The design phase is the first touchpoint in determining the project’s success. If executed inefficiently, team members have a rocky journey ahead of them. If it’s executed well, the result is a more streamlined process from start to finish.

Using MTpro from Bosch Rexroth, Berlinger Special AG was able to put an entire assembly line into operation in less than three months. In MTpro Layout Designer, assemblies such as worktables or shelf systems were individually designed, adjusted to the body size of the employees using the ManModel function and inserted with millimeter precision in the 3D layout of the virtual working environment. MTpro not only provided support with layout planning, but also generated ready-to-order parts lists with all necessary assemblies and elements once the project was ready to bring to life.

In another example, Bosch Rexroth’s integrator Eagle Technologies used MTpro to tackle a large assembly system that used not just aluminum framing components, but also conveyance, within an aggressive timeline. Using the software, the team at Eagle Technologies was able to provide an extremely detailed assembly line layout. Paired with a quoting tool from Bosch Rexroth, Eagle Technologies was not only able to provide a detailed bill of material, but an accurate cost and comprehensive layout, which saved time in the long run.

As demonstrated from the above success stories, the design phase plays a crucial role in determining the success of a project, making the software used to execute the design critical. Efficient execution during this phase can significantly impact the overall process, leading to a more streamlined and successful outcome.
