Knowledge-Based Engineering requires capturing and embedding company-specific knowledge in your engineering application and re-using that knowledge in continual Product Development. Many companies struggle with capturing their critical design criteria in a user friendly and efficient way. Summit has worked with our clients to eliminate many issues surrounding KBE such as:

• Improving quality by standardizing design processes
• Reducing KBE development timeline.
• Embedding manufacturing and performance constraints
• Structuring a framework to rules and processes that are flexible.

Summit's KBE solution augments the CAD system's geometry-based approach with your company-specific knowledge, how-to and lesson's learned.

Maximize your KBE success by reducing both the time and resource investment. Our modular approach allows a return on your investment before the entire KBE application is complete. Our solutions provide our clients with the lowest risk and highest potential for project success by optimizing Pro/ENGINEER to :

• Automate repetitive and tedious design tasks, therefore better utilizing engineering efforts
• Reduce learning curve and increase productivity of new users
• Enforce sourcing practices
• Foster the re-use of efforts from previous projects

Summit's solution has made it beneficial and economical for any size company to reap the benefits of KBE. Change the economics of your product development by a successful and rapid adoption of KBE. Let Summit empower your design staff to improve product development performance in a robust and user-friendly way.
