Manufacturing

Increasingly, engineering organizations are distinguishing between concept design and detailed design activities. By creating a Release-to-CAD milestone before committing to detailed design, engineers are fostering innovation, lowering product development costs, getting to market faster, and creating higher quality products. In this white paper, Chad Jackson, President of Lifecycle Insights investigates Release-to-CAD and the technological and cultural shifts that enable it.

Controlling CO, HC, PM traditionally required a combination of a DOC and a CDPF, two devices that together yielded sufficient emissions and soot reduction on diesel engines. These systems often require paper filters and expensive controls for the combustion processes utilized for maximizing the emissions reductions. Now, AirFlow Catalyst Systems is reinventing emissions control with technology that eliminates the need for separate systems and delivers a single system to maximize emissions control without paper filters, in less space, and without expensive control equipment. Low temperature efficiency and less maintenenace / downtime are other significant benefits.

Manufacturers of off-highway vehicles are faced with the same challenges as companies in other sectors reducing design and manufacturing costs, reducing lead times, and improving product quality. Today, many of these companies create their electrical and wire harness designs using basic drawing packages. This paper describes how off-highway vehicle manufacturers can gain significant productivity and quality improvements in their electrical design process by using dedicated electrical design software tools.
