Oasis Trailers Use DriveWorksXpress to Save Time & Focus on Important Tasks
Using DriveWorksXpress has enabled Oasis Trailers to work 4 times faster
Oasis Trailer Mfg Ltd has been manufacturing custom trailers in Rolling Hills, Canada since 2006.
Before Implementing DriveWorks
Oasis Trailers create a specification form for each of their products individually. Before DriveWorksXpress this would be 20 minutes of repetitive work.
Using DriveWorksXpress, they have cut this time down to just 5 minutes at most.
Oasis Trailers builds mostly custom trailers and focus on custom welding. Draftsman, Jake Loewen has been using DriveWorksXpress for over a year and has implemented the software to create correct manufacturing drawings for the axles. He tells us how they have been using DriveWorksXpress to speed up their design process.
One Simple Form Creates an Automated Design Process
Using DriveWorksXpress, Oasis Trailers have created a simple form where they enter three inputs. These inputs automate the requirements for the Hub Face, the Spring Center and the Wheel Options of the axles.
Oasis Trailers have also taken advantage of the different form building options in DriveWorksXpress, using both the drop-down and spin button feature.
Each time a new specification is entered on the form, DriveWorksXpress works in the background to calculate the rules and drive the SOLIDWORKS model.
When setting up the projects, Jake took advantage of the free DriveWorksXpress resources, such as the DriveWorksXpress Training and Certification and the DriveWorksXpress Getting Started Webinar to advance his knowledge of the software.
Working Efficiently
One of the ways Oasis Trailers have increased efficiency is by storing all of their rules within DriveWorksXpress, so their engineers don’t need to remember them all.
Saving Time
Oasis Trailers is saving both time and effort with the benefits of DriveWorksXpress, enabling them to work faster and focus time on more important tasks.
Activate to Automate
DriveWorksXpress is included free inside every license of SOLIDWORKS desktop.
