Assembly Time Estimation
Recognizing that assembly costs, typically measured through assembly time, dominate the costs of complex system production, we have worked on developing fast tools for assembly time estimation for engineers through all stages of system development process. Our goal is to provide early stage assistance, focused on design support rather than on line-sustaining engineering.
