The Challenge
Burlington Technologies Inc. produces high-pressure aluminum die castings, which automotive companies use to produce numerous parts. When the company upgraded to the SolidWorks 3D CAD system to boost productivity in the development and machining of die-casting tools for the automotive industry, it also needed to implement a PDM system to improve design revision control and establish more efficient workflows.
The Solution
The company chose SolidWorks Enterprise PDM software because it is easy to use, provides valuable PDM capabilities for the price, integrates completely with SolidWorks 3D CAD software, and is simple to install. By implementing Enterprise PDM, Burlington automated both its workflows and approval processes; eliminated design errors, such as misaligned holes; shortened the time required to make design changes by 50 percent; and resolved its design revision and data issues.
The Results
- Automated workflows and approval processes
- Eliminated design errors, such as misaligned holes
- Shortened time required to make design changes by 50 percent
- Resolved design revision and data issues
We had SolidWorks up and running in a month and implemented SolidWorks Enterprise PDM within a week.
