The following changes might impact costing for Digital Factories that use earlier cost model versions.

  • NO IMPACT

Cost Model Changes that Do Not Affect Configured Digital Factories

The following changes do not affect costings with Digital Factories that use earlier cost model versions. The changes are available only in the latest cost model version.

  • Carbon Estimates for Additional Processes: This release estimates carbon emissions (CO2e) for 19 additional Surface Treatment processes:
    • Black Oxide • Degrease
    • Cadmium Plating • Dot Peen
    • Conveyor Abrasive Finishing • Laser Engraving
    • Conveyor Conversion Coating • Mask Bench
    • Conveyor Dry • Mask Spray
    • Conveyor Oven Cure • Oven Cure
    • Conveyor Part Loading • Shot Blast
    • Conveyor Part Unloading • Shot Peen
    • Conveyor Powder Coating • Vibratory Finishing
    • Conveyor Shot Blast

  • Tool Shop Data Updates: Materials incompatible with the Shot Peen process have been removed. The following materials are no longer supported:

    • Aluminum Oxide
    • Aluminum Silicate
    • Calcium Silicate
    • Glass Grit

    • Iron Silicate The following modifications were made for the process Black Oxide: If a user has previously overridden the default Tool Shop material in a process setup option by selecting a material that has been renamed or removed, subsequent costing attempts will fail. To resolve this, users must revert to the default material or select an alternative.

    • Ultra-Blak Rectifier has been removed as this is not a black oxide solution.

    • Birchwood Presto Blak has been renamed to Birchwood Presto Black.

  • Machine Updates: Some machine rated power values have been updated:

    * GARBOLI GPB BELT machine name has been updated to GARBOLI GPS BELT.

    **Proxied using the median Trotec SpeedMarker machine powers.

    ***Binhai Abrator Q484 machine name has been updated to Binhai Abrator Q485.

    Additionally, further updates have been made to other Conveyor Shot Blast machine parameters:

    • Machine length, width, and opening width have been updated for Binhai Arbator Q383, Binhai Arbator Q384, Binhai Arbator Q483, and Binhai Q485.
    • Maximum nesting has been updated for Binhai Q383, Binhai Q384, and Binhai Q485.
    • Shot blasting rate has been updated for Binhai Q483 and Binhai Q485.

    A direct overhead impact assessment has been performed on Surface Treatment processes with updated machine data. Overall, direct overhead costs decreased by an average of 20% for these processes. The Oven Cure and Conveyor Oven Cure processes experienced the most significant decrease in overhead, at 61%.
