SolidWorks®
provides the solution to create custom package handling machines, shorten
lead time, and reduce costly mistakes throughout your design process.
Customer
expectations grow increasingly demanding. The expected time to react and
respond continues to shrink. At each phase of your design cycle your challenges
and deliverables are different. You need to do more than ever in less
time and SolidWorks® Office Premium can help you get there.
Responding
to a Request for Proposal
You can no longer afford
to take weeks to deliver a proposal for a job to your client. SolidWorks
lets you leverage your previous projects for a proposal by quickly
searching both your previous 2D and 3D designs to find a relative
baseline. By easily finding a similar job from the past you can
quickly generate proposal drawings and more efficiently estimate
job costs to maintain profitability. You will be able to provide
a more accurate proposal faster than your competition and with eDrawings™,
include a digital version to make your customer feel more a part
of the process. Faster response and better customer interaction
will help set you apart from your competition.
Many
of your machines are purchased from suppliers. The time you spend
searching through outdated paper catalogs and then contacting a vendor
for a latest version is wasted when you consider you still have to
design the purchased part yourself to fit in the design. SolidWorks
provides 3D ContentCentral(SM) to let you find vendors, configure
components, and download a 3D model right in your design. So you can
focus on your customer's design, not on your vendor's parts.
When designing in 2D you
won't know if your parts fit together until final assembly. SolidWorks
lets you build in design intent, making sure parts fit right the
first time. SolidWorks' SWIFT™ lets users focus on the design, rather than how to run the CAD system, by taking care of tedious CAD tasks like fillet and draft creation. Your machines have very complex high-speed moving parts,
and these parts often experience high loads. SolidWorks provides
software for kinematic and dynamic anlaysis, weldment analysis,
and part analysis and optimization to let you verify your designs
in the virtual world, thereby reducing physical prototypes.
In 2D you can't test your design until a time when changes are very
expensive and cause missed deadlines. SolidWorks lets you know your
parts will fit together and allows you to visualize and verify how
mechanisms will work in 3D.
As you finalize your design,
a parts list must go to purchasing and drawings to manufacturing,
all before you can start assembling and testing. In 2D you have
no guarantee the design is correct or your parts list is complete.
With SolidWorks you will have accurate 2D or 3D for machining and
an up-to-date parts list for your purchasing agent. There are always
changes to any design and with SolidWorks, any change will be reflected
throughout your design while versions are automatically managed
in PDMWorks®.
Even though the machine
may be assembled and the cables are being strung there is always
one more part of your customer deliverables, manuals, and maintenance
documents. In 2D you spend a significant amount of time redrawing
portions of the design to document the machine for your customer.
SolidWorks will allow you to leverage the 3D assembly to quickly
create detailed exploded diagrams, completing the project and guaranteeing
your documentation will always be on the same version as the machine
the customer receives.
SolidWorks can improve your design process at every corner, making
you more profitable and competitive. Contact us for more information.
