Case Study: VAK Oy (Nordic transport equipment manufacturer) achieves major time savings and fewer design errors with Tacton Design Automation

Maximizing Time-to-Value with Tacton Design Automation

Vak Oy, founded in 1972 and employing over 500 people, is a Finnish market leader in temperature‑controlled transport equipment. Its products are highly customized and assemblies can include up to ~1,000 parts, making matching components and avoiding construction errors extremely difficult and time-consuming without 3D CAD.

By integrating Tacton Design Automation with SolidWorks, Vak automated routine design tasks, introduced 3D modeling and modularization, and enabled last‑minute customer changes. The result: major time savings, far fewer design errors and rejected parts, reduced engineering changes in production, simpler after‑sales and spare‑parts processes, and freed designers to focus on innovation; Vak will next use Tacton to support sales bid calculations.
