Review extracted data instead of re-typing it
ATN Portal reads the form, extracts options and dimensions and flags missing fields. Your engineers verify instead of re-typing.
From gate quote requests to 3D models, drawings and quotations —
without the repetitive work.
ATN Portal reads your quotation forms, drives SOLIDWORKS to generate 3D models and manufacturing drawings, prepares the bill of materials (BOM) and quotation, and transfers the data to your ERP. Your engineers validate every stage.
AI-assisted design and quotation automation for custom gate manufacturers
Free diagnostic under NDA · No upfront development payment · Billing starts when the agreed ROI is observed.

In the design office today
The bottleneck isn’t the CAD model.
It’s the manual steps around it.
01 — Re-typing what’s already on the form
You key dimensions and options into the workflow by hand, so engineering time goes into data entry instead of design.
02 — Repeating the same CAD edits
You adapt the same SOLIDWORKS models and redo the drawings for every new size and option, so routine edits take time from work that needs real expertise.
03 — Re-handling data between design and pricing
You build the BOM and quotation separately from the design, so every request takes longer and every handoff risks an error.
Your gate ranges are already designed.
Each request still means reading, adapting and preparing again.

From request to quotation
Five steps,
with an engineer check at each stage.
ATN Portal automates the repetitive steps between the customer form and the technical and commercial outputs. Your design office retains the key review and validation points.

The ATN Portal approach
Automate the repetitive steps. Keep the engineering decisions.
Request a demo
Models and drawings, no repeated CAD edits
ATN Portal applies your design rules and drives SOLIDWORKS to produce the 3D model and drawings. Your engineers review, not rebuild.
Get the BOM and quotation without re-handling data
ATN Portal prepares an exportable BOM, calculates the quotation and transfers data to your ERP. Nothing is re-keyed between steps.
Engineers stay in control of every stage
Your engineers check the extracted data, review the designs and validate every quotation before anything is finalised.
A myATN solution developed by DFM Europe
ATN Portal is a myATN solution developed by DFM Europe, a digital and scientific engineering company.
Your rules
Each gate model gets its own configuration rules and quotation form. We define with your team which operations to automate.
Your tools
Keep your SOLIDWORKS environment — ATN Portal uses it, it doesn’t replace it. Data transfers to your ERP as configured.
Evolves with you
Configuration rules can be adjusted as your ranges and requirements change.
Your CAD and ERP environment
Keep your CAD software.
Automate the work around it.
ATN Portal drives your CAD software to generate gate configurations and deliverables. ERP data transfer is defined around your system during the feasibility assessment. ATN Portal does not replace your CAD software.

How we work together
You shouldn’t pay for automation that doesn’t deliver.
Timeline: about six months, depending on scope. Pricing: fixed monthly fee, based on scope, features and estimated ROI. Included: training and support.
We sign a confidentiality agreement, then analyse your quotation forms, documents and current process to validate the project’s feasibility. The diagnostic is free and without commitment.
Once the scope is validated, a contract sets out the objectives, features, delivery timeline and monthly fee agreed in advance. The fee, between €30 and €4,000, is based on project scope, requested features and estimated ROI.
DFM Europe develops and tests your solution against the agreed scope. You make no payment during this phase, until the solution is ready to be deployed.
After deployment, you only start paying once the solution delivers a concrete, measurable ROI, as set out in the contract. Preferential terms for AREA members: to be defined together.
Before you get started
Your questions.
Clear answers.
We already use SOLIDWORKS and an ERP. Do we need to change anything?
No. ATN Portal works with your SOLIDWORKS environment and automates the repetitive steps around it. The ERP transfer method is assessed for your system.
Can it work with our own quotation forms?
Yes. It is configured around the structured forms and product rules of each gate range. We review your documents during the feasibility assessment.
What if a form is incomplete or handwritten?
Missing information is flagged, and handwriting is recognised, though accuracy can vary. Engineers review and correct every value before it is used.
Are models and quotations validated automatically?
No. Your engineers review the extracted data, generated designs and quotation before anything is finalised.
Does our data leave our infrastructure?
Selected configuration values are processed in the cloud. Currently only checkbox-related values are sent, without sensitive customer information. The exact data flow is reviewed in the technical assessment.
How long does it take, and when does billing start?
About six months, depending on scope. The monthly fee is fixed in the contract, and billing starts once the agreed ROI is observed. See “How we work together” above.
