What is a Design to Order System?
 |
How DAA Solutions Can Help You |
| |
A Design-To-Order™ Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) system is a software application that is developed to automate any simple or complex engineering or manufacturing related design task. DTO solutions are intended for companies whose products involve specials, customs and engineered to order solutions.
A Design-To-Order™ KBE system enables real-time design of custom products. DAA
Design-To-Order™ KBE systems are used to allow full product design as an integral part of the sales quotation process. DAA
Design-To-Order™ KBE Systems also enable reductions of engineering time for custom products by up to 90% over traditional computerized design approaches. A
Design-To-Order™ KBE system can either be fully automated or partially
automated. |
