Automation and deployment of CAD/CAM workstations throughout Germany
Simonswerk, a leading building hardware manufacturer, didn’t have an automated workplace and application deployment solution. With XOAP, they were able to deliver complete workplaces quickly, automatically and in a standardized way.

Hinge systems
Our customer, Simonswerk, is a leading manufacturer in the building hardware industry, specializing in hinge systems for doors and windows. The company’s products are recognized for their functionality and aesthetics and meet the requirements of architects, builders and homeowners worldwide.
This industry faces challenges in standardizing application delivery due to different designs, legacy systems and interoperability issues. Creating a standardized process is complicated by various security protocols and regulatory requirements. Adding to this complexity is the fact that employees travel across Germany and, in some cases, have no fixed location.
With the implementation of XOAP for the department-specific software application provisioning of the R&D departments in Germany, a fully standardized workstation provisioning solution is being introduced. Part of this is the automated rollout of software applications on Windows 11 via the central XOAP platform to all CAD/CAM workstations of SW Germany employees in the R&D department.
Desktop & application deployment is transformed into a fully automated process that reduces preparation time and errors.
Standardized workplace deployment & configuration process
XOAP’s Verwaltung von Anwendungen module automated the deployment of required software, including CAD tools. It ensured consistent delivery across all devices using role- and group-based targeting, reducing errors and manual intervention in complex deployments.
XOAP’s Konfigurationsmanagement module automated all post-install configurations. Settings, user preferences, and required system changes were applied uniformly across devices, eliminating manual steps and ensuring reliable, error-free system preparation.
The PSADT Package Wizard enabled the creation of PowerShell-based packages that installed and configured applications in a single step.
Integrated with XOAP, this simplified complex deployments like CAD and secured consistent updates across all target systems.
Standardized PSADT application packages were created for all required software using the XOAP platform.
Applications were deployed and configured by the customer using a single automated PowerShell command executed through XOAP.
All ongoing maintenance and configuration were centralized and automated via XOAP’s management capabilities.
XOAP integrates with PSADT to deploy and configure even complex applications like CAD using a single command, while centralizing updates and system maintenance.
