巴西石化公司Braskem已经采用了法语3D软件启动Spare Parts 3D’s（SP3D的）Digipart计划，以帮助优化其库存供应链。
Working with SP3D in a pilot project earlier this year, Braskem utilized its DigiPart software to filter through the value, Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and lead time data of its spare part inventory. In total, the company was able to assess the necessity of 15,000 components, and identified 47 percent of these as surplus to requirements.
In future, Braskem aims to leverage the technology to manage its supply of emergency parts, and to reduce its expenditure on holding heavy amounts of stock.
“One of the important elements we needed [in the project], was the capacity to have a reliable potential estimate based on a representative subset of our spare parts in a relatively short amount of time,” said Alexandre Pintor da Luz, Project Coordinator at Braskem. “Spare Part 3D’s additive manufacturing know-how, coupled with DigiPart’s efficiency, were key to the success of our project. We are looking forward to scaling the project to the next phase.”
备件3D的工作流优化软件
SP3D是一家法国3D打印软件启动，它提供了一套程序，旨在帮助客户以更具成本效益的方式识别，数字化和3D打印备件。该公司与各个部门的公司合作，并协助他们减少了过时的零件的存储，并减少了关键组件的交货时间。
At present, SP3D’s software offering is broken down into three different stages of business development including targeting, deploying and scaling services, as well as those for on-demand manufacturing. DigiPart, meanwhile, is the company’s flagship system, and it’s specifically designed to help 3D printing companies build an end-to-end digital spare parts inventory.
The software is built around a three-phase process, beginning with a scan that identifies and maps out any parts that are 3D printable. In the second stage, the system recommends the optimal materials and technologies to create the components with, and in the final step, the part is printed out as planned.
Digipart的自动化本质使其具有固有的可扩展性，SP3D还与许多零件提供商建立了合作伙伴关系。结果，用户可以计划他们需要哪些零件，提前订购它们，并通过挨家挨户的服务将组件运送出来。近年来，这种灵活性使创业公司能够与许多跨国客户合作，例如霍尼韦尔和DNVGL,在其他人中。
现在，全球石化公司Braskem已与SP3D联合起来，试图使其供应链更有效，并减少其整体备件支出。
Braskem从提供商转向消费者
Despite the fact that Braskem is reportedly the largest producer of thermoplastics in the Americas, it has turned to another company, SP3D, to optimize its spare part supply chain. The chemical firm identified an opportunity within its American and European businesses earlier this year, to cut down its expenditure related to the storage of heavy industrial parts, and chose to partner with SP3D as a result.
最初，Braskem通过SP3D的软件作为为期八周计划的一部分来测试其功效，并查看该平台是否可以有效地确定其备件清单的潜在可打印性。SP3D的Digipart程序部署了一种独特的功能特异性分析方法，该方法使Braskem在短时间内可以筛选大量资源计划数据。
此外，在SP3D团队及其业务案例决策工具的帮助下，Braskem能够通过根据零件值，订单数量和交货时间查看分析来识别3D可打印零件。这种方法还允许该公司挑选出有希望的组件类别，例如喷嘴，转子或座位，这些类别可能代表将来的商机。
在项目的整个过程中，团队分析了一个完整的15,000个零件子集，将每个组件分为一个可打印性组，并确定了适合印刷的技术。共有7,950个零件被确定为可打印的（或总计的53％），这意味着Braskem并没有浪费任何资源来生产其他47％。
作为该软件功能的最终演示，Braskem在巴西打印了一些具体的零件示例，这证明了可以实现的总体优化水平。SP3D首席运营官Julien Bofill赞扬了这两个团队对该计划的表现的贡献，并强调了企业资源计划（ERP）对供应链成功的重要性。
“巴西的成功项目也是再保险sult of having the right people included from the start,” explained Bofill. “It was necessary to have everyone’s perspective from warehouse, procurement and engineering to get some of the intangible data that you cannot get from the ERP. That intangible data is also fundamental to obtain buy-in of key people on such disruptive projects”.
Digital inventories and spare parts
与模拟方法相比，数字库存使制造商可以更有效地管理其供应链，并且近年来，越来越多的公司“数字化”。
德国铁路公司德意志·巴恩（Deutsche Bahn）（DB）拥有3D打印中最高的数字库存之一，现在已经同意与软件开发人员合作3年建造一个‘digital warehouse’ of parts。使用3 YourMind的AMPI软件，DB能够实现大量节省并减少车辆的停机时间。
