We are delighted to announce that our Managing Director, Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Schmidt, will give a pioneering talk at the CWG Chapter Nord in Lübeck on 3 March 2026!
The challenge: mastering complexity in variant manufacturing
In today’s fast-moving manufacturing industry, companies, particularly in mechanical and plant engineering (CTO, CTO+, ETO), face the constant challenge of managing a growing product variety efficiently.
The manual creation and maintenance of assembly bills of materials for variant-rich products is time-consuming, error-prone and significantly slows time-to-market. The discrepancy between engineering structures and the requirements of production processes often leads to inefficiencies and high costs
The solution: process optimisation through automation
Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Schmidt, Managing Director of BDF EXPERTS, presents an innovative approach to the automated creation of assembly bills of materials for variant-rich products in his talk. He shows how engineering structures can be transferred seamlessly into production-ready processes.
The heart of this solution lies in applying an intelligent rule set and a configurable production resource structure. This approach enables the automated generation of assembly bills of materials based on the specific order configuration.
This means a significant reduction in manual intervention and an increase in data consistency across the entire product lifecycle.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Significant process advantages: Faster creation of assembly bills of materials and a reduction in errors.
- Efficiency gains: Optimising the handover of engineering data to production.
- Cost reduction: minimising rework and scrap through more precise bills of materials.
- Flexibility: Better adaptability to individual customer requirements and product variety.
- Practical insights: Presentation of real-world use cases that demonstrate the success of this approach.
