NGI A/S is the world leading manufacturer of a wide range of machine feet in stainless steel and reinforced polyamide for adjustment, stabilization and vibration absorption of all types of machines and equipment.
At NGI, my main challenge is to create documents for a lot of parts, and this has proven pretty difficult to do without DriveWorks. – Tomas Hecht Olsen, R&D Manager.
Four years ago we only had what we were selling, and if we sold something new or had a customer asking for something new, they would need a drawing and it would take nearly one day. Today, they can just grab it on the internet, look at it, see the measurements and if they like it, they can have the drawing.
Today we have drawn 15,000 extra products on our website and these drawings are not drawn by engineers, they are drawn by logic and spreadsheets.
Design Automation has an effect on all of the departments at NGI. For example, in marketing we have a very fast upload of drawings, pictures and especially pictures where you have to do a render. It takes time, but we can do that at weekends and we can do hundreds of products at the same time.
On Monday morning, we just upload it to the internet site and we would have photo realistic pictures on all of our products.
When we look at production, automisation has helped us with getting the same DNA in our drawings. Our drawings have the same look, whether its a small part, big part, special part for one thing or another. Theyre drawn the same because theyre drawn from the same rules and regulations.
The engineering department gained a lot of time that we can use on developing new products and innovating new systems. To get that time, we need to get the automation system to do the drawing or the boring work and we do all the fun work, and thats much better for NGI.
My vision for this system is that the customer can get exactly what they want by going to our home page, choosing their product and ordering. Without any engineers involved, the order would go through our ERP system, down to the production, put in the package area and we would just pack it, put a stamp on it and it would be finished. That would be beautiful!
Today we have 15,000 actual products on our website, and those products are not drawn by engineers, they are automatically created by logic and spreadsheets – Tomas Hecht Olsen, R&D Manager.

DriveWorks World 2017 is sponsored by a number of carefully selected technology partners and service providers that add relevance and value to the event.
We’re pleased to announce that Disher Designare sponsoring the event and their Product Design Engineer, Jason Noteboom, will be joining us.
We recently caught up with Jason to find out more about why Disher Design chose tonot only attend, but also sponsor the event.
We have been working with our local DriveWorks Reseller and looking at our existing customer base to identify customers who are interested in learning more about DriveWorks.
DriveWorks World is an absolute blast! I have had the pleasure of attending the last two DriveWorks World events and they both were excellent. There is something for all skill levels and it is always fun to learn something new.
I think the most exciting part of DriveWorks World for me is getting a chance to see new ways you can push the envelope using DriveWorks. Whether its new functionality available in DriveWorks or a customer using DriveWorks in some unique way, its fun to have your mind stretched.
Experiences and excitement. DriveWorks is a lot of fun to use and people all over are using DriveWorks to do some incredible work.
I am looking forward to learning about the new features and functionality in DriveWorks 15.
From my experience, you will learn more at a DriveWorks World than you will at any other conference.
Registration for DriveWorks World 2017 is still open, but places are filling up fast! Head over to www.driveworksworld.com to secure your place.
