Case Study: Produktställ achieves automated assembly-instruction production — cutting time from 3 hours to 15 minutes with SolidWorks Composer (SolidWorks)

Automating production of display assembly instructions with SolidWorks Composer

Produktställ AB, a Swedish maker of custom in-store displays serving customers like Thule, Black & Decker and Nestlé, faced a production bottleneck: creating mounting and assembly instructions manually (via Adobe Illustrator) was slowing delivery and limiting designers’ ability to support sales as the company grew ~30% annually. To address this, Produktställ evaluated and adopted SolidWorks tools, notably SolidWorks Composer, to automate documentation.

By implementing SolidWorks Composer, Produktställ reduced assembly-instruction development from three hours to about 15 minutes, increased Design Group efficiency by 70–80%, and improved the quality and reach of sales presentations—helping accelerate deliveries and support the company’s 30% annual growth. SolidWorks Composer also enabled earlier completion of documentation and new multimedia capabilities (3D visuals and animations) for future online and international use.
