“We had to make a gradual but assertive transition from a PRM (partner relationship management) system to a PDM solution, and it was not always an easy path to walk. But we simply had to take this trip. Thanks to the powerful functionality of Teamcenter and the great work of the Siemens Digital Industries Software Norwegian affiliate, Summit Systems, we saw the final results emerging in the spring of 2011. Our new PDM system is already quite productive and, very soon, we will have Teamcenter in all of our departments. This is certainly a major breakthrough for us.”
"We were able to go from design to finished concept on our SL Planter in literally three weeks, due mainly to the capabilities and ease-of-use of Solid Edge. Using Solid Edge, we’ve accelerated our design turnaround exponentially."
“Siemens is a great brand and when we tell people in our industry that we use Siemens products in-house, they rely on us completely."
“This works from any third-party system and is completely sufficient, because the client models must never be changed.”
"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."
“When I was employed in 1980, the company had already implemented the engineering and manufacturing processes as it is taught at the university. Back in the 1950’s, Savio had adopted the production methods of big organizations such as Olivetti, Necchi and Alfa Romeo, building up an efficient organization that later-on became a reference for several companies in our region.”
"We’ve found that using Solid Edge with synchronous technology enables us to dramatically accelerate our entire product development operation compared to the CAD software we were using. Using synchronous technology is not only better and faster for editing a design, but also for new product development as well."
"Using Solid Edge with synchronous technology, a company attains a far higher level of computer-aided design (CAD) independence. It enables our company to be more versatile, not dependent on the same 3D program used by the client. Using Solid Edge with synchronous technology allows us to open and easily modify customer designs and do so without any restrictions."
"Everything is modeled in 3D CAD using synchronous technology within Solid Edge. This allows us to quickly change designs as customers demand. We get both 2D and 3D data from vendors and customers that we need to adapt. Synchronous technology allows us to quickly change that to meet the design requirements for our customers."
"It’s got to be 100 percent reliable, durable and we need to have everything in place for downstream support. It must be affordable, sustainable and practical. With the help of Solid Edge, we’re getting there."
“We wanted a program that was reasonably priced and, at the same time, powerful enough, Solid Edge was the solution we were looking for in terms of the best price-performance ratio. In addition, Solid Edge was the easiest solution for transferring our existing I-deas database, which was a big deciding factor for us.”
"The speed with which we can now develop comes from our ability to change and re-use data, and Solid Edge was the catalyst for this. Everything comes from the drawings. If we need to trace a part number from a sales invoice or Bill of Materials, we can do so in an instant. Before, this process could take days."
“Some 80 percent of our turnover comes from less than thirty customers. Bertizzoni and his sister, Stefania Bertizzoni, have been guiding the company since 1979. “We are often in competition with big-name brands; yet, in many organizations, we have replaced our larger competitors as a result of our capacity to provide an equivalent or better product, combined with a leaner and more flexible relationship.”
“Management was in the front line for the introduction of 3D design software. When we had to handle thousands of drawings, we realized they could be grouped into families. We could redesign the parent parts of our components as 3D blocks, investing a little more time at the beginning, then realizing an extraordinarily faster and more efficient editing process.”
"The large investments we made in the production area in modern machinery, the 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis milling machines, enabled us to quickly raise our production capacity."
