Technical configurator
The customer, sitting on the sofa, configures the product they need from their smartphone. In the company, the object is immediately created in CAD, bills of materials are generated, and production starts automatically.
With SolidRules, this is not science fiction, but almost a boring everyday reality.
Realize your customers dreams
Design, product configuration, industrial automation and much more.
It is the SolidRules proposal oriented to product configuration, sales and after-sales processes, product configuration, industrial automation, quality certification.
It is the ideal proposal both for those who have to configure existing bricks (ATO configuration - Assembly to Order) but almost for those who must parameterize or design something not yet realized (ETO configuration - Engineering to Order).
With SolidRules Configurator it becomes easy to automate the return on 3D and 2D CAD to turn the needs of your customers into reality for a Design Automation experience that does not stop at the appearance but goes to the substance.
Input quotation, CAD project output!
Technically configure both standard and special products with SolidRules Configurator.
The commercial input enters the Engineering Department and is processed through an automated workflow that handles parametrization, assembly, coding, and archiving directly within your 3D and 2D CAD.
The quotation request reaches your team already complete with all the necessary information to be processed quickly, via either web or desktop mode.
Give your customer the ability to see a real preview of what they are about to request, in record time. And if the object they are requesting already exists, the system knows it and prevents you from redesigning it.
Tool box for everyone
The SolidRules Configurator equips the sales team with a tool to create precise quotations, including bills of materials, routings, 3D and 2D geometries, previews, and animations. It eliminates the traditional gap between sales requirements and those of the Engineering Department.
It works both when the salesperson is always connected and when working in offline mode. For a seamless quotation and customer management experience!
Does it read into the technician's mind?
No, SolidRules doesn’t have supernatural powers, but it provides the Engineering Department with a tool capable of applying “knowledge” to maximize reuse, minimize errors, and reduce wasted time.
It also enables guided parametrization, assembly, and drawing creation.
From CAD, the Engineering Department can extract all the necessary information to estimate in advance the production costs of a new product.
When a request includes special parts, SolidRules helps you create or identify the object closest to the requirement. The designer can then complete it by interpreting the customer’s needs.
At that point, the workflow starts again and you significantly reduce design time.
Who is made for
SolidRules Configurator was created keeping in mind the needs and the work done in the companies of the Mechanical manufacturing, packaging, and plant engineering. sectors, but not only! We at SolidRules love challenges, we are available for anyone with seemingly complex problems, and are looking for an out-of-the-box solution.
- Request economic quotations for both standard and special products
- Create accurate offers, bills, animations
- Show the customer the 2D and 3D preview of what they want to achieve
- Process your order quickly and quickly
- Minimize errors and time wasted in project implementation
- Estimate production costs in advance
- Recreate the desired object on 2D and 3D CAD for standard, configurable or special products.
Integrations
The advantages of choosing SolidRules Configurator as a product configurator are not decreed "only" by power, flexibility and simplicity but also by unique levels of integration with best-in-class products
such as Solid Edge, solidworks, Inventor, I create Parametric, Office, Teamcenter, JT, Linkersys, Subversion, .... Obviously the power comes from the integration with the ecosistama SolidRules that with Incentro and Desk offers everything you could want.
Frequently asked questions
-
1. What is a Technical Product Configurator?
A Technical Product Configurator is a *solution+ that automatically defines complex products based on engineering rules and design constraints. It ensures that every configuration is technically valid, consistent, and manufacturable. It often generates the Bill of Materials (BOM) automatically, which is why it is also referred to as a BOM Configurator. Its primary output is a complete and accurate BOM ready for production or management within PDM and ERP systems. It is specifically designed to support engineering and R&D teams.
-
2. What is the difference between a technical configurator and a sales configurator?
A technical configurator operates using engineering logic, CAD rules, and manufacturing constraints, while a sales configurator focuses on sales processes and quotation generation. The technical configurator ensures product accuracy and feasibility, whereas the sales configurator prioritizes speed and efficiency in creating customer proposals.
-
3. What benefits does it provide to the engineering department?
A Technical Product Configurator reduces repetitive design activities and minimizes configuration errors. Engineering teams can standardize solutions, automate the generation of product variants, and focus on higher-value activities such as innovation and product development. It also improves collaboration between engineering, production, and sales departments.
-
4. Can the Technical Product Configurator integrate with CAD and PDM/PLM systems?
Yes. The configurator can be integrated with CAD and PDM/PLM systems to automatically generate product models, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and technical documentation. This ensures consistency and traceability across design, configuration, and manufacturing processes.
-
5. Is it suitable for highly complex and customized products?
Yes. The system is specifically designed to manage products with high variability and significant technical complexity. Configuration rules ensure that every possible combination is technically valid and manufacturable, even when dealing with numerous product variants and complex engineering constraints.
