Where configuration is the product
Manufacturing CPQ looks different in machinery, HVAC, pumps, electrical equipment, vehicles, medical devices, agriculture and material handling. The useful questions are which parameters, which constraints, which BOM and which engineering outputs.
Industry pages will stay specific. They will not be a generic CPQ article with the sector name replaced.
Industrial machinery
Frames, duty classes, options, specials and dealer configuration. High variant counts and mixed CTO/ETO are common.
HVAC
Airflow, static pressure, coils, filtration, voltage and controls. Configuration often sits next to selection software and drawings.
Pumps and valves
Hydraulics, materials, seals, drives and standards. Invalid combinations are a technical problem, not a catalog problem.
Electrical equipment
Ratings, enclosures, form factors, switchgear and documentation packages.
Medical equipment
Configured systems with regulatory documentation, options and service parts discipline.
Automotive / specialty vehicles
Chassis, bodies, powertrains and option constraints across dealer and factory processes.
Construction equipment
Attachments, hydraulics, regional standards and production variants.
Agriculture
Implements, power, widths and seasonal configuration through dealer networks.
Material handling
Spans, loads, environments and system-level configuration across conveyors, cranes and storage.
