Gauss Engineering Ltda

We are specialists in the development process of capital goods for manufacturing environments. We operate internationally by helping our customers to design and build profitable modular machine families. Our customers are small and medium-sized machine manufacturers, which currently operate as engineering-to-order companies but are willing to shift their operations to configure-to-order strategy. Empirical results show that by adopting our working method, machine manufacturers can reduce up to 25% the manufacturing costs, 64% the lead time, and 43% the time to market, while concurrently increasing the variety of machines offered to the marketplace. Our services include: 1. Consultancy: 1.1. Implementation of reference models for the development process of modular machine families. Design: 2.1. Conceptual design and simulation of modular manufacturing systems; 2.2. Conceptual design of modular machine families; 2.3. Mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical design of modular machine families. Training: 3.1. Module-based machinery design: A method to support the design of modular machine families for reconfigurable manufacturing systems
