ERP And CAD/CAM Solutions Are Find Large-Scale Acceptance Among Indian Companies
TECHNOLOGY IS DESIGNED TO SOLVE CHALlenges. In manufacturing, it becomes even more essential considering the complex processes of the industry. According to a research, firms resisting adoption of software-based techniques are being outperformed by their peers. As a result, it was observed that there exists an R&D productivity gap in the traditional manufacturing sector where highly software-intensive firms produce more patents for each rupee invested in R&D than less software intensive firms. This is more pertinent in discrete manufacturing.
What matters most in discrete manufacturing is managing the supply chain. One needs to orchestrate the flow of parts and components around the world with fine-tuned precision, and make smart choices that keep costs low and delivery smooth. This needs the right kind of ERP and CAD/CAM that can enable manufacturers to create smooth workflows. Vendors aid in simplifying operational complexity, reduce errors and speed time-to-market by aligning and connecting product development, supply chain, factory and logistics operations with a unified business software platform that are specifically aligned to the needs of discrete manufacturers.
In the market today, numerous kinds of software in terms of ERP and CAD/CAM are available. Dhirendra Kulkarni, technical sales director, PTC India, says, "For discrete manufacturing, PTC offers CAD and PLM solution suites for product development and service requirements. Creo is our CAD platform and Windchill is our PLM platform. For the business initiatives of discrete manufacturing companies for smart connected manufacturing and smart connected products, we offer a host of solutions under our IoT platform, Thingworx and Augmented Reality platform, Vuforia."
