The Bottleneck Between Quote and Drawing A customer requests a custom configuration. Sales configures the matching variant that same morning in the CPQ system. And then the waiting begins: in many machine-building companies, it takes engineering two weeks or more […]
A customer requests a custom variant, sales commits to a delivery date, and the design department begins the search for the right CAD model. Weeks pass before the drawing and bill of materials are finished, because every variant is adapted […]
Manufacturing companies invest millions in CAD systems, PDM platforms, and ERP software. And yet an engineer still transfers part numbers and bills of materials by hand from one system to another. This is not an isolated case. It is standard […]
Manual Handoffs Cost More Than Engineering Hours Organizations in mechanical and plant engineering that deal daily with the same product data being maintained separately across CAD, PDM, ERP, and CRM systems know the consequences: errors that propagate through the […]
Yet many companies still deliver abstract 2D floor plans to their customers — plans that capture neither heights nor potential collisions. This is not an expression of efficiency. It is a structural competitive disadvantage — and it is fixable. The […]
The problem has a name: repetitive expertise In special-purpose machinery, in plant engineering, wherever customers order configurable products, the same pattern plays out every day. An engineer with five or ten years of CAD experience opens Autodesk Inventor, reads […]
The problem runs deeper than the file size The 434 MB file isn’t the real problem. The problem is the process behind it: An engineer spends hours manually cleaning up an export model. He selects parts, deletes screws, and considers […]
STEIN Automation GmbH has consistently digitized its installation planning and uses Lino® 3D layout, Lino® 2D fix, and Tacton® Design Automation for this purpose. Design errors are reduced, quotation processes are significantly accelerated, and customers benefit from realistic 3D layouts […]
GC-heat Gebhard GmbH & Co.KG, a specialist in electric heating systems, relies on configuration solutions from Tacton Systems and Lino GmbH. Result: processing time from customer inquiry to quotation has been radically reduced, while data quality has been further optimized […]
Lino GmbH is a project partner in the FORnanoSatellites research cluster, a consortium of four scientific institutions and 14 industrial partners led by Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg. The aim is to research new technologies in order to promote the establishment of […]
