In an increasingly customized and competitive industry, transportation manufacturers need to streamline processes and maximize sales. Industry challenges include complex configuration demands, the cost and availability of resources, regulatory compliance, and maintaining efficiency in design and production processes. Transportation manufacturers use DriveWorks to streamline their manufacturing and sales processes, enabling them to operate more efficiently and competitively.

Waimea, based in New Zealand, manufacture specialist utility vehicles. Their vehicles are used across a range of industries, including power & energy, forestry, and road & traffic. Their product line includes 30 combinations of trucks and equipment, each with long lists of build materials. Using DriveWorks, Waimea manage complex configurations with ease.

Industrial component manufacturers produce highly customized items, varying 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.

Every month, the DriveWorks team hosts a series of webinars designed to help you explore and learn more about the benefits of DriveWorks technology. Perfect for newcomers, whether you’re discovering the possibilities of DriveWorks technology or looking for essential tips to kickstart your project. Throughout September, some of our DriveWorks resellers around the world are also running in-person events where you can learn more about DriveWorks. Find out what’s coming up.

Manufacturing is one of the industries leading the way in the adoption of AI technologies. Drivers of AI adoption include increased efficiency and cost savings. In our latest blog, we explore some of the different AI technologies used in the manufacturing sector and the practical ways that AI is making a difference to manufacturing processes.

Manufacturing for the architectural and building components industry means dealing with complex, custom designs every day. Resilient Structures (RS) engineers and manufactures composite utility structures for electric distribution and use DriveWorks to streamline their design and testing process and automatically generate drawings and BOMs.

DriveWorks Drivers is a quarterly virtual networking and knowledge-sharing initiative designed to connect DriveWorks users worldwide. It’s more than just a meeting – it’s a community where you can discuss challenges, explore solutions, and celebrate successes. We will be hosting the next DriveWorks Drivers meeting on Thursday, September 4th at 11am AEST and 3pm BST. Find out what’s on the agenda at the next Drivers meeting.

DriveWorks is used by architectural components manufacturers in countries all over the world. DriveWorks design automation, 3D product configurator, and CPQ solutions enable manufacturers to automate complex engineering design tasks, maintain quality standards, and deliver customized products quickly. Learn more about how Weiland Doors automatically generates custom SOLIDWORKS® models, shop drawings, and BOMs in minutes with DriveWorks.

Celebrate 25 years of DriveWorks – join us for a year of celebrations and reflections. Whilst our official birthday is the 1st of February, with this being such a significant milestone, we’ll be celebrating our achievements all year. This is the first in a series of blogs celebrating 25 years of DriveWorks. From a CAD automation program in 2001, DriveWorks design automation, 3D product configurator, and CPQ for manufacturing solutions now makes a difference for manufacturers all over the world.

As product complexity continues to grow, relying on spreadsheets and traditional manufacturing workflows is unsustainable. CPQ for manufacturing enables accurate configuration and quoting of custom products. With streamlined design and sales processes, manufacturers manage complex configurations without compromising accuracy, efficiency, or customer satisfaction.

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.
