Description
A Feature-based Product Line Engineering (PLE) Factory functions similarly to a traditional manufacturing facility, but it focuses on digital assets rather than tangible components. To build this factory, your organization develops a comprehensive “superset” supply chain of digital assets that are accessible across the entire range of products. These assets come with all the available feature options provided in the product lineup. The selected features for each product are detailed in the Bill-of-Features, and subsequently, a product asset instance is generated using the Gears product configurator. The PLE Factory, driven by Gears, transforms into an automated production system that assembles and configures the shared digital assets according to the chosen features for each product variant at the simple push of a button. With BigLever’s Gears, your organization benefits from a unified set of PLE concepts and frameworks, enhancing your tools and assets, which ultimately streamlines engineering processes throughout the entire product lifecycle. This integration not only promotes efficiency but also fosters innovation within product development.

WiMetrix serves as an advanced factory platform and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) tailored specifically for the apparel and textile industries. By linking shop-floor data to daily operations, it empowers teams to enhance productivity, maintain high-quality standards, ensure traceability, and achieve timely deliveries. Its features encompass RFID-driven production and work-in-progress (WIP) tracking, monitoring of operator and line performance, digital quality inspections, tracking of defects and rework, oversight of machine efficiency and downtime, production planning, fabric consumption management, and visibility into packing processes. With real-time dashboards, managers can readily pinpoint bottlenecks, delve into recurring issues, and implement corrective measures as necessary. Furthermore, WiMetrix seamlessly integrates with current ERP systems and provides a modular approach to implementation, enabling factories to prioritize key processes before expanding across their operations, thereby facilitating a smoother transition to enhanced manufacturing efficiency. This flexibility allows manufacturers to adapt to changing needs while continuously improving their operational effectiveness.
