"As a result of working with Ulster University, we now have in-house CAD capability and through Alan’s knowledge and enthusiasm, we have been able to strengthen our expertise in applied metal forming."
“Thanks to the view configuration and the local caching we are able to manage large assemblies quite well. Solid Edge subassemblies streamline design of modularized products. Automatic collision detection eliminates errors, and navigating through the assemblies gives insight into details.“
“We are realizing a cost savings of 150,000 rupees per month, because we no longer have to manually track and review drawings for accuracy. Mistakes by vendors have been virtually eliminated, because we now have accurate data. Plus, we are now releasing new innovative products more rapidly, which is proving quite beneficial in terms of market share.”
"We’ve found that Solid Edge enables us to do a much more detailed design than was possible in the past. In addition to the core product, we use several add-ons that really help us, including for sheet metal design, piping and simulation. We try to design by including every detail, such as fasteners, to exclude delays in the production process due to design errors."
"With material thicknesses of tenths of millimeters, the thin wall command of Solid Edge is critical for thermoforming areas."
“This works from any third-party system and is completely sufficient, because the client models must never be changed.”
"NX CAM is unique in that it allows NC programmers to try different approaches before selecting the best method to machine even the most challenging designs. Programming complex parts is no longer a tedious process. The software provides many advanced options that give the engineers the necessary flexibility to quickly create safe 5-axis operations."
“When our engineers tested two methods for the same work piece, the time difference could be up to 20 minutes, so if we make 1,000 pieces a year, the difference would be 20,000 minutes. And that’s only for one part. The enhanced machining efficiency using innovative methods has increased our production capacity remarkably.”
"The use of Solid Edge has helped optimize our product design and manufacturing business processes. Our employees are delivering faster, better results, enabled by smarter decision making. We have a very positive atmosphere inside the company regarding our technological solutions and business strengths."
"This significant improvement in product development efficiency has given our engineers greater freedom to explore innovative design ideas."
“We have one truth in all the company, and all the departments, they use the same information, so there is much less chance that we make mistakes.”
"Due to the direct access to PLM information on the shop floor, our machines’ idle times are significantly reduced, and our colleagues are able to effectively minimize variation in quality and manufacturing errors."
"This new situation is a huge improvement compared to how we previously worked. Siemens Digital Industries Software is a great partner for project assistance and daily support."
"The result of all this preparation was that business could be fully resumed immediately after the weekend. The IHC Merwede Group Information Technology (IT)–Application Management and Siemens Digital Industries Software provided onsite support that resolved any difficulties that had not been picked up previously."
“The next day, staff attended presentations about the changes and new functionality in Teamcenter and Solid Edge, as the final database conversion was taking place at Siemens Digital Industries Software."
