Fixing Field Failures Without Production Delays
Treknocom Helps European Agricultural OEM Resolve Boom Arm Failure with Smart Redesign
Introduction

The client had launched a new sprayer model, but repeated failures in the boom arm raised structural concerns. A root cause analysis and design correction were needed urgently—without disrupting production timelines or tooling.

The Challenge
  • Recurring field failures across multiple units
  • Committed production schedules
  • Minimal change tolerance to preserve tooling and fit-up
  • Need for rapid redesign, validation, and release
The Solution

Treknocom deployed a product re-engineering team to resolve the issue.

  • Mapped failure zones using field data and photos
  • Simulated existing design conditions using FEA
  • Identified weak zones and iterated on redesigns
  • Updated the CAD model with minimal integration impact
  • Validated revised geometry through simulation
  • Supported field validation without pausing production
Technology Stack
  • SolidWorks – For CAD modeling and design modifications
  • Nastran – For stress simulation and structural validation
Result
  • Field failures eliminated
  • Production schedules remained intact
  • No tooling or manufacturing disruptions
  • Improved product reliability and client satisfaction
