Case Study: Sumitomo Drive Technologies cuts engineering search time by up to 90% with CADDi

Sumitomo Drive Technologies cuts research time by up to 90% with CADDi

Sumitomo Drive Technologies, a respected industrial manufacturer of gearboxes and motors, faced the challenge of managing six decades of fragmented engineering data across various siloed systems. This inefficiency consumed up to 30% of an engineer's time on searches and risked the loss of critical institutional knowledge. To address this, they partnered with CADDi to implement its AI-powered data platform, CADDi Drawer.

CADDi's solution transformed the vast archive into a centralized, AI-powered intelligence hub. This streamlined the workflow, cutting research and data search time by up to 90%. The partnership with CADDi enabled engineers to quickly locate past designs, which accelerated commercial delivery times by saving weeks of design work on complex orders and significantly shortening lead times for customers.
