Live model updates
Update the engineering model from CPC as product parameters and options change, keeping the configuration connected to the design.
Software development pipeline
Our development direction connects configuration, engineering, procurement and quality. These are the next capabilities we want to bring into CPC and the Inventor add-in.
Planned development. These capabilities describe our direction, rather than features available today. Scope and release timing will evolve as we develop and validate them.
01 / CPC & Add-in connectivity
Update the engineering model from CPC as product parameters and options change, keeping the configuration connected to the design.
Inspect the configured product in a 3D view within CPC, so teams can review the result alongside their selected options.
Bring the complete product and component list into CPC, with a bill of materials tied to the selected configuration.
Bring the quoting workflow into the portal, extending the functions currently available in the Inventor add-in to the teams configuring and selling the product.
02 / Supplier & project management
Register suppliers against their manufacturing technologies. Release a job to RFQ, giving each relevant supplier its own link to review and bid on the BOM items within its scope.
Track the current state of every item, supplier responses and expected delivery dates. Compare estimated and actual costs, with scope to surface overdue items, outstanding decisions and project progress from the same data.
03 / Quality & documentation
Complete QA records from a phone, tablet or PC through a dedicated interface, without needing a separate Excel workbook.
Define review groups for each product, assembly or part. Require the relevant design and manufacturing checks to be completed and recorded before the item moves through its agreed review stage.
Identify related quality documents, build an index and bring completed inspection reports and supporting records together into a complete manufacturing data record (MDR) suite.
