ASSEMBLY FRIEND is a tool for 3D assembly instructions. The digital assistance system efficiently provides a wide range of digital information in production, quality assurance, maintenance, repair, and installation. It enables complex products to be assembled, commissioned, and repaired quickly and without errors.
The assembly of products of any kind is usually carried out on the basis of 2D drawings or assembly instructions in the form of images with text. Good and comprehensible assembly instructions for complex products are very time-consuming to create. It can quickly happen that instructions are unclear or incomplete. As a result, assembly errors occur, quality is insufficient, or assembly takes longer than planned. In addition, the training time for employees varies when instructions are highly complex. If digital assistance systems are already in use, they often only work in two-dimensional displays.
Get started effortlessly with ASSEMBLY FRIEND! In just a few steps, your system will be ready so you can get started quickly and efficiently.
In the second step, you use ASSEMBLY FRIEND to create your individual assembly instructions. Use the intuitive user interface to add work steps, images, and notes. In no time at all, you will have clear, understandable instructions—perfect for your production.
In the third step, you bring your assembly instructions directly into the application. With ASSMEBLY FRIEND, employees can use the instructions digitally at their workplace—step by step, interactively—making assembly easier, faster, and error-free.
ASSEMBLY FRIEND VIEWER is a worker assistance system for production optimization, quality assurance, maintenance, repair, and installation—especially in assembly and manufacturing. The software is used to display digital 3D work instructions and document the work process or assembly step. The product solution offers various functions to make your production paperless and to positively change and digitize work processes. Process flows can be individually adapted to your workers. This allows you to minimize errors within your assembly. In addition, you benefit from digital verification and process documentation (monitoring).
With our ASSEMBLY FRIEND COMPOSER software, you can create interactive, easy-to-understand 3D assembly instructions. Users can view 3D components individually and generate animations that explain each step of the process in a simple way. The tools and aids required for each step of the process can be displayed. All you need is your 3D CAD product data. You can easily transfer drawings, images, and additional information from your previous 2D instructions.
The software is designed so that employees in development, work preparation, and production can create effective assembly instructions as quickly and successfully as possible, even without prior knowledge of 3D. The assembly instructions can be adapted to the individual needs of your employees. For an efficient workflow, we connect ASSEMBLY FRIEND to your PDM, ERP, or DMS. Assembly instructions for variants can be created semi-automatically, saving time.
