Fläkt Woods take the principles of a leading configuration system and apply them to a 3D CAD design program. The result: efficient designs in minutes, rather than days.

Stockholm, Sweden - January 30, 2007- Tacton Systems, global vendor of configuration software, announced today that Fläkt Woods has implemented TactonWorks to streamline their design-to-order process. Fläkt Woods is a leading designer and manufacturer of air conditioning and ventilation solutions. The company's expertise can be found in a wide range of industrial applications, including cooling, filtration, heat recovery, diffusion, fire safety and ventilation.
Fläkt Woods has identified two key user groups for TactonWorks. The first group is the designers who will use the solution to make their design-to-order work more efficient. The company will also enable their sales team to generate eDrawings and downloadable files (3D models and 2D CAD drawings) of the company's products when they configure fans on the web.
TactonWorks is a SolidWorks add-in, which runs the powerful Tacton Configurator engine inside the SolidWorks user interface, next to the assembly document. Users can easily create optimal configurations of highly complex products, and automatically generate complete SolidWorks assemblies and drawings on the fly. As soon as the user changes a requirement, the assembly is immediately updated in the same window, making it easy to directly view the consequence of each change in 3D.
"TactonWorks allows us to speed up and improve the consistency of the design-to-order work," says Paul Hunter, Engineering Systems Manager at Flakt Woods in Essex, UK. "We can now automate a vast proportion of the 3D modeling phase, and streamline the process of bringing the design to production."
