ABOUT
About Thomas Regout B.V.
Thomas Regout International B.V. specializes in providing telescopic slides, linear guides, and sliding systems for horizontal, vertical, and diagonal movement. Their expert engineers offer tailored guidance for various applications.
Advancements at the Maastricht facility, where their headquarters are also located, include robotics, interconnected IT systems, and controlled production. These advancements ensure short lead times and consistent quality. Also, they ensure that their products and services are safe, reliable, sustainable and of high quality by incorporating the highest standards (such as IATF 16949 for the automotive industry) and through their environmental certifications (such as ISO 14001, Reach and RoHS).
Through their industry expertise, innovation, and high quality materials, Thomas Regout helps their customers stay ahead of the competition. By listening and by exploring the latest technology innovations, they identify the customers’ current and future needs and turn these market demands into innovative sliding solutions.
Challenge
Thomas Regout International relies on an experienced but aging workforce, making knowledge transfer to new employees increasingly difficult. The process of assembling and disassembling tools for telescopic slide production is complex, labor intensive, and requires extensive training.
To address this, Thomas Regout partnered with Recreate to develop an IT system to capture toolmaker expertise and share it through the 3D work training platform. This solution will provide a visual, user friendly interface to minimize errors during the assembly of tools. These feature allow even those with limited technical knowledge to perform complex tasks which ensures efficiency even during periods of high demand.

Solution for the Integration of 3D Models in a Work Training Platform
HELOOOOOO
The solution for Thomas Regout is Recreate’s 3DX training platform which gives them a no code way to create work instructions. Thomas Regout investigated other solutions in the past (such as projection), but these solutions did not meet the expectations. As such, this 3DX platform was chosen for its advanced capabilities and especially for the ideal integration with 3D models.
Key Features & Benefits:
- No-Code Platform – Enables easy creation of step-by-step work instructions without programming skills in 3D
- 3D Model Integration – Imports STEP files to serve as the foundation for instructions
- Easy and user friendly drag and drop functionality which allows even non-technical users to create immersive guides effortlessly
- Interactive Animations – Users can select and animate 3D model elements for a clearer guidance and training
- Custom Features – Developed specifically to support complex tool assembly for production
- Integration with the MES system of Thomas Regout which allows users to work in one system and have all information available when they need it
