Huppert Engineering uses TICC
If you don’t keep up with changing times, you will disappear over time!
(Josef Neckermann)
Huppert Engineering takes this slogan literally, introducing the innovative TICC calculation software by R+B GmbH to make a great step into the future. In order to match the growing demands in the area of calculation of quotations, they were looking for a system that would live up to the specific challenges of the engineering office from Hessian Dautphetal. The automotive service provider faces some highly complex 3D drawings even during the quotation phase. Quick reactions are of the essence.

THE IDEA
A few years ago, Huppert Engineering was searching the internet for software that would be able to supply quick, comprehensible and precise calculations based on the CAD data provided by customers from the automotive area in many different formats even during the quotation phase.
THE TASK
What looked like a mammoth task initially very quickly took on a very specific shape. The R+B GmbH, a software company from Dernbach that had been long established on the market, turned out to be a partner able to meet all requirements.
THE SOLUTION
TICC (Time and Cost Calculation) takes a different path then any of the conventional methods used in cost calculation today, evaluating as much information as it can from the 3D models. Combined with the flexible setting options, such as machine, material and cutting parameters, if offers unexpected advantages.
IMPLEMENTATION
Friedhelm Busch, managing director at Huppert Engineering, was able to calculate even the most complex parts from the automotive sector, such as gear housings, after an introduction time of barely twelve weeks (installation, training, independent setup of all necessary parameters). He says that he was able to drastically reduce the time for compiling quotations by introducing TICC. Huppert Engineering loves more than just the time savings. The new software also supplies reliable calculation results that can be verified at any time and by any employee.
RESULT
TICC (Time and Cost Calculation) takes a different path then any of the conventional methods used in cost calculation today, evaluating as much information as it can from the 3D models. Combined with the flexible setting options, such as machine, material and cutting parameters, if offers unexpected advantages.
Introduction of new and innovative software is, of course, always a great step for a company. According to Mr Busch, it is essential that the employees who will work with the product later are willing to accept change. They must be far-sighted enough to understand that we often need to part from the tried and tested methods of the past. Stagnation is the worst that can happen in this industry.
