Radan - eQuote

eQuote is an automated cost estimation and quotation system for sheet metal parts. It offers simplicity and unprecedented ease-of-use, while utilising an advanced manufacturing operations modeling engine to produce reliable and consistent results.

eQuote is fully integrated within Radan and is available as an optional module to augment any of our systems. It can be used to generate estimates of any sheet metal part regardless of origin, making it as easy to cost imported parts as one modeled and unfolded in Radan 3D.

Every manufacturing organisation is different and works in a different way. eQuote is designed to accommodate your unique setup by enabling complete configuration of all material and operation costs. Out of the box, example operations are provided within eQuote to support a complete range of sheet metal manufacturing operations such as punching, laser cutting and folding, but you can create additional operations of your own to suit your needs.

eQuote enables overheads to be modelled and attributed to parts in a variety of ways and also allows additional operations such as painting, deburring or welding to be added.

Integration

eQuote is tightly integrated to the Radan system to provide a seamless process between part preparation and estimating and quotation. Activating eQuote on the current part initiates the analysis process and starts the eQuote module where manufacturing operations can be reviewed and the cost estimate calculated.

Automation

Using eQuote is easy. The eQuote command button is available within Radan’s part editor and once activated, the process runs completely automatically.

With a complete manufacturing operations model, eQuote is able to calculate the part cost and instantly provide a complete operations breakdown report and cost analysis. The analysis shows you exactly how the cost estimate was generated. This means that you can be confident about the part cost produced and it also enables meaningful adjustments to be made to global parameters and costs.

Finally, eQuote can generate a printed quotation in a flexible format by automatically accessing and merging customer information from its database.
