挑战

Until 2012, OMEGA utilized 2D tools to support its entire development and manufacturing process, from design concept to production. However, to consistently maximize its capacity to produce 4,000 complete elevators annually, the elevator manufacturer decided to transition to 3D technology to accelerate and streamline elevator design, validation, and production, according to Managing Director Javier Azurmendi. The challenge was to accelerate and streamline elevator design, validation, and production by transitioning from a 2D to a 3D development platform.

关于客户

OMEGA ELEVATOR, S.A., is a leading European elevator company, designing, manufacturing, installing, maintaining, and servicing hydraulic and electric elevators, and other vertical transport systems. Headquartered in Vitoria, Spain, the company has produced elevators for transporting people, as well as small and large cargo loads, for more than 25 years, and has installations on several continents. With its modern production plant and knowledgeable, experienced employees, OMEGA brings extensive technical expertise to the development of its elevation equipment, including elevators, platforms, escalators, and access ramps. Each prototype OMEGA designs is verified and checked in its own testing and trial tower, and adapted to each particular case and specific local regulations.

解决方案

After evaluating 3D design packages, OMEGA standardized on SOLIDWORKS® solutions, implementing SOLIDWORKS design, SOLIDWORKS Simulation analysis, SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional product data management, and SOLIDWORKS Composer technical communication software. The company chose SOLIDWORKS solutions because of their ease of use, power, and versatility. In addition to using SOLIDWORKS design and SOLIDWORKS Simulation analysis software to develop and validate elevator designs, OMEGA implemented the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional system to improve collaboration and automate workflows. OMEGA also utilizes SOLIDWORKS Composer technical communication software to reuse 3D design data to quickly create or update technical drawings and associated product documentation.

运营影响

Since implementing the SOLIDWORKS 3D development platform, OMEGA can make greater use of its design data, which accelerates processes, resulting in a 30 to 40 percent reduction in design cycles and much shorter time-to-market.
The SOLIDWORKS PDM system provides precise knowledge of specific components that were used in a particular design when it was sold. Easy search of and fast access to design data supports greater design reuse.
The transition to SOLIDWORKS development solutions is also having a positive impact on OMEGA’s bottom line. The company indicates that its development costs have dropped by approximately 30 percent, much of those reductions related to time savings.
