Overview
Rulestream is a powerful engineer-to-order (ETO) automation solution from Siemens that simplifies the process of selling and delivering highly customized, complex products. It captures engineering knowledge and rules to automate the creation of 3D models, BOMs, and technical documents based on customer requirements.
Designed for companies that create unique solutions for each order, Rulestream integrates seamlessly with CAD, PLM, and ERP systems. This reduces lead times and improves quote accuracy without sacrificing engineering standards.
Capabilities of
Rulestream
Engineer-to-Order Automation
Automate custom product design by generating CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and routings based on configurable inputs.
Rule-Based Configuration Engine
Build complex logic and engineering rules to guide product configuration, ensuring feasibility and compliance with design standards.
Integrated Quoting & Costing
Generate real-time quotes with detailed breakdowns of materials, labor, and manufacturing costs that align with design data.
CAD Integration (NX, Solid Edge)
Automatically drive CAD geometry, assemblies, and drawings from user inputs and configuration logic, supporting both Siemens and third-party CAD systems.
PLM and ERP Connectivity
Transfer complete product data into Teamcenter and ERP systems to ensure a smooth handoff to production and procurement.
Web-Based Sales Configurator
Allow sales and distributors to visually and interactively configure products through a web interface, reducing reliance on engineering teams.
Knowledge Capture and Reuse
Centralize and formalize engineering knowledge so it can be consistently reused across teams, projects, and locations.
Key Benefits of Rulestream
Shorter Lead Times
Automate repetitive engineering tasks, cutting design cycle times from weeks to minutes. This enables faster delivery of custom products.
Higher Quote Accuracy
Provide precise, rules-based proposals and cost estimates, reducing errors and enhancing customer satisfaction.
Reduced Engineering Load
Free engineers from routine tasks by formalizing their knowledge into reusable configuration rules and templates.
Enhanced Order Profitability
Standardize the customization process to reduce waste, avoid over-engineering, and ensure predictable project margins.
Seamless End-to-End Integration
Connect quoting, engineering, and manufacturing into a single streamlined workflow linked with your CAD, PLM, and ERP platforms.
Case Studies
Smarter Bids, Faster Wins: The Rulestream Revolution
Challenge: Highly variable process and product (specs for fuels, particulate removal level, sizes are infinitely variable) • “Go-by” cost modeling due to insufficient design detail • Lower margin product requiring short bid cycles
Keys to success : • In-house design process using NX • Design that automates many aspects of mold design • Part-mold associativity that speeds design changes
Results:
• Reduced proposal time from one month to under a week
• Significant improvement in accuracy and effort
