Case Study: Wabtec Corporation accelerates production and improves quality with Anark Corporation

Wabtec boosts shop floor output 10x with Anark

Wabtec Corporation, a leading rail technology company, faced challenges with slow production and siloed information due to their reliance on complex 2D drawings. They turned to vendor Anark Corporation to implement a model-based digital thread, starting with Anark's 3D PDFs to streamline work instructions and improve technical data exchange.

The solution implemented by Anark provided a seamless, scalable platform for collaboration, giving shop floor workers and suppliers direct access to model-based information. This resulted in dramatically faster production times, such as one operator increasing output from 4 to 40 parts per hour, and improved quality by eliminating guesswork for suppliers. Anark's platform broke down silos, creating a single source of truth that accelerated delivery and fostered enterprise-wide clarity.
