Speed is no witchcraft. GC-heat Gebhard has experienced this firsthand since they started using Tacton® and Lino® configuration solutions as extensions for Solidworks®. This has allowed the company to reduce its processing time from customer inquiry to finished offer radically!
GC-heat is a family-run company based in Waldbröl that has been manufacturing high-quality electric heating elements for almost 80 years, primarily for the heating of tools as well as liquids and gases, holding a leading position across Europe.
Each year, over 1,500 individual heating element variants are designed, with the experienced team working closely with customers in a detailed Q&A process to clarify requirements and drawing on in-house solutions for electrical feasibility testing.
Secure step-by-step configuration
With Lino and Tacton, GC-heat achieves a secure and automated step-by-step configuration that even immediately reflects spontaneous changes in the system. This relieves sales and engineering from routine tasks and frees up time for specialized products. The gradual development of the rule set and thorough training ensure maximum independence and efficiency. This solution revolutionizes product configuration and allows GC-heat to respond flexibly and quickly to customer requests – an exciting insight into how automation creates real added value.
Automation drives speed
Through automation with Lino 2D fix and Tacton CPQ, GC-heat was able to reduce processing time from customer inquiry to finished offer radically. The extensive automation of up to 70% of all new items also improves data quality and significantly reduces the reject rate. This makes the entire process chain from sales to production more efficient and error-free, providing GC-heat with a clear competitive advantage.
With Tacton CPQ and Software Made by Lino, we have minimized our processing times and massively improved data quality. This benefits both sales and production.
