Success Story
Rob is a mechanical engineer who designs various products for his customers in 2D and 3D. He was looking for a party that could not only supply him with Autodesk licenses, but also provides the necessary services in design.
He was recently working on a project for SARIS Aanhangers B.V. This company makes professional trailers of high quality materials. Here, Rob was responsible for the redesign of a closed trailer, CAD-management, drafting the CAD-manual and implementation of modifications. To be able to work well together with the engineers of SARIS Aanhangers, Rob thought it would be good to make some changes to the CAD-software of SARIS employees.
When Rob started working for SARIS Aanhangers in 2021, he noticed that they encountered problems with their current Autodesk dealer and they needed to make a number of adjustments to their Autodesk licenses and software. For example, at SARIS, they were working with an older Autodesk Inventor and they needed an upgrade of their Autodesk Vault. Therefore, they were looking for a new Autodesk dealer who could (quickly) help them with this. Rob was already familiar with ICN Solutions, so he contacted ICN Solutions for SARIS. Thanks to Rob, SARIS Aanhangers B.V. eventually ended up taking out the Autodesk licenses from ICN Solutions.
Due to the engineers at SARIS Aanhangers were still working with Autodesk Inventor 2021, they needed a party that could help them with the transition to the latest Autodesk Inventor. ICN Solutions upgraded Autodesk Inventor for them to the latest version. Thanks to this, they are now able to work better and more efficiently.
In addition, SARIS Aanhangers were using Autodesk Vault Basic for all engineers at the time. As Autodesk Vault Basic is more for one person only and not for multiple engineers, they wanted to upgrade to Autodesk Vault Professional. This upgrade was also fully arranged by ICN Solutions. ICN Solutions implemented and installed 6 Autodesk Vault Professional licenses. Thanks to the upgrade to Autodesk Vault Professional, it is now easier to manage documents, which was one of the goals from Rob (as part of the CAD-management).
Next to this, ICN Solutions also provided consultancy and support.
“The entire process of switching from the other dealer to ICN and implementing a new software went just fine. Well prepared, well executed, clearly explained, yes what more could you want”, says Rob. Now SARIS Aanhangers can always contact ICN Solutions for questions about their Autodesk software and other related matters.
Because they now work with Autodesk Vault Professional at SARIS Aanhangers, their workflow has been optimized a lot. Rob himself also uses other Autodesk solutions: quick drafts of designs are drawn in 2D in AutoCAD and then designed in 3D in Autodesk Inventor. In addition, he uses Autodesk Vault as a management tool. All this software ensures that the people form SARIS Aanhangers B.V. can perform their work optimally.
Rob is very satisfied with the service he received from ICN Solutions: "Whenever I have a problem with the software or if I have techical questions, I can always call." Because Rob was so enthusiastic about ICN Solutions, he even had SARIS Aanhangers B.V. switch over. At SARIS Aanhangers, they are also happy with the support they receive from ICN Solutions: “Short lines, quick responses, that's a pleasure to work with. If I have a problem now, I want it solved now, and not in a week.”

Search Made Easier with Programmed Tool in AutoCAD
Thermo Electric Instrumentation is a company that makes temperature sensors, mainly for the oil and gas industry. All sensors they make are customer specified and drawn in AutoCAD. Thermo Electric was still working with an outdated AutoCAD version in 2016: AutoCAD 2000. This version was no longer supported and had to be updated. However, they had attached a search system that they had written themselves years earlier, and the person who made this system was no longer employed by Thermo Electric. They had to install a new AutoCAD version, but they also wanted to take this self-written system with them.
Migration to Autodesk Vault Workgroup 2021
Moonen Yachts is a company that designs, sells, and builds yachts. Within the company, they use Autodesk Inventor to model and manufacture the interiors of these yachts. They store all these designs in Autodesk Vault Basic. The Autodesk Vault and the server they were using were both outdated, and they were eager to move to a new environment. However, they ran into several problems. No migration was possible due to an old Windows environment; no additional server for migration was possible due to a lack of total space on the server environments; and no backup was possible for transferring due to insufficient disk space on the current server. If Moonen Yachts would continue to work like this, they would soon run out of space in the Autodesk Vault for their files and backups. It was necessary for them to migrate the Autodesk Vault, but they had limited resources to solve these problems. They were in a tight spot and asked for help from Autodesk Solution Provider ICN Solutions.
From 2D Design to 3D Modeling for Agricultural Industries
Van Dun Advies mainly works for agricultural companies and industry in rural areas, designing stables and commercial buildings, and realizing them thereof, for example. Van Dun Advies started 3D modeling in addition to 2D CAD drawing since customers asked for 3D models, because these clearly show what has been designed and will be built. A transition to 3D modeling appeared to be difficult, because the designers did not have software and skills for efficient 3D modeling at their disposal.
