"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."
“Mechanical Desktop was not as comprehensive as we needed and some of the features didn’t work as well as we thought they should.”
"We felt that the cost reduction in design we could achieve using Solid Edge, plus the ability to provide on-time product delivery to our clients, would enable us to enhance our reputation and get new customers. Other factors impacting selection included the depth and breadth of technology offered by Siemens Digital Industries Software and the support we saw from Siemens Digital Industries Software’s distributor/partner to understand and address our issues. With such complete 2D/3D functionality, we knew that Solid Edge would deliver unique capabilities to meet our needs."
"Magic System increased design productivity by 20 percent with the implementation of Solid Edge."
"The software we used before only worked with two dimensions, so when we would go to the plant to set up the assembly processes, things would not always fit."
"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."
“Insight permits the reuse of design data to a much greater extent because we can find existing information and we can trust it now. Also Insight has virtually eliminated problems such as saving the same file in multiple locations and overwriting another’s work.”
“Solid Edge is easy to learn, user friendly and intuitive, This is important to us as we often take on placement students and apprentices; we want them to be able to effectively use the software.”
"Siemens Digital Industries Software is putting a lot into improving Solid Edge, to the point where they have even come here to find out how they can make the software better meet our needs."
“Using Solid Edge, I can handle the many changes and variants which occur in the design process much faster than in the past. The possibility to model parts within an assembly, as well as the integrated data management functions with Insight, offer a big advantage."
“My first thought had always been to manufacture exclusive, high-quality wrist watches, following in the tradition of the nearly forgotten watchmaker Moritz Grossmann, but with our own look and feel, As a place to realize my idea, it had to be Glashuette.”
“Although the design and manufacturing of a complex watch can be completed much faster than ever before using Solid Edge and advanced machine tools, there is still much time and effort required to fulfill our aesthetical ideas, In addition to the virtual 3D model of a watch, some prototypes still have to be produced to check the functions, the look and feel or to make required changes. Before batch production begins, special tools and jigs have to be designed and produced, also supported by using Solid Edge. This is necessary because the very small watch components cannot be fixed using standard tools, in most cases, both for machining and manual finishing.”
"By combining the features of timepieces with our own R&D requirements, and after an evaluation by our senior leaders, we chose a flexible and easy-to-use software solution that addresses all aspects of the product development process. We chose Solid Edge from Siemens Digital Industries Software."
“Our overall product development operation now runs smoothly and efficiently. Information quality, project security, design reliability and project documentation are some of the areas where we’ve made considerable gains due to our new process and the use of Solid Edge, which made certain process improvements essentially automatic.”
“We aim our products at premium customers, so it is important for us to maintain a high level of quality in all our marketing, design and production processes."
