Configure-to-Order (CTO) Products
The product has been designed with a fixedset of variations.
All components generally already have beenassigned a part number.
In most cases there is no engineering time
required to fulfill the specific product order. Products may have some automated one off
personalization elements.

Engineer-to-Order (ETO) Products
Products have established rules that requireinputs to create infinite product variations.
There are often components that specific tothe one single product order.
There is often engineering required per each
order and is often automated. Product order often result in one off product
designs.

ASC - Case Study
A typical autoclave can take even anexperienced engineer up to 16 weeks todesign and model. With the help
Autodesk Intent, we can reduce thattimeline to just a few hours.
Dave MasonPresident
ASC Process Systems
United States
ChallengeTo handle the complexity of designing and building autoclaves quickly andefficiently, ASC needed to automate its engineering and design processwith Autodesk Intent.
Results
Enabled users to validatedesign and engineeringdecisions as they worked,minimizing the need forphysical prototypes.
Reduced autoclave designtime from 16 weeks to onlyhours.
Enabled engineers to spendtheir time improving theproduct as opposed tomodeling.

Evans Consoles - Case Study
Challenge
Results
To achieve double-digit growth and stay ahead of the competition, EvansConsoles needed to accelerate and simplify the concept-to-manufactureprocess of its design automation programs.
Doubled sales and tripled thecompanys opportunity listwithin 12 months.
Slashed design time fromweeks to only minutes.
Vastly improvedcommunication betweendesign engineers and theshop floor.
Autodesk Inventor Automation helped usimprove our bottom line by allowing us to
provide real-time quotations to customersand get products out to the marketplacewithout adding new designers. In fact, ourbusiness has literally doubled in the last 12months and our headcount has remainedrelatively the same .

Add rule: The Add Rule command enables you to add a rule to your model ininventor
Rule Browser: The Rule Browser command shows all rules applied in thecurrent document
Event Triggers : The Event Triggers command helps you enable or disable therules applicable for events.
iTrigger : iTrigger is a user parameter you can use to activate rules manually. Itcan execute one or more rules
Regenerate All Rules : This command helps you synchronize the parameters inthe rules with your model.
Delete All Rules : This command deletes all the rules associated with yourmodel. This is ideally used after configuring the model to export a sampleconfiguration.
