A product configurator for mechanical engineering offers unique features that distinguish it from configurators in other industries. Some of the key aspects we consider when developing our mechanical engineering configurators:
Our solution can manage highly complex products with numerous interdependent components, as is typical in mechanical engineering.
Integrates sophisticated mathematical, logical, electrical and mechanical rules to ensure plausibility and error-free configurations.
Exports configurations in native CAD formats and automatically generates the required BIM data and CAD models.
Contains a special mode for manufacturing and builds a bridge between the first customer contact and production.
Enables the direct use of configuration data in augmented reality systems, improving the design and presentation process.
Helps to overcome specific challenges in mechanical engineering, such as increasing competitive pressure, shorter innovation cycles and growing demand for product customization.
These features make a product configurator for mechanical engineering a powerful tool that goes beyond simple product customization and is deeply integrated into engineering processes and manufacturing requirements.
At W4, we don't just integrate our configurator solutions into your existing systems; we go a step further by offering the possibility to develop a completely customized solution from scratch. This is what sets us apart in the field of product configurators for mechanical engineering:
Schaffner
Together with Schaffner, we have developed a product configurator and integrated various product filters. Users can select product categories, set filters and specify parameters so that everyone can quickly find the right product for them. The selected products can then be collected and saved in a personalized catalogue.
Mettler-Toledo
The Mettler-Toledo Group, the world's largest manufacturer of precision scales and weighing systems, receives hundreds of inquiries to its support center every day.
To reduce this burden, the W4 marketing agency has developed a product configurator that answers frequently asked customer questions online. This has reduced the support center's workload by almost half, resulting in significant cost savings.
e + a - virtual sales engineer
e+a Elektromaschinen und Antriebe AG is one of the world's leading manufacturers of motor elements and built-in motors. e+a wanted to make the expertise of its sales engineers available online. e+a's product configurator also increases the profitability of sales processes.
Product configurations can be created during the customer meeting, with simultaneous access to product, price and process information. This saves time and enables customer requirements to be recorded directly.
A product configurator for mechanical engineering can significantly improve the customer experience by simplifying and personalizing the entire purchasing process. Customers can configure their products easily and intuitively by choosing from different modules, components and specifications. This allows them to create customized products that exactly meet their requirements. By specifying products and services in real time, customers get a clear overview of their configuration before making a purchase decision. A fast, transparent and intuitive user interface significantly increases customer satisfaction, which leads to stronger customer loyalty.
A product configurator offers companies and departments in mechanical engineering numerous advantages:
A product configurator thus optimizes the entire product development process and increases productivity.
