Design Automation
What is Design Automation?
Design Automation is the practice of optimizing design & management processes involving your CAD and PDM applications. We use their APIs to intelligently extract data, make decisions, apply rules, and perform operations automatically. Tasks that are good candidates for automation are typically repetitive and often require rule-based decision making. Processes can be automated interactively as an add-in or as a stand-alone batch process.

Why Design Automation?
From batching design activities for overnight processing to automating and standardizing interactive processes, Design Automation techniques can immediately help you realize a significant increase in productivity, enforce standards, and capture and secure your IP for future employees. Efficient design practices, streamlined processes, and excellent communication between software, hardware, sales, management, design, and IT are all benefits of design automation.

Bringing it all together 
With every solution, we provide our knowledge of traditional mechanical engineering and our experience with custom software development. We will work with your design and manufacturing engineers to assist in the capture of processes and knowledge that can be used as the basis for automation and standardization. Additionally, we can help your IT Integrate your design tools into your company operations with web service and database interoperability. Our solutions are scalable from simple, custom add-ins to complete Engineered To Order (ETO) systems.
