DELMIAProcessEngineer Overviews:

　　The DELMIAProcessEngineer (DPE) module is a powerful tool for process and resource planning, for early detection of process risks, for re-applying proven processes, for tracking changes and decisions, and for acquiring dispersed process knowledge, provide a high quality solution. DELMIAProcessEngineer allows users to identify process risks in advance, reuse proven processes, track changes and demonstrate the decision-making process and access process knowledge within the enterprise. This comprehensive treatment of the relationship between product, process and manufacturing resource data (including layout) enables the user to avoid planning errors, thus laying the foundation for an accurate overview of the entire process in the early planning stage. This allows the user to clearly understand the macro investment, production sites and human resources needs of detailed information. DELMIAProcessEngineer provides a wide range of planning support types to meet all of these requirements. It provides effective product assembly structure browsing and high performance parts, assemblies and product visualization tools. Process diagrams provide clear assembly sequence relationships and relationships between processes and products, processes, and resources. Based on BOM (engineering bill of materials) and CAD product model data, process engineer also provides the possibility of building product assembly structure from sketch. The processes listed in the priority diagram map to the resources for manufacturing concepts and are refined to the operational level. Non-value-added functions such as quality control, logistics and handling are also planned at this stage. Finally, the operator is assigned to each process and can accurately determine its work and utilization efficiency. As a complete time measurement integration program, DELMIAProcessEngineer provides valuable scientific assessment of process time and labor requirements, feedback to product development and other planning assignments, projects, and quality reports. Pre-definition of target cost can provide evaluation results for material use, resource investment, manpower requirements and space requirements.

DELMIAProcessEngineer planning process

Process Concept Building:
　　In a process concept, an assembly sequence diagram is shown showing the modules and assembly steps required to make the product. At this stage, generally only consider value-added process, relative to the future product line is still very rough model. The process has fully configurable classification attributes. Validated processes can be stored directly in the process library for call during process preparation. The processes can be connected in a simple and intuitive manner according to the logical sequence of assembly sequences. The assembly and parts in the product structure can be connected to the specified process by dragging. As with other information items attached to the process, these connections are passed on to subsequent detailed planning (manufacturing concepts and manufacturing layouts) .

Manufacturing concept building, resource planning, Work Planning, logistics:
　　Process concepts are the basis for implementation-oriented manufacturing concepts where processes are mapped to resources. So far, the software has produced its first sketch. The concept of manufacturing also includes non-value-added activities, that is, all the processes and resources needed for production. In addition, machines, work stations and tools, transport equipment, buffers and test locations can be described in detail and connected here.

　　Once connected to the resource, the operational process and execution time, space requirements, and all direct preparation costs (investment, etc.) are determined. By including material costs, ProcessEngineer determines the direct operating costs based on the Labor requirements and salary model. This enables the planner to constantly review the manufacturing costs that the planning affects, and the planner will evaluate the pros and cons of the various manufacturing options. Of course, this manufacturing concept also includes human resources planning (sequence, time expenditure) . Common methods such as MTM, WF and REFA and predefined time modules can be accessed through DELMIA’s integrated time measurement scheme.

Target costing, status reporting and evaluation:

The important goal of planning is to control the target cost and avoid insufficient or exceeding the resource capacity. DELMIAPROCESSENGINEER does this through system costing and adjustment, and through consistent utilization calculations (including shipping methods and associated operators) . In order to save evaluation time and direct access to cost calculations, calculations are based on a number of criteria, from time targets, shift models, unit cost rates and cost factors of time, area, and availability to depreciation periods.

Simulation, layout planning and spatial computation:
　　DELMIAProcessEngineer integrates seamlessly with the DPM system, allowing users to validate process planning results in the DPM system. For example, the assembly process of a product is analyzed by using the DELMIAAssemblySimulation, the assembly process sequence is optimized, and the effectiveness and feasibility of the assembly tool is analyzed, and workers in the assembly process of posture analysis, and so on, using Quest for production logistics analysis.

PROCESS DOCUMENT OUTPUT:

In order to meet the requirements of different users, DELMIAProcessEngineer provides a complete secondary development interface, users can customize various output documents according to the actual needs.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FOR DELMIAPROCESSENGINEER:

　　Figure 1. DPE system architecture

　　The system of DELMIAProcessEngineer is composed of database server, application server and client. The Database Server installs the Oracle10g database to provide the underlying data support for the DELMIAProcessEngineer system to store process planning information. The Application Server installs the server side of the system Delmi APROXIME, which is the core of DELMI APROXIME system. On the one hand, the DPE server communicates with the underlying Oracle database to store the planning data. On the other hand, the DPE server communicates with the DPE client to provide the planning service for the client. In addition, the planned use of 3D data (such as product data, equipment resource data, output documents, etc.) are generally stored in the application server, and the application server unified management. The client installs the DELMIAProcessEngineer system client for planners to perform planning operations.
