Case Study: Mayekawa Manufacturing Company achieves faster, more accurate 3D design with Hexagon PPM

Intelligent 3D design solution enables Japanese manufacturing company to create deliverables more quickly and accurately

Mayekawa Manufacturing Company, a Japanese manufacturer of industrial refrigeration compressors, needed a faster and more consistent way to create 3D models and pipe design drawings as it expanded globally. The company’s previous CAD system was too slow and limited, and it wanted a standardized engineering platform across all sites. Hexagon PPM’s CADWorx Plant Professional, along with CAESAR II and PV Elite, matched Mayekawa’s requirements for AutoCAD compatibility, stress analysis, and Japanese-language support.

Hexagon PPM implemented CADWorx to streamline Mayekawa’s plant and piping design workflow, improve data sharing across international teams, and support more accurate engineering deliverables. The results were significant: training was completed in about a month, GA drawing creation time was cut in half, spool output productivity improved tenfold, and construction drawing errors were reduced. Mayekawa also reported higher productivity, better design quality, and more consistency across global projects.
