Heavy Machinery
Zuken delivers ‘best in class’ information exchange via its Cable, Cabling & Fluidic Product Development environment approach - safeguarding data security while allowing authorized users easy access to relevant design data and information.
The increase in legislation surrounding operator safety and the importance of delivering value at a lifetime cost level rather than simply initial outlay sets challenging goals for product development. Having a reliable development approach that aids the long-term sustainability of a machine in the field is primary.
Lifetime Cost
The lifetime cost of a heavy machine is just as important as, if not more critical than, the initial purchase outlay within this largely replacement market. Not only do designers have to consider efficiencies up to the manufacturing stage, they need to ensure maintenance can be carried out cost effectively to ensure the low long term running overheads.
Legislation
The growth in legislation for safety and pollution minimization further restricts the design process. This involves more integrated electrical and electronics for new safety shut off devices and warning systems.
