Automation tools for the complex products you sell to the market. You don't have to sacrifice what's possible just to have something that's simple to use.

"The D3 team is extremely helpful in taking the customer through the early specification process to help define how it should be modeled for the final desired outcome. When you have ideas they listen and "imagineer" solutions, when you are not sure what you want, they provide you well thought out options." - Ruler Customer

Available Options

Option 1

Drawing Output Only

Option 2

Model Creation & Drawing Output

Option 3

CPQ or ETO Configuration for Design and Estimation

Option 1: Drawing Output Only

Overview:

  • Whether you are a Configure-to-order or Engineer-to-order company, you share a common problem of wanting fast and accurate drawing outputs.
  • Rules engines can help create models faster, but drawing output can still be an obstacle/bottleneck.
  • If you are tasked to take models further & faster, but not quite ready to invest in a full configurator, you can still get a very fast ROI by generating automated drawing outputs:
    • Accurate Drawings
    • Reduce engineering time
    • Drawings to production faster
  • Take the initial step to automate drawing output.

How It Works:

  • You configure the model using an Inventor or Solidworks Model
  • Leverage iLogic or DriveWorks to speed up the modeling configuration
  • Use Ruler.Draw to get your drawings (On Premise or Cloud based)
  • Draw knows how to interpret the positional reference data seamlessly to get the drawings you want
  • Configuring the drawing report
  • Using your standards
  • Using your Title Block

Benefits:

  • Speed to output – Days to minutes
  • On Premise or Cloud Based – Cloud removes need to have CAD on your local machine (Your Internal Sales Team or External Partners can simply use the web interface as example)
  • Once you solve outputs…scale your solution using Ruler to drive design and estimating

Option 2: Model Creation & Drawing Output

Overview:

  • Whether you are a Configure-to-order or Engineer-to-order company, you share a common problem of wanting fast and accurate project specific Model Creation and Drawing Outputs.
  • You may have a pricing tool but lack the capability to create project specific model and/or drawing output.
  • Or, maybe you are using a CAD rules engine to assist with model creation and rules definition, but lack the consistency or capability to automate further across different product lines
  • Or, maybe you are ready to start taking steps towards a full configurator, but not sure how to begin.
  • Ruler Model can bolt onto a CPQ tool help you generate automated project specific models and drawing outputs in a phased approach to:
    • Reduce engineering time
    • Create Models
    • Produce Accurate Drawings
    • Get Drawings to manufacturing faster
    • Take the initial step to automate drawing output

How It Works:

  • Model takes data input from some system and applies that to model rules to generate fully defined parametric models with Inventor or Solidworks
  • Can check those into a Vault for storage
  • Use Ruler.Draw to get your drawings (On Premise or Cloud based)
  • Draw knows how to interpret the positional reference data seamlessly to get the drawings you want
  • Configuring the drawing report
  • Using your standards
  • Using your Title Block

Benefits:

  • Project Specific outputs can be generated from the Estimating system
  • Engineering can focus on the hard things when needed and the system does the bulk
  • Once you solve outputs…scale your solution using the full Ruler platform for front to back sales design and estimating for CPQ or ETO Configuration

Option 3: CPQ or ETO Configuration for Design and Estimation

Overview:

  • Whether you are a Configure-to-order or Engineer-to-order company, you share a common problem of wanting fast Quotes and accurate project specific Model Creation and Drawing Outputs.
  • You may have a pricing tool but sales cannot create project specific model and/or drawing outputs without engineering…just to estimate.
  • Or, maybe you are using a CAD rules engine to assist with model creation and rules definition, but lack the consistency or capability to automate further across different product lines
  • Or, maybe you are ready to start taking steps towards a full configurator, but not sure how to begin.
  • The Ruler platform is a complete tool set that allows for custom UI’s, interactive model viewers, complete integration to master data systems all to drive outputs for sales and engineering:
    • Lower cost of sale for estimating and quoting
    • Increase customer satisfaction and win rate
    • Reduce engineering time
    • Create accurate Models and Drawings
    • Do it from any where for all levels of users

How It Works:

  • Ruler is a platform allowing for custom user interfaces to be set up to model todays manual workflows so users can drive it from anywhere
  • Bring your engineering and sales rules to the front of the process to simplify quoting or estimating
  • Ruler can integrate with your ERP or CRM or Vault system to further automate workflows
  • Model takes captured input from the system and applies that to model rules to generate fully defined parametric models with Inventor or Solidworks
  • Can check those into a Vault for storage
  • Use Ruler.Draw to get your drawings (On Premise or Cloud based)
  • Draw knows how to interpret the positional reference data seamlessly to get the drawings you want
  • Configuring the drawing report
  • Using your standards
  • Using your Title Block

Benefits:

  • Accurately design or configure solutions from anywhere and estimate without needing to engage engineering
  • Once the sale is won, the system can automate the outputs for engineering, purchasing and production
  • Outpace the competition in speed, quality and accuracy
  • Increase your win rate and margins
  • Weeks down to minutes
