9 Why do we use Rulestream? Customer & Hardware Requirements Equipment Industry and Application Page 9

10 Has this ever happened to you? Struggled to maintain design consistency and best practices in Solid Edge Overwhelmed with rules and design standards Lost valuable knowledge when a Subject Matter Expert leaves the company Wondered how to simply automate your Engineered to Order (ETO) processes Image source: easysmallbusinesshr.com Page 10 Image source:

11 Intro to Rulestream Benefits Rapid response for proposal designs Massive reduction in engineering time 6 to 10 days of drafting complete in minutes Design consistency means fewer errors Knowledge retention Improved quality Promotes core products Page 11

12 Intro to Rulestream Enables efficient and powerful automation of Engineer to Order Applications Page 12 Image source: Siemens Rulestream Essentials Training Reference Guide

13 Intro to Rulestream 4 Parts 1. Architect User interface for capturing and managing the properties and processes 2. Engineer Client that pushes user s inputs through the rules in order to generate a custom output (2D or 3D CAD, reports, analysis, BOMs, etc.) 3. Sales Client similar to engineer that allows sales people to generate proposals and quotes 4. Platform Server Relational database storage for the components, processes, rules, and requirements Page 13
