Product & Process Analysis

With today's software tools available on the market it is possible to simulate a lot of processes and product behaviour under certain circumstances. Processes and products can be analysed in a virtual environment in a very early stage of the product design process. This will reduce risk of failure, improve manufacturability, accelerate the Time To Market and Time To Volume processes and save a lot of money compared to the trial and error methods with physical products and processes.

Enimco offers the following analysing services:

Electronic Simulation
For some electronic products, like bare and loaded PCB and cable assemblies for high frequency applications, the signal values and quality depend very much on the design. Trial and error testing of prototypes is the best way to analyse the performance. This will take at least a few prototype runs before the design is optimised. Using electronic simulation software can reduce the number of prototype runs. Although not 100% reliable, prototype testing will always be required, these simulations give good results and help you to optimise the design the best before the first prototypes are made.

Moldflow Analysis
To have the molding process run smoothly and reduce cycle times the combination of product design, tool design and process parameters are critical factors. With moldflow analysis tools all of these parameters can be varied and shows the impact directly on parameters like filling time, injection pressure, confidence of fill, temperature analysis, and product quality. The use of this software tool will avoid a lot of tool modifications and process problems when the production has started. Enimco can assist you to make sure your tool and process design will be as you want it to be.

Finite Element Analysis
Using Finite Element Analysis software the behaviour of plastic and metal parts under mechanical stress can be predicted. This gives you the opportunity to modify the design of the product in a very early stage of the design process, before any money has been spend on tooling or physical prototypes.

Virtual Reality
When laying out a very complex manufacturing process, where a lot of money needs to be invested and when the process is hard to modify once it has been implemented, e.g. assembly lines with conveyor systems, it would save a lot of time and money if the process could be simulated in advance of building the process. With modern Virtual Reality techniques this has become possible. One can design complete factories and use VR to walk through it, having products and people in place and analyse the impact of several set-ups. This results in an improved efficiency of the process, better through put times etc. Enimco can help you to improve these critical success factors in your factory or working cells by using VR techniques.
