“Model Based Enterprise is no longer just an interesting concept that companies might use to eliminate waste in the design-to-manufacturing process,” said a KOTEM spokesperson. “Recent industry conferences have revealed that the biggest problem many manufacturers have is getting their people to accept work process changes, and to break out of the 1980s CAD model and business practices mold. Industry 4.0 promises to collapse information silos and increase interoperability. The EVOLVE Suite, whose component members work together to apply, communicate, verify and analyze product tolerances, goes a long way toward facilitating the transition to Industry 4.0.“
EVOLVE Design is a computeraided engineering tolerancing software that guides engineers to apply correct GD&T tolerance to CAD models. EVOLVE Design helps designers with difficult GD&T interpretations and provides explanations when a particular use is not correct.
EVOLVE Manufacturing graphically compares measured results to design or manufacturing datums, suggests proper manufacturing adjustments and details how those adjustments will impact GD&T tolerances on the whole part.
EVOLVE SmartProfile analyzes part measurement point clouds, overlays those point cloud data over the CAD model of the part, and automatically runs a GD&T evaluation. EVOLVE Design, EVOLVE Manufacturing and EVOLVE SmartProfile all use the same GD&T rules engine.
EVOLVE SPC is a full statistical process control software. Since EVOLVE SPC is model-based, the SPC data is connected to the CAD model, providing better visualization of trending data.
