Every industry has its own requirements, and every company uses optimised processes. Standard CAD tools find it difficult to adapt to every process and deliver functions for every challenge. This leads to media breaks, manual rework, project delays, increased costs and quality risks. This creates a need for tailor-made CAD solutions that map industry-specific tasks, efficiently support processes and ensure sustainable results.

Customised CAD software for special challenges

Many companies are successful because they focus on a specific industry or a clearly defined niche. Their processes are unique, as are the requirements they place on their planning tools. Individually tailored CAD solutions in combination with intelligent web applications now accompany the entire design process. They ensure consistent data and greater efficiency from the initial customer meeting to the completion of technical design. Standard software quickly reaches its limits in this area. 

To close this gap, the experienced CAD software provider CAD Schroer has been developing solutions for decades that have proven themselves in a wide variety of projects and are tailored precisely to the needs of customers. Even minor functional enhancements enable significant automation in the design process. Many companies go one step further and rely on end-to-end automation. This includes variant configuration and the automatic generation of all project-related CAD documents at the touch of a button.

Automation as a competitive advantage

"The customised enhancement of our CAD solutions has noticeably increased productivity for many of our customers," explains Thomas Klug, Technical Director at CAD Schroer, a specialist in customised CAD software. "Even small adjustments have a big impact. This success is reflected in significantly shorter project lead times." 

A practical example is a special solution for pipeline construction. Here, the course of the pipelines is analysed and optimised in the CAD system based on existing GPS data. The system then automatically creates a precise 3D model, including all the data required for correct pipe production . Design is fully automated, including transfer to GPS-controlled construction machinery.

Online configurators optimise sales

End-to-end automation also includes sales and creates additional advantages. Online configurators are available in the form of forms or interactive 3D web applications. They capture customer-specific requirements directly and thus form the basis for CAD-supported quotations. Technical drawings or BOMs are then generated fully automatically. Sales staff do not need any support from the design department for this. From the enquiry to the quotation to the creation of all technical documentation, the entire process remains efficient, transparent and independent of technical resources.

Flexible, scalable and precisely tailored to every industry

Whether in mechanical engineering, plant engineering or conveyor technology, CAD Schroer's customisable CAD solutions meet even the most specific requirements. Existing system landscapes can be seamlessly integrated using the appropriate interfaces. This enables companies to establish consistent digital and automated processes. "Our software is not a static product, but a dynamic and adaptable tool. It can be tailored precisely to our customers' requirements," explains Thomas Klug. "This transforms CAD software into a cross-departmental, integrated platform that supports the entire project planning process."

Discover customised CAD solutions

No two companies or products are alike. That's why the path to the optimally tailored CAD solution begins with an open discussion. CAD Schroer's experts advise on which functions are crucial in each individual case and how existing processes can be digitally supported. This results in customised solutions that are precisely tailored to the respective industry. A coordinated package of software, extensions, training and service provides companies with everything they need for successful projects.

Summary: Customised 2D/3D CAD solutions automate processes in engineering and sales and can be flexibly adapted to any industry and existing systems.
