Product manufacturing today is all about customization. Whether it’s the color of a car’s side mirrors, the specific size of a wind turbine, or the type of powder coating for industrial machinery, demand for configurability continues to grow.
With that growth comes increasing complexity. Manufacturers must ensure that they can sell, manufacture and service all these configurations in a way that’s quick, efficient and accurate. Underpinning this challenge is the various software versions of product groups, which can cause delays in time to market, greater expense and a greater possibility of errors.
