CADECplus is a KBE tool specially developed for equipment manufacturers and is based on parametric 3D CAD technology. It is a rule-based configurator, and it enforces logical development of product designs. As an equipment manufacturer develops newer products and variants, design data and references go on increasing exponentially, and designers find it difficult to ask "Why?" because finding logical answers requires searching for a lot of data. Implementing the answer is difficult, too, since a lot of products already have ad-hoc dimensions or shapes. Due to the increasing design customizations, the organization wants to make things more systematic, for better control over designs. CADECplus comes in very handy for everything required to make the right and smart move for such control. CADECplus also helps to keep all the knowledge confidential in a rules database and allows you to implement rules without sharing knowledge with everyone.
