimum cost by designing an optimal onsite-offshore working model. Separate workspace and IT security measures address confidentiality and secrecy issues. The task involves following phases:
- Start-up phase
- Transition phase
- Maintenance phase
