Lower cost and faster production

Lower service cost
Volvo Parts is responsible for supplying spare parts to the Volvo Group and workshops. They supply aftermarket manuals, software for vehicle diagnostics and standard times for servicing. Everything serves to raise up-time and lower service costs.

Volvo IT has been closely involved in increasing the efficiency of Volvo Parts activities within verification and analysis of serviceability.

Saves time
With Volvo IT's Digital Mock-up solution, which involves transferring CAD models from a multi-CAD environment and converting them into a neutral format, Volvo Parts can enter the product's life cycle at an early stage - an advantage as products are developed at an increasing pace.

Enables a range of simulations
A digital mock-up is a virtual version of a product that makes it possible to create a range of simulations, covering product development and manufacturing as well as aftermarket needs.

The solution reduces the dependency on physical prototypes. Also, product problems can be seen, worked through and resolved at an early stage in the lifecycle.
