Automation

In today’s fast moving product environment, companies are often faced with complex design situations. It is critical that companies integrate design, process, and systems to minimize cost impacts from errors. Automation of repetitive tasks through CAD customization, knowledge-based engineering, or Robotic Process Automation can help increase through-put and minimize errors.​

NEED FOR AUTOMATION
There are mundane tasks in every design process that designers don’t want to do repetitively. Such tasks can be automated to ease the designer’s frustration.​ Some of the design tasks are time-consuming and can be run in batch mode, without any manual intervention. Such tasks are automated to run overnight leading to huge time savings for the designer.​ These time savings can be compounded across tasks and departments creating a huge win in the larger organizational layout of a company.
