Autodesk Engineering Workflow Automation, End to End
Automate the complete engineering process, not just individual tasks. From customer requirements to design, release, documentation, manufacturing and ERP, we connect Autodesk tools and business systems into one reliable workflow.
Automation that follows the whole order
Task automation, such as a drawing macro or a BOM export, saves minutes. Workflow automation saves days. When a customer order moves from sales to engineering to production, it passes through many hand-offs: requirement capture, design, checking, approval, documentation, CNC programming, purchasing and production planning. Each hand-off is a chance for delay or error.
ENGIMANDI maps your engineering workflow from order to delivery, finds the costliest manual steps and automates them across tools. A typical solution combines configurators and design automation in Inventor or AutoCAD, rule checks, Vault release workflows, automatic drawings and neutral files, Fusion CAM and post processing, and ERP transfer of items and BOMs, all monitored in one dashboard.

Workflow automation questions
Where should we start?
With a short workflow assessment. We measure where time is lost and propose a phased roadmap with clear returns.
Do we need to change all our tools?
No. We automate around your existing Autodesk products and business systems.
How long does a typical project take?
A first phase usually takes 6 to 12 weeks, with further phases added as value is proven.
Can workflows include non-Autodesk systems?
Yes. ERP, CRM, MES, e-commerce and custom systems are often part of the workflow.
How do we measure success?
We agree metrics such as engineering lead time, drawing hours and error rates at the start.
