AutoForm-CarBodyPlanner

AutoForm-CarBodyPlanner is a fully web-based solution that enables engineers to quickly evaluate part feasibility and optimize material utilization in the early stages of the BiW process chain. The software is offered exclusively as Software as a Service (SaaS) through AutoForm Cloud.

Traditionally, engineers have conducted part feasibility assessments and material utilization analyses using a time-consuming, part-by-part approach. Often, teams must manage a large number of parts under extremely tight deadlines, relying heavily on a few key experts. AutoForm-CarBodyPlanner enables users to effectively overcome these challenges with its powerful batch processing functionality. This core capability allows users to automatically and simultaneously calculate multiple parts.

In addition, the solution excels in smart automation, enabling accurate prediction of process parameters extracted from the historical knowledge base. This allows users to seamlessly transfer valuable knowledge and data from past projects into current ones. What sets AutoForm-CarBodyPlanner apart, and enhances the accuracy of results, is its unique hybrid approach which combines historical data with physic-based calculations.
