ENTERPRISE ENGINEERING AUTOMATION

Companies with complex, engineer-to-order products that require engineering input can benefit from engineering automation. They have an opportunity to transform the way they do business by automating a large part of their sales and order engineering processes, offering dramatic benefits unreachable by other means.

• Do your engineer-to-order products require too much engineering to sell and deliver? 

• Does engineering kill your margins? 

• Have you encountered constraints from your current CPQ (configure-price-quote) strategy? 

• Do you want to move beyond CPQ with EPQ (engineer-price-quote)?

If so, you can benefit from enterprise engineering automation.

Engineering automation captures and automatically applies the repetitive drudgery, the rote calculations, the countless iterations of tweaking a configuration needed to meet customer requirements. It incorporates your corporate tribal engineering knowledge including rules-of-thumb and engineering guidelines.

Companies that provide complex products or services turn to engineering automation to slash overhead and to maintain a leadership role in their markets.

By incorporating engineering knowledge in a visual configuration app, leading companies have broken barriers between themselves and their customers and have increased quality and customer satisfaction. And they’ve slashed the time required for the technical overview of their sales and order processes, from days or weeks to minutes.

PRODUCTS

Engineering Intent uses industry-leading automation systems to build robust, highly effective enterprise engineering automation solutions for our clients. In addition, we have created the cloud-based Knowledge Bridge ETO and visual configuration platform, enabling the development of a new generation of web-based product configuration systems.

Knowledge Bridge is the premier platform for capturing and automating engineering, configuration, costing, manufacturing, and other rules. In addition, Engineering Intent provides migration software and expertise for customers that have invested in the Autodesk Inventor ETO platform (now discontinued).

Knowledge Bridge enables the deployment of automated product configuration systems, removing significant cost and inefficiencies from quote- and order-engineering processes.

Rule-based systems go beyond CPQ limitations, providing true engineered solutions for complex products.

AUTODESK

Autodesk Developer Network Member

Engineering Intent partners with Autodesk to deliver integrated engineering automation solutions across several Autodesk CAD systems including Inventor, Revit and AutoCAD. In addition, we provide enterprise solutions based on the Forge Design Automation platform, enabling integrated design automation solutions that work in the cloud. And we know first-hand how Autodesk’s Configurator 360 provides configurable designs directly to the hands of customers, avoiding time-consuming engineering-driven sales processes.

As an ADN member, we work with Autodesk direct sales, resellers and key customers across a variety of industries and around the globe.

As the original developer behind the now-discontinued Inventor ETO software, we now help companies that have invested in ETO solutions migrate these systems to the next generation Knowledge Bridge platform. Even though Inventor ETO was workstation-based, ETO applications can be converted, design-by-design to the cloud-based Knowledge Bridge environment. Knowledge Bridge retains a great deal of the DNA of Intent/Inventor ETO.
