Overcoming challenges in medical equipment manufacturing
In the custom medical equipment manufacturing industry, accuracy and compliance are key requirements. However, delivering highly customized products with traditional manufacturing processes leads to bottlenecks, errors, and long sales cycles.
DriveWorks design automation, 3D configurator, and CPQ solutions streamline design engineering workflows, ensure quality, and speed up design and sales cycles for custom medical equipment products.
How DriveWorks makes a difference for medical equipment manufacturers
DriveWorks transforms custom medical equipment manufacturing to enable:
- Complex customization with ease
- Consistent regulatory compliance
- Error-free engineering
Customization
Medical equipment manufacturing includes a wide range of products, from hospital equipment such as patient beds and diagnostic machines to dental equipment and surgical instruments. Customization can be complex, with equipment designed to meet specific patient requirements.
DriveWorks enables customization without additional engineering workload. Custom models, drawings, and BOMs are generated automatically, saving engineering time and ensuring accuracy.
Configuration rules prevent incompatible options, ensuring all specifications are accurate. This reduces rework volumes and improves customer satisfaction.
Regulatory compliance
Regulatory compliance in medical equipment manufacturing is crucial for ensuring patient safety and quality of care.
Compliance with regulations enables healthcare providers to foster trust with their patients. Reliable delivery of compliant medical equipment is also key for manufacturers to build trust with their customers.
DriveWorks ensures only compliant configuration options can be selected, ensuring that compliance is maintained for even the most complex customized medical equipment. Automatically-generated manufacturing documents, data, and drawings also reflect compliance requirements.
Error-free engineering
Error-free engineering is key to ensuring medical equipment quality, safety, and reliability while significantly reducing costs and waste.
DriveWorks automates medical equipment design by embedding rules, enforcing standards, validating inputs, and eliminating manual errors.
Medical equipment manufacturers use DriveWorks to deliver consistent, high-quality, and compliant product configurations, drawings, and BOMs.
Engineers have more time to focus on product development, leading to improved job satisfaction and a culture of product innovation.
DriveWorks in action
Medical equipment manufacturers use DriveWorks solutions to streamline design engineering workflows, ensure quality, and speed up design and sales cycles.
Monmouth Scientific improve customer experience and streamline their sales cycle with DriveWorks
Monmouth Scientific design and manufacture clean air solutions. Their product range includes fume cupboards, cleanrooms, and safety cabinets.
Over 50 members of the Monmouth Scientific team use DriveWorks. Their cleanroom configurator enables salespeople to specify customer requirements using inputs and interactive 3D visualizations. From this, DriveWorks generates a quote document from a template, ensuring consistency. The quote also includes images of the 3D model to improve customer confidence. SOLIDWORKS assemblies and drawings are automatically generated.
“Not only do we give customers accurate quotes quickly, we also save time with approvals because customers can easily identify any changes from the 3D model.”
Pete Shirvington, Operations Engineer at Monmouth Scientific
