Anonymized case study · Proposed program
An online product configurator for an industrial automation company
An industrial automation company wanted its buyers to describe a system online before the first sales call. AppWT scoped the program, proposed it in writing and built a working demonstration. The production program has not been delivered.
Status, stated exactly
Proposed. AppWT scoped the configurator program and sent a written proposal in 2026. In October 2026 AppWT built a working demonstration on its own servers. The client has not contracted the production program, and nothing on this page runs on the client's systems. The client is not named, and no client data, drawings or prices appear here.
The problem
Custom automation systems are usually quoted after several calls and a site visit. Buyers wanted to send a complete request on their own schedule: the parts involved, the type of system, the payload and the layout limits. Sales engineers wanted that information before the first call, not after it.
What the demonstration does
A buyer uploads up to five 3D files in 14 CAD formats, including STEP, SLDPRT, STL and DXF, up to 150 MB each, or starts from one of five sample builds. Large files travel in 8 MB pieces, and each file is checked by its extension and by its content before it is stored. The buyer then configures one of four product families step by step: autonomous mobile robots, robotic work cells, conveyance systems and palletizers. The demonstration shows a sample price, a sample lead time and automated design checks, then lets the buyer save, share or send the request and track it by reference number.
The data
Every price and lead time in the demonstration is a sample figure, not a quote. The demonstration is not connected to live machines or to the client's business systems.
How it was tested
AppWT's automated end-to-end test of the demonstration passed 64 of 64 checks on two consecutive runs on October 23, 2026. It was also rendered in a real Chrome browser at desktop and phone widths, with no sideways scrolling and no console errors.
What you can verify
Qualified buyers can see the demonstration in a live session on sample data after signing an NDA. References and project scale are shared with qualified buyers under NDA as well.
This is how AppWT runs enterprise work: a written scope, each stage priced and approved separately, and a working demonstration before a production build is signed.
Common Questions
Was the configurator delivered?
No. AppWT scoped the configurator program and proposed it in writing in 2026, then built a working demonstration on its own servers in October 2026. The client has not contracted the production program. Every price and lead time in the demonstration is a sample figure, and no client data appears in it.
What file types does the demonstration accept?
It accepts 14 CAD formats, including STEP, STP, SLDPRT, STL, DXF, IPT, 3MF and JT, up to 150 MB per file and five files per request. Large files upload in 8 MB pieces, and each file is checked by its extension and by its content before it is stored.
How can a buyer see the demonstration?
Qualified buyers see the demonstration in a live session on sample data after signing an NDA. Email sales@appwt.com with the subject NDA demo request, or call (888) 565-0171. Name your company, your role, the system you want to evaluate, your decision date and who else will attend.
Evaluating a configurator or a quoting tool?
Send the system you want buyers to describe and your deadline. AppWT replies in writing with a scope and the next step.
