What is Gears?

A Feature-based Product Line Engineering (PLE) Factory operates much like a conventional manufacturing plant, yet its emphasis is on digital resources instead of physical goods. In establishing this factory, your organization curates an extensive "superset" supply chain comprising digital assets that are available for use across a broad spectrum of products. These digital assets encompass every feature option in the product portfolio. Each product's chosen features are specified in the Bill-of-Features, after which a product asset instance is created with the help of the Gears product configurator. The PLE Factory, powered by Gears, evolves into an automated system that efficiently assembles and configures the shared digital assets based on the selected features for each variant, all with the simple press of a button. By leveraging BigLever’s Gears, your organization gains access to a cohesive set of PLE principles and frameworks, enhancing the effectiveness of your tools and assets, which ultimately streamlines engineering workflows throughout the complete product lifecycle. This seamless integration not only boosts operational efficiency but also encourages greater innovation in product development, paving the way for a more agile and responsive market approach.

What is CAD Schroer M4?

CAD Schroer offers an extensive range of standard software solutions and applications that concentrate on technologies such as CAD, PLM, PDM, IoT, VR, and AR. Our product offerings are divided into two primary lines: M4 and i4. The M4 line provides innovative solutions tailored for CAD, plant engineering, and factory design. Conversely, the i4 line supports your Industry 4.0 strategies and digital transformation efforts with standardized software for AR, VR, and IoT applications. With the introduction of version 7.0, CAD Schroer has melded the MEDUSA4 and MPDS4 products into a cohesive CAD suite, thereby unifying all CAD solutions under the M4 brand for future developments. Each product package will be specifically designed for various industries and given unique names, such as M4 DRAFTING for 2D mechanical engineering or M4 FACTORY for comprehensive 2D and 3D factory layout planning. This strategic reorganization not only strengthens our capability to address the varied needs of our customers but also positions us as a leader in the fast-paced technological environment. As we move forward, we remain committed to fostering innovation and excellence in all our offerings.
