Process Automation in Mechanical Engineering: How Companies Are Removing Manual Routine from Design

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,....

System Integration: The Difference Between Point Solutions and End-to-End Continuity

Why many manufacturers still transfer part numbers and BOMs by hand between CAD, PDM, and ERP – and what that manual work really costs engineering teams.

Still Planning Facility Layouts on 2D Floor Plans? You Are Risking the Contract!

Why abstract 2D floor plans become a costly competitive disadvantage in plant engineering – and how 3D layout planning prevents assembly surprises.
Design Automation with Lino
TECHNICAL ARTICLE

Three days to build a variant that a rule set could have generated in minutes. Why manual design processes are no longer defensible.

Any manufacturer still asking its engineers to model standard variants by hand and type metadata into a PDM system one field at a time is not wasting money. It is wasting engineering judgement. That distinction matters.
3D model simplification with Lino Simplify
LINO SIMPLIFY

Manual 3D model simplification isn’t a process. Its a waste of resources.

Anyone who still removes screws, holes, and internal assemblies manually from a SolidWorks model before sending it to a supplier is paying a price—in terms of labor hours, the risk of errors, and tied-up engineering capacity. This process can be automated. And there’s no good reason to wait.
