Industrial components manufacturers produce highly customized items. Products often vary in size, material, performance, compliance requirements, and pricing. Complex configurations don’t fit easily into traditional manufacturing processes originally set up for off-the-shelf products. This can lead to bottlenecks and delays in design, quote, and sales cycles. Using DriveWorks, manufacturers automate complex engineering design tasks, shorten sales cycles, improve accuracy, and optimize pricing.

HVAC manufacturers are using DriveWorks design automation & sales configurator software to improve manufacturing and sales processes and be more efficient. Monmouth Scientific manufacture clean air solutions and use DriveWorks to streamline their sales cycle and automatically generate SOLIDWORKS assemblies and drawings.

Design automation significantly reduces manufacturing costs by streamlining workflows, minimizing errors, and speeding up design cycle times. By automating repetitive design tasks, smart manufacturers save time and money while at the same time improving accuracy and quality.

CPQ is a highly effective tool for streamlining the custom manufacturing sales process. CPQ solutions guide sales teams through complex configuration and pricing and automatically generate accurate quotes. Delivering accurate custom quotes with quick turnaround times gives manufacturers the competitive edge to win more deals.

Design automation is designed to handle repetitive, time-consuming tasks, so engineers have more time to focus on higher-value work, such as product development and research. Design automation isn’t taking away jobs; it’s enhancing them. Find out more about how design engineers are using design automation to work smarter, producing more designs in less time, with improved accuracy.

IBR Redutores, based in Brazil, design and manufacture custom gearboxes and motors for machinery and equipment. IBR manufacture a range of product lines with multiple configurations. Using DriveWorks, they generate custom models and drawings with 100% accuracy and have reduced their custom CAD file generation time from 2 days to 10 minutes. Streamlining their design process has also enabled teams across the business to access models.

Free trials offer a valuable opportunity to explore new software and try out technology features. They enable you to test a product without any initial investment or commitment. With hands-on experience, you can evaluate performance, usability, compatibility with your business needs, integration features, and more, all at zero cost and zero risk.

AI is transforming how a wide range of industries operate, delivering smarter ways of working and improved efficiency. In manufacturing, AI technologies deliver multiple business benefits including reduced unplanned downtime, improved quality standards, and optimized design and production processes. The overall impact is an increase in operational efficiency and a reduction in business costs.

Custom machinery products are complex and time-intensive to design. Manufacturers must consistently meet custom specifications and quality standards so they can hit sales targets. DriveWorks design automation, 3D configurator, and CPQ solutions streamline design engineering workflows, ensure quality, and speed up the delivery of custom machinery products.

Lambda functions are a technique that was originally developed in the programming world. In DriveWorks, lambdas are a way to create custom functions to make your rules easier to read and understand without doing any coding. In this blog, we’ll explore how lambda functions work, when to use them, and how to get started with your own DriveWorks Lambdas.
