Agricultural machinery manufacturer, Maschio Gaspardo, needed to implement a flexible business environment to rapidly develop a full range of products tailored to farmers’ diverse needs. The Italian manufacturer uses the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and ENOVIA to improve governance from engineering and manufacturing to support. Working on a unique platform helps mechanical designers and engineers to efficiently collaborate on a global scale, to access more than a century of accumulated intellectual property and to forego physical prototypes thanks to 3D virtual modeling.
The equipment manufactured by Maschio Gaspardo can be very complex because it includes mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic parts, sheet metal, cabling, automation mechanisms, and load-bearing frames that require structural analysis. Some 3D models have up to 5,000 parts. Combining mechanical design with product lifecycle management capabilities thanks to ENOVIA, according to Massimo Crozzoli, was a “momentous change for the group.”
“ENOVIA keeps track of all modifications and versions, maintains a well-ordered repository of a huge quantity of files, streamlines information search and, as a result, minimizes redundancies and the risk of having to redesign existing parts. This is strategic for us since we have a complete range of products and a huge number of components to manage. We can maximize design reuse and benefit from our intellectual property,” Crozzoli said.
