S&C Electric Company Uses aPriori for Product Cost Management

By DE Editors

S&C Electric Company has selected the aPriori product cost management software platform to enable its design engineers to manage product costs more effectively throughout the design process.

The Chicago-based company designs and manufactures switching and protection products for electric power transmission and distribution. The software will provide its engineers with real-time, detailed cost analysis throughout the design cycle to avoid unnecessary costs before products and parts go into production.

The software is a costing engine that is able to determine the cost of a part or product from a CAD model, based on the materials to be used and the factory where it will be produced. As design changes are made, aPriori automatically re-assesses the design and provides an updated product cost in real time.
