With a passion in developing innovative and sustainable solutions for a wide range of energy needs, Aarbakke Innovation work with their clients throughout the full product life cycle.
“Implementing Cadasio has streamlined our workflow by making the creation of assembly instructions faster and more impactful. This has not only saved valuable time but also improved the overall quality of our project deliverables.”
Part of this involves creating clear and concise technical documentation, often assembly instructions, which traditionally had been a time-consuming task that often resulted in documentation that went unused. They found that their previous approach was not only inefficient but also failed to deliver the desired outcomes for projects, so the team started to look for alternative solutions. As a fast-moving and independent engineering company, founded on the principles of innovation and entrepreneurialism, finding a tool that embodies and supported this ethos was critical.
Given their diverse client base, it is necessary to utilise multiple CAD systems, with Autodesk Inventor and Onshape both being relied upon throughout the design and development process. It was therefore important to find a solution that was compatible with both systems. Cadasio emerged as the ideal choice, boasting add-ins for leading CAD applications and seamlessly integrating into their workflow.
Head of Technology, Eirik Undheim, explained how they initially found Cadasio. “Our discovery of Cadasio came through OnShape’s add-in page. It stood out as an innovative solution that could significantly reduce the time spent on creating assembly instructions while delivering a far superior result. This efficiency and quality improvement made Cadasio the clear choice for us”.
Implementing Cadasio has streamlined Aarbakke Innovations workflow by making the creation of assembly instructions faster and more impactful. This has not only saved valuable time but also improved the overall quality of their project deliverables.
When asked how Cadasio has helped and what sort of impact it has had on their process, Eirik remarked “The adoption of Cadasio has led to a significant reduction in the time required to create assembly instructions, with projects now moving forward quicker and more efficiently, the improvement in efficiency and client feedback has been remarkable.”
“The ability to quickly create and share digital assembly procedures directly from our CAD models has been transformative. Cadasio's user-friendly platform has made it easier for us to produce more effective and interactive instructions, enhancing the clarity and understanding of our product assemblies.”
For Eirik, one unexpected benefit from implementing Cadasio has been the enhanced engagement from clients and team members with the digital assembly instructions. “The interactive nature of Cadasio's outputs has made it easier for all stakeholders to understand and engage with our designs.” A recent notable success was the rapid approval of a complex design thanks to the clear, interactive assembly instructions created with Cadasio. This efficiency not only expedited project timelines but also reduced the need for physical prototypes.
Encouraged by the transformative impact of Cadasio on their own operations, Aarbakke Innovation intend to extend its benefits to their clientele through offered services.
