Many companies already have configurators that take user input and provide product details (and sometimes even give a price and a basic drawing). With the Configurator 360 cloud-based service, you can offer your customers a real-time environment where they can manipulate models of what they are ordering and produce a variety of supporting materials in many formats. In this class we'll learn how to combine Inventor software model configuration using Inventor iLogic software or Inventor Engineer-to-Order software with tools for linking your configurator's output to the Configurator 360 service. We'll also look at the Autodesk Inventor Engineer-to-Order Server tools that can be used to directly provide models and other outputs directly back to the customer.

Configurator 360, a new software as a service (SaaS) offering, makes it absurdly easy to publish configurable models to an online catalog. Your sales teams, distributors, and customers can then configure, visualize, and request a quote for a product through a web browser or a mobile device. This class provides an overview of the steps required to publish catalogs and illustrates the process with some examples.

In this class, attendees will be shown a real project. It is a setting where the manufacturer is selling their products from their website to the end customer. The items are all configurable and their dimensions change per customer. Previously the inputs were taken from the customer from the website or via email and then they would be drawn accordingly. This project starts from embedding Configurator 360 to the manufacturer website. We program the manufacturer models so that the customers can generate 3D models from their web browsers, get a quote within minutes, and order. This ensures the manufacturer getting enough information for the models. When the order is taken, the embedding API C360 sends the necessary data to Inventor and all the laser cut drawings for the particular model is generated. So there are a couple of solutions of what this project has, one of which is to give the customer instant quote for a custom-made product, the other is the remove unnecessary work done talking back to the customer to let them understand if they are buying the right product, and lastly to remove a good amount of time for redrawing times which actually is a non-value added process, making all this project a lean one.

Configurator 360 cloud-based product configuration software provides a platform for rapid deployment to the cloud of configuration models that let users configure their own basic parts or full engineer-to-order (ETO) rules-driven models and everything in between. But don't stop there! The sky is the limit for processes that can be captured this way. In this class we explore how compact rules can be captured in applications that do many things besides configure products. We learn what these applications can do and how to make them.

Configurator 360 software offers a powerful way to deploy engineering and business rules to generate quotes for custom product configurations that include 3D models, bills of materials, drawings, and pricing details. Autodesk PLM 360 software offers the perfect platform for managing workflows for the managing and processing of quotes and orders. By integrating these 2 Solutions we can create a powerful Solution for creating and managing engineering, configured to order product quotes and orders and the critical outputs they need. In this session we will review how to build and combine the components of this integrated process. We'll demonstrate how to create and deploy configurations using Configurator 360 software, how to structure workspaces for quoting engineered-to-order products, and how to integrate these into a single solution.

The expectations of your customers have changed dramatically in the last few years. Customization of products has become the key to success for manufacturers worldwide, both in business-to-business and business-to-consumer scenarios. There are several process inefficiencies from quote to order to production, many of which you can eliminate by design and sales automation processes. Follow Algypug Enclosure’s automation journey and how Configurator 360 software and Salesforce.com have helped to reduce delivery lead times by more than 50%; reduce product non-conformances by more than 75%; improve the accuracy of quoting for custom products to 100%; eliminate enquiry-to-quote times; increase the conversion of opportunities to orders by over 10%; build a library of secure but easily accessible customer IP, increasing customer stickiness and creating long-term value; and differentiate from the competition in an extremely challenging market.

In this 60-minute instructional demo, we will examine how to use Inventor software and Configurator 360 software to create parametric assembly models where the components cannot be predicted in advance, hence the inability of iLogic plus suppression to solve the problem. We will show how to start with a base model for context, how to annotate accessory components so they can be added dynamically but only in legal configurations, how to use Configurator 360 software as a delivery mechanism, and finally (yes, a bit unrelated) how Configurator 360 software can export the full assembly to Revit software. Common areas of application include furniture systems, customized enclosures, industrial components with customized accessories, and many others.

Building product manufacturers—are you satisfied with paying a third party to create Building Information Modeling (BIM) (Revit software) content? Frustrated that you have to pay again when you add or update your products? Would you like to make BIM content available on your own website, along with your photos, specifications, literature, and testimonials? Contractors—are you frustrated with searching among multiple content providers before finding content that leaves you wanting more (metadata, connectors) or less (geometry details)? Do you spend a lot of time matching specifications with models to make sure they're correct or up to date? Inventor software provides the building product manufacturer with simplification tools and BIM authoring to create configurable models, while Configurator 360 software hosts those models on your own website, enabling contractors to view, specify, and download BIM content.
