IronCAD is announcing that Van Keulen Interieurbouwhas standardised on IronCAD for the designer of retail store fixtures, automated checkouts, and customer guidance systems.
IronCAD, LLC is announcing that Van Keulen Interieurbouw, one of Europe's leading designers and manufacturer of retail store fixtures, automated checkouts, and customer guidance systems, has standardised their design department on IronCAD.
Van Keulen will use IronCAD to design components within their entire product line, which contains over 30,000 products.
These products are shipped throughout Europe to all leading retail establishments.
In order to make their products better and more competitive Van Keulen looked to upgrading their existing 3D design software.
After an evaluation period of more than a year and extensive testing of all major 3D design systems Van Keulen chose IronCAD because of the substantial productivity gains seen when using the software.
IronCAD's freedom architecture allows designers at Van Keulen to quickly and easily design products in a constraint free environment.
This way of designing has allowed Van Keulen to see more than a 20% productivity gain when compared to their existing design software.
"Van Keulen's decision to expand its IronCAD installation to 25 licenses further proves that IronCAD's freedom architecture is the best approach to design available in the market today," says Steve McGuinness, director of international sales.
"Van Keulen's design team creates industry leading, high quality products at competitive prices.
"With IronCAD they will be able to continue this tradition well into the future".
"We have four years of experience with IronCAD by both our daughter company SBM Systems and our design department, here at Nijverdal," says Rene Hollegien, Van Keulen Interieurbouw IT supervisor.
"After a concentrated investigation we have made the decision to use IronCAD in all departments.
"IronCAD allows us to quickly visualise our ideas and produce designs much faster.
"The data in the 3D IronCAD model allows us to make direct connections with our existing CAD-CAM production software.
"The very fast learning curve and the always present enthusiasm of the IronCAD users at the Van Keulen Company were also an important reason for our choice of IronCAD".
IronCAD's Dutch reseller Anvil SSE has supported Van Keulen throughout the entire decision process and will offer training, implementation, and ongoing support.
