simus classmate

simus classmate is a software suite specifically designed to optimize data management processes for mid-sized manufacturing companies. It offers a diverse range of solutions, including CAD model classification, cost calculation, work plan creation, master data management, and geometric similarity search. This comprehensive suite caters to the needs of professionals such as manufacturing engineers, product managers, supply chain managers, procurement professionals, and CAD designers across various industries.

Key Features

classmate CAD: This feature automates the classification of CAD models based on form elements such as contours, holes, fillets, and chamfers. It fills class-specific attribute lists with the determined values and generates 2D and 3D preview formats, enhancing the organization and findability of CAD models.

COSTPILOT: With this feature, users can calculate manufacturing costs directly from 3D CAD models. It analyzes the geometry to determine the required manufacturing processes and associated costs, providing detailed cost breakdowns, including setup costs, piece costs, and manufacturing times.

classmate DATA: This feature enables the central creation and maintenance of material master data. It cleanses and structures data, ensuring data consistency and accuracy. Users can also implement master data governance rules and workflows with ease.

classmate FINDER and easyFINDER: These features provide a powerful search engine for finding product or CAD data across large databases. Users can search for information system-wide, making it easier to locate data from various sources. This improves data visibility, accessibility, and promotes data reuse, ultimately reducing costs.

classmate PLAN: This feature automates the creation of work plans for materials based on CAD data. It populates work steps with available data, such as setup times and machine times, ensuring accurate and up-to-date work plans. This reduces errors and improves overall productivity.

classmate SAP Module: This feature integrates simus classmate with SAP systems for data synchronization and management. It enables faster and more efficient data maintenance outside of the SAP user interface. Users can also configure the classification system and simplify the creation of new classes.

simus connect: With this feature, users can analyze and structure data from ERP, PLM, and CAD systems for further processes. It provides a cloud-based platform for optimized CAD data and early cost calculation. Moreover, it facilitates data exchange and integration between different systems, enhancing data consistency and reliability.

costing24: This feature enables quick and easy online cost calculation for turned, milled, and sheet metal parts. Users can obtain accurate cost estimates based on CAD models and predefined manufacturing processes. It supports make-or-buy decisions, supplier negotiations, and early cost control.

Schnittstellen zu CAD-, ERP- und PDM-Systemen: This feature offers interfaces to popular CAD, ERP, and PDM systems for seamless data exchange. It ensures data consistency and synchronization between different systems, enhancing collaboration and efficiency by eliminating duplicate data entry and errors.
