n 2005, the supply of after-market parts
was estimated at 400 Billion US Dollars.
This is an important revenue stream for
manufacturers, which could make up to
40 % of an OEM’s profit. However, many
OEMs underestimate the size of the prize
available to them with a well run after-mar-
ket business.
Most manufacturers do not have the capabili-
ties to take advantage of this revenue stream,
and in the majority of cases this becomes an
afterthought once the equipment has been
delivered.
Illustech boasts 27 years’ experience in as-
sisting OEMs to open this important revenue
stream from equipment delivery to after-mar-
ket sales.
With a team of highly trained Technical Illus-
trators and premium software sourced glob-
ally, Illustech is the market leader in the pro-
duction and delivery of Interactive Electronic
Graphical Parts Catalogues and Spare Parts
optimisation.
Using Interactive graphical parts catalogues
helps to find the right part, first time, every
time. They provide correct and timely part in-
formation to a large and geographically dis-
persed network of dealers and operators.
Interactive parts catalogues are a powerful
and easy-to-use solution for manufacturing
plants and asset maintenance organisations,
providing the conduit between the OEM and
the end user.
The key benefits to organisations taking the
necessary step toward cloud-based or digi-
tal applications, mean enabling maintenance
personnel to:
• Rapidly and easily find all parts and
service information
• Reduce asset down-time by increasing
maintenance efficiency
• Order accurately and reduce costs
associated with excess stock
• This in turn equals more money on the
bottom line.
Illustech has the key capability to capture all
information from previous paper-based parts
catalogues and convert them into Interactive
Graphical Electronic Parts Catalogues.
Not only does Illustech redraw illustrations
and exploded views from paper-based parts
catalogues to ensure crisp, clean, updated
illustrations, that can be modified for sup-
plier and end-users in Interactive Graphical
Electronic Parts Catalogues, but it is able to
produce exploded illustrations from 2D en-
gineering drawings, or from photographs to
create comprehensive Interactive Graphical
Electronic Parts Catalogues.
Illustech utilises a database of part numbers
and descriptions sourced from its comprehen-
sive databank of components as well as from
the client’s unique lists in order to maintain
a standard throughout the customer’s cat-
alogues and ensures that all catalogues are
updated accordingly when the part numbers
or descriptions are modified.
Interactive Graphical Electronic Parts Cata-
logues are web based to ensure easy access
for the end user and can be interfaced with an
ERP/EAM system to provide a seamless link
between the OEM and operator.
It’s now easier than ever for an OEM Capi-
tal Equipment suppliers to generate revenue
from their after-market components by ensur-
ing their customers are connected electroni-
cally, to the right part selection.
