Product customization and ETO Development division

KKMSoft provides custom built solutions on top of Industry proven Autodesk solutions to capture the knowledge and skills of your valuable design processes.

In the explosive phase that our Indian economy is going through, more and more manufacturing houses are seeing their order books filled, higher demand for better quality products, higher profit for faster deliveries, higher priority for safety measures etc. All this puts more pressure on one department that has to deliver quality design and drawings to marketing for proposal needs, to tooling for tool making and to production for manufacturing needs. Increasing the design software licenses or switching over to alternate CAD systems is not providing the desired results. This is due to heavy attrition of skilled design professionals to better opportunities offered by competitors or by other professions. 

 This unprecedented level of attrition poses new threats to the manufacturing process like:

• -          Loss of design data to competition

• -          Reduction in quality of skill sets ,Loss of time due to training and reorientation

• -          Increase in design time and increase in errors, increase in cost of corrections

• -          Delays in making proposals to waiting customers

How can Customization of CAD benefit your business?

Capture Design knowledge and De-Skill your standard product design

By automating the standard design and drawing processes, you can capture the knowledge involved in design decisions, standard design data, ideal parameters etc into a custom built solution. Any process starting from customer inquiry to final manufacturing can be captured and customized to follow your product manufacturing needs.

Reduce time to generate drawings by 90% and Increase throughput of design by 10 times, also Remove errors and ambiguities in drawings

      While most other CAD - PLM products and practices can get you at best an increase of 20% productivity, our custom solutions achieve what even seasoned CAD/CAM/PLM solutions fail to offer. Our Customers have achieved over 90% reduction in design time and a 10 fold increase in drawing output. Achieve all this with zero errors and zero ambiguities.

Empower Marketing to produce proposal drawings, enable link to upstream products like ERP, Web and PLM

      With automation of input collection, 3D model creation and drawing generation there is a reduced need of dependence on design department by marketing. Marketing managers can generate rich 3D and 2D drawings with complete data of BOM, Mass properties and comprehensive data to offer quicker proposals with more options to the clients. This helps you beat the competition at the proposal stage itself. Further it opens up scope to link to your ERP and PLM solutions. Your product can also become open to global customers through web integration and can offer configuration capabilities to your customers over your secure website.
