Fujitsu has a history of optimizing the design process for server packaging structures and printed circuit boards to foster innovation in the quality, cost, and delivery (QCD) of equipment development.Enhanced and efficient desktop verification and information and communications technology (ICT) application are essential for reducing person-hours in equipment development.To this end, Fujitsu has been applying computer-aided design (CAD) tools capable of handling actual 3D shapes plus simulation-based analysis in upstream design and development to facilitate desktop verification covering equipment design, assembly, and inspection in mass production and maintenance in the field.This paper describes Fujitsu's current efforts in enhancing desktop design verification by consolidating 3D CAD data for electrical and structural systems, which enables the design and production departments to share manufacturing information by embedding it in 3D CAD data, and by applying 3D CAD data in upstream design to design verification and analysis.It also describes the effects of these initiatives and discusses Fujitsu's future plans for further reforms in equipment development.
