Case Study: Rodenberg Türsysteme achieves faster, error-free door design automation with Tacton Design Automation and Lino

Design Automation for one-off fabrications

Rodenberg Türsysteme AG, a manufacturer of highly customized door systems, faced a significant challenge in efficiently designing its vast array of custom-made products. The complex, rule-based adjustments required for each unique door involved extensive manual CAD work in SolidWorks, leading to long processing times and an increasing number of human errors as order volumes grew. To solve this, they partnered with vendor Lino GmbH and implemented Tacton Design Automation (TDA).

The solution from Lino GmbH and Tacton automated the design process, using rule-based logic to dynamically generate custom door models in seconds instead of minutes. This resulted in time savings of up to 90% for complex products and virtually eliminated manual errors. The investment paid for itself within one year, while the automation also allowed for unattended order processing and direct generation of CNC data for manufacturing.
