Lino 3D layout

A brochure with high-gloss photos appears complete until the customer asks for the variant with a different drive, different housing, and a different connection position. At that point, it becomes clear that the image represented only one out of hundreds of possible configurations.

How STEIN Automation digitized its layout planning with Lino® 3D layout, Lino® 2D fix, and Tacton® Design Automation to win customers faster.

Up until just recently, Seydelmann KG only used 2D layout plans in the beginning of project. This manufacturer of food production equipment was looking for a leading-edge solution that enables more flexible and attractive sales presentations. Seydelmann expected Lino® 3D layout to give them a major technological boost – but what they got was a whole lot more.

SOMIC’s packaging machines have an excellent reputation – particularly in the food industry. In order to attain a comparable level in the quotation process, the company implemented Lino® 3D layout for layout planning. Using this fully integrated add-in for Solidworks®, SOMIC can now generate attractive, technically sophisticated 3D plant layouts in record time.

Packaging machines without control cabinets or modular machines – Gerhard Schubert GmbH from Crailsheim has always had a sense for special solutions. The company is constantly on the lookout for new technology-leading approaches to optimize its business processes. Configuration software from Tacton Systems was identified as a tried and tested means of achieving this. Configuration specialist Lino supports Schubert in this area.
