Digital Parts Warehouse

Digital parts warehouse – the digital transformation of warehousing

With increasing digitisation, data management is becoming more and more important. Additive manufacturing, which is largely taking place in the digital world, offers new dimensions for optimising logistics and procurement in your company. Here, our digital parts warehouse offers significant advantages for a sustainable and future-oriented management and backup of your 3D models.

As a service provider for additive manufacturing we present in our workshop the fundamentals of a digital parts warehouse for you and complement this with the corresponding licensing model for your very own digital parts warehouse.

With this we jointly create the prerequisites for actively driving forward the digital transformation in your company and enable you to take full advantage of the benefits of additive manufacturing.

Workshop

In the course of the workshop, we will take a closer look at the different characteristics of a digital parts warehouse. In concrete terms, what does a digital twin look like and what added value does a digital parts warehouse offer my company?

We will be happy to show you with the benefits and potential of the digital parts warehouse and answer all your questions in order to successfully master the final step of the digital value chain together.

Services

Via a specially developed program, you will receive your personal subscription to the digital parts warehouse for the retrieval and management of the 3D models for your individual product portfolio.These are generated and made available by us for you in advance, as per your requirements.

In addition, a digital twin can be added to the digital parts warehouse. Here you will find references to additional parameters that need to be taken into account during production in order to ensure the optimum component quality for you.

Digital transformation

With the establishment of a digital parts warehouse and the new possibilities for data transfer, you start the journey to the digital transformation of your company.

With the accompanying changes in the supply chain, additive manufacturing means that entirely new, disruptive business models and solutions can be developed.

With demand-oriented, decentralised manufacturing directly at the point of sale, storage costs are avoided and transport distances are shortened. 3D printing not only enables a fast, flexible and economically-efficient response to incoming demands, it also enables a major step towards greater sustainability and the improvement of the ecological footprint in the production of components.

Do you want to be part of this transformation? We are the service provider for additive manufacturing and we will be happy to accompany you on the journey!

Digital value chain – our 3D-printing concept for your future success

Digital Value Chain

Part screening

In part screening, we jointly look at your product portfolio and your individual problems in terms of parts availability.Through a comprehensive analysis we define potential and work out a concept for the deployment of additive manufacturing in order to solve your problems sustainably.

Digital Value Chain

Additive preparation

The foundation for additive manufacturing of components is created with the help of additive preparation. In addition to the creation of 3D models, this comprises product protection through exclusive branding and individual surface design by means of specific texturing.

Digital Value Chain

For uncomplicated and swift data management we offer you access to a convenient digital parts warehouse for your data as a logistic base for the additive transformation of the value chain in your company.

Thanks to the cooperation with our partner AMS - Additive Manufacturing Solutions Daimler Truck AG and the use of additive manufacturing, we succeeded - despite a tight timeline - in implementing a final product that meets our high quality requirements. The AMS team provided us with competent advice throughout the entire project, in line with their own high quality standards. We were very satisfied from the initial contact, to the project consulting, to the final delivery.

Additive manufacturing, in combination with highly targeted part screening, offers us the possibility to identify relevant replacement parts. We will be able to retrieve these from the digital parts warehouse in future, in order to significantly reduce delivery times and storage costs.

Head of Customer Service, Carthago Reisemobilbau GmbH

Through our activities in the field of additive manufacturing in recent years, the immense potential of the technology along the entire value chain has become evident step by step. The opportunities for our own business as well as for the customers range from savings potential to new business models. The future belongs to 3D printing technology. We're certain of that!

Ralf Anderhofstadt

Head of the Center of Competence for Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), Printing Shop & Media at Daimler Buses

For us, 3D printing is the perfect complement to the existing business model.
Thanks to this technology there arise great possibilities both in terms of the availability of components for the customer and in regard to production, but also with a view to leaner processes and avoidance of costs.

Bernd Mack

Head of Customer Services & Parts (CSP) at Daimler Buses

I am really enthusiastic about this technology. It is customer-friendly because the desired products, e.g. spare parts, are available much more rapidly – and the customer gets exactly what they need. It is sustainable because it is possible to produce on-demand: less packaging material, smaller warehouse areas, fewer production rejects! And this makes it economical, both for our customers and for us too. In short: we've accumulated a lot of positive experiences with 3D printing and have built up a lot of knowledge, so now we're keen to share that.

Till Oberwörder

Head of the Daimler Buses Division

It was indeed fascinating to participate in a workshop on additive manufacturing together with the colleagues from the Daimler Buses Center of Competence. With regards to the technology, the key benefits I noted are the highly flexible production quantities, the high speed and great quality of production, and the possibility to reuse any powder left over from the previous production cycle leading to virtually no waste. I believe there is immense untapped potential for companies to reduce storage expenses, shipping costs, and time to market through the use of additive manufacturing on carefully selected parts, and I am very happy to be part of the team that explores these potentials for DTAG in the Middle East and North Africa region.

Alexandru Matei

Head of Business Development Customer Services Daimler Trucks - Daimler Commercial Vehicles MENA FZE

We have been a long-standing partner and supplier of Daimler Buses in the field of plastics deep-drawing. We are very pleased that we can drive forward industrial 3D printing with Additive Manufacturing Solutions and continue to support Daimler Buses as a strategic partner. Firstly, industrial 3D printing optimally complements our existing portfolio and secondly, it positions us ideally for the future with this exciting technology in all its facets.
