Collaborative manufacturing in construction, mining and agriculture

Manufacturing enterprises face many challenges. Two that are causing extreme stress are the increasing complexity and variations of their products and the need to be able to simultaneously produce multiple product variations at different production plants distributed globally. For example, a piece of heavy machinery could have multiple equipment options, i.e., loading buckets, lift units, drive train components, and engines. Each option may be dependent on other options, e.g., a certain size bucket may require different attach points or hydraulics. Each of these options may require different build processes in different plants, for example, in Brazil, one component may be purchased while in the United States that same component may be manufactured in-house as part of the build process.
