PREDICTIVE COSTING FOR ALL Available 3D CAD SYSTEMs

Corporate data is worth gold. The CostChecker uses data intelligently and calculates manufacturing costs of components and assemblies with predictive analytics. For the CostChecker it is not important, how the structure of the 3D CAD models is look like. The CostChecker knows, in which material group, which cost drivers act and combines this information. The result is a highly accurate, robust and reliable calculation for manufacturing costs. The CostChecker uses data analytics and predictive analytics technologies - for absolutely precise calculations. So - within the shortest possible time, the manufacturing costs of new components and assemblies can be calculated directly in your CAD, PDM, ERP or PLM system.

The CostChecker use complex, mathematical procedures to calculate manufacturing costs. Every component got technical specifications, with more or less influence in manufacturing costs. Based on these cost drivers, the CostChecker choose the best method for calculating manufacturing costs. If you want to know more about the mathematics behind the CostChecker, just contact us.

The smallest change in geometry on the 3D CAD model, has an immediate effect to the calculation of the manufacturing costs. For engineers, the CostChecker offers many indispensable functions to check concepts and ideas to their competitiveness. Most important: The calculations are absolutely accurate, plausible and comprehensible. Concepts in an early stage of development, can be evaluated quickly and plausible. Let's have a look in this movie ...

The CostChecker uses data in an intelligent way. Based on data, the CostChecker calculates manufacturing costs of new, never-made components. The intelligent combination and calculation makes it possible. If there are some questions about the CostChecker and it's accuracy - just ask our team.

Know manufacturing costs in an early stage of the development is important. It allows to make important, strategic decisions at an early stage of product development. 80% of the manufacturing costs are defined in the engineering department. Projects to decrease manufacturing costs should be avoided! However, the demands on a calculation of manufacturing costs are high. The calculations must be precise, done easy and fast. All these requests the CostChecker fulfill perfect.

The CostChecker is a software from mechanical engineers, for mechanical engineers. We know what it means, to develop a machine and undercut target costs. In our time as engineers, we missed a tool, which calculate manufacturing costs in a plausible way. Achieve target costs was important - and we were also measured by. But later ... after a few month developing, is was more important to finish the product and fulfill the function. But, is it not more important to have a marketable product? A working machine is a premise. With the CostChecker, our customer are able to develop a running and marketable product in one step. That's how it should work.
