Ensuring business continuity while improving BOM data validation and ERP preparation

The customer faced several critical challenges:

• A well-established, business-critical change process, tailored for high throughput, used by well over 200 engineers and other business stakeholders.
• BOM checkers were dissatisfied with the existing user interface, which was targeted at different use cases, so not optimized for their needs.
• A new ERP system required improved data quality from PLM (product lifecycle management) to drive further downstream efficiencies.
• Engineering teams were concerned about altering familiar processes.
• The overarching goal was to facilitate advanced BOM data validation and ERP preparation within the existing 3DEXPERIENCE PLM change process without affecting the productivity of the engineering team.

A custom 3DDashboard widget for BOM checkers

TECHNIA developed a custom widget for 3DDashboard using Value Components that allowed BOM checkers to work in a dedicated UI, separate from the existing engineering interface. Key elements included:

• A new stage in the change process, specifically for BOM checking.
• Easy configuration with the customer’s custom change type.
• Drag-and-drop support and integration with 3D geometry and drawings.
• Capture of approval signatures and comments.
• Widget built primarily through configuration, allowing rapid deployment.
• This initiative also introduced 3DDashboard to a wider user base, encouraging broader platform adoption.

Optimizing user experiences and aligning processes within the PLM system

The project achieved impactful outcomes:

• Rapid deployment with live use achieved within weeks of initial design.
• Optimized user experience, with BOM checkers praising the intuitive and efficient interface.
• Process alignment, ensuring BOM validation and ERP preparation occurred fully within PLM.
• Business buy-in, with interest from engineering leaders in expanding widget use.
• Scalable sales model, with a 10-user license package sold to meet initial needs.

Working together

From a sketch on a tablet to a deployed process with a custom widget UI in under two months, the project showcased the power of listening to customer needs, identifying process gaps, and applying TECHNIA’s 3DEXPERIENCE UX solutions effectively. This approach provided a cost-effective entry point for broader digital transformation.

For the engineers at Rejlers, the prerequisites were clear, and not all the items on their wish list were about the technical performance of the software.

How to decide which bridge analysis software to use

As the bridge engineering team at Rejlers makes a fresh start and aims to grow rapidly, including both senior and junior engineers, they have a clear understanding of the types of projects coming up in the next year. Consequently, the requirements for their analysis tool were quite specific.

Rejlers needed an analysis tool that would be easy to use, quick to learn, yet robust and powerful. Working on the classification of road and railway-standard types of bridges, they decided to use BRIGADE/Standard. BRIGADE includes the predefined vehicles and combinations needed to perform classification analysis according to EUROCODE (including the national additions in TRVINFRA-00331).

Support for bridge simulation

Some users in the Rejlers bridge team have previously worked with BRIGADE/Plus, as well as other bridge analysis tools. Björn Lööw, Business Unit Manager at Rejlers, is one of them. Björn highlights the excellent support as a major reason for choosing BRIGADE, with TECHNIA as their simulation software supplier. From Björn’s experience, he consistently receives good, knowledgeable support from the BRIGADE support team. For the analysis team at Rejlers, this means that if they encounter any technical issues, the support team will help them resolve the problem to keep the project moving forward.

Rejlers is looking to expand their bridge and civil construction division. As the team grows, there may be an opportunity for them to also use BRIGADE/Plus, which offers a general modeling tool enabling advanced analysis and design of all types of bridges and civil structures.
