Case Study
Manufacturer Digitally Transforms Operations in only 3 Months, During Pandemic Restrictions
The manufacturer faced a complex assemble-to-order process for products with 50 base models, 400 feature options, and over 100,000 part numbers, requiring 3–20 machining, assembly, and test steps across 70 CNC lathes and mills. With 7,000+ possible machine routings, route determination was highly challenging, and each work order needed a unique part number. The 42Q software revolutionized this by intelligently automating route selection, dynamically assigning exclusive part numbers, and optimizing machine utilization to streamline production, eliminate errors, and enable efficient control of the intricate combinations.
