Case Study: Loiretech cuts CNC programming time from 2 days to 2 hours with Hexagon

Hexagon Solutions Seamlessly Integrate Loiretech’s Processes

Loiretech, a specialized toolmaker for the aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors, faced significant challenges with process inefficiency and disconnected business silos. Their complex machining operations required two days to program parts, and a lack of integration between departments hindered profitability. They turned to vendor Hexagon for a software solution to integrate their processes and improve accuracy.

Hexagon implemented an integrated solution using three of its products: WORKNC for CAM programming, WORKPLAN for ERP and operations management, and WORKXPLORE for CAD file analysis. This solution seamlessly connected Loiretech's formerly separate business units. The results were substantial, including slashing part programming time from two days to just two hours using WORKNC. Hexagon's tools provided the accuracy needed for their high-tolerance work and gave the company new insight into costs, helping to preserve and increase overall profitability.
