Online configurator for hob blanks from Hard Material Solutions by CERATIZIT
Just a few clicks to create your very own individual product
CERATIZIT S.A., Mamer, Luxembourg (headquarters), 20 September 2017
On the occasion of EMO 2017, the CERATIZIT Group will be showing the new online configurator for individual hob blanks from Hard Material Solutions by CERATIZIT. Thanks to the intuitive configurator, which includes an automated ordering feature, in future customers will need just a few clicks to configure and order carbide hob blanks from the E-Techstore online shop. As finished tools they can then be used for the interconnection of a great variety of components.
Speed and flexibility
The new configurator offers customers total flexibility and a hitherto unimaginable speed when ordering. It designs the most suitable blank for any application in a fully automated way, and generates an offer according to the customer’s terms and conditions. Thanks to the memory function of the configurator the order can be placed either immediately or at a later time.
The automated ordering process is to the benefit of the customer in other respects as well, as Product Manager Manuel Bergmann explains: “Our new configurator is typical of future-oriented digitalisation projects, in that it creates capacity by freeing our employees from repetitive logical processes. Thus resources are made available in areas where creative intelligence is needed.” This gives CERATIZIT the chance and the ability to continue improving its hob production and developing services like the configurator, says Bergmann.
Intuitive operation
The configurator tool is totally user friendly. The customer only has to enter the finished dimensions of the hob he wants, to receive an instant offer for a suitable blank. 2D visualisation, displaying the dimensions submitted, enables customers to check the data and compare it with their original enquiry.
Automation up to and including production
And automation doesn’t stop there. After the order has been placed, the software automatically prepares the routing, the bill of materials and a 3D model including a 2D drawing of the blank. Thanks to this networking, production of the individual blank can start just a few moments after the order has been submitted.
On request, customers can be sent the 3D model (STEP) and 2D drawing (PDF). In this way the drawing can be approved in short order and the product is already defined in the customer’s CAD data, from the blank right through to the finished article.
