Case Study: Bosch Rexroth (Rexroth Hydraudyne) achieves higher engineering productivity and fewer errors with PTC Mathcad (PTC)

Bosch Rexroth - Customer Case Study

Bosch Rexroth’s Rexroth Hydraudyne division in the Netherlands builds large, custom hydraulic cylinders for projects like the Hartel Canal tidal barrier. As an engineering-to-order operation that usually manufactures one cylinder per job, the team needed highly reliable, well-documented calculations and better collaboration than their inflexible legacy tools allowed — so they adopted PTC Mathcad from vendor PTC.

PTC supplied PTC Mathcad as a visual, unit-aware calculation environment and a basis for a digital engineering handbook (now containing 165 core calculations and five templates) used daily by about two-thirds of the company’s 16 design engineers. With PTC Mathcad, Bosch Rexroth achieved higher engineering productivity, fewer unit and formula errors, consistent, auditable calculation packages for partners, and more precise shell-thickness sizing that reduced material and production costs while speeding delivery of one-off designs.
