Case Study: ILLIG Maschinenbau achieves faster tool design and greater production variability with Lino and Tacton Design Automation

Tacton Design Automation supports variability in manufacturing

ILLIG Maschinenbau, a leading provider of thermoforming equipment, faced a challenge in its manufacturing process due to the concurrent use of two different CAD systems and an outmoded configuration solution. This setup posed a significant obstacle to developing and configuring their complex tools and machines. The company sought a vendor to help unify their processes on a modern platform and chose to work with Lino.

Lino implemented a solution that integrated a unified CAD system with Tacton Design Automation configuration software. This provided ILLIG with a single, intuitive system that drastically cut design times and gave them greater independence with a rule set they could maintain themselves. The successful rollout has led to plans for further automation, including enabling customers to generate their own configurations online using Tacton's web solution.
