Industrial automation manufacturer Automated Drive and Design (ADandD) launched a one-of-a-kind product configurator for its popular Pop-Link© Mounting Systems, comprising over 60 individual, configurable parts on their website.

Powered by CADENAS PARTsolutions, the pop-link configurator improves accuracy and simplifies the design process for assembly integrators by providing ease-of-selection, interactive product previews and on-demand 3D CAD downloads. This new tool will also serve as a key sales tool for ADandD’s distributors. 

On-Demand Product Configuration and Assembly

Before launching the Pop-Link© Mounting Systems product configurator, ADandD customers had to download each individual product one piece at a time and build the model on their own. Now, mechanical and assembly integrators can configure, assemble and download a model instantly from ADandD’s website from over 150 native CAD format and versions.

“Mounting systems are now configurable online. Instead of downloading parts piece by piece, our customers can automatically build a model and download the whole assembly, all within the configurator,” says Jake Ronsheim, Engineering Manager at ADandD. “Having that ability plus 3D preview ensures the customer they are downloading the right part, which ultimately improves accuracy in their design process.” 

Instant Product Visualization and Downloads for Distributors

With the distributor-embedded feature through CADENAS PARTsolutions, ADandD’s distributors can also take advantage of the product catalog features. Distributors can embed the Pop-Link© product catalog onto the ADandD product pages, giving their customers an interactive 3D preview and instant CAD downloads.

“This is a sales tool that lets us be on-site and show the different products without physically taking them with us,” says Ronsheim. “This will also be a key sales tool for our distributors.”
