Case Study: ANDRITZ Ritz minimizes machine downtime with Solid Edge CAD/CAM

Andritz Ritz minimizes machine downtime with Solid Edge and 3D design for 58 users

Andritz Ritz, a Germany-based manufacturer of pumps and submersible motors, faced the challenge of managing a complex workload with limited resources while needing to minimize machine downtime and ensure high accuracy. To address this, the company implemented Solid Edge software from Siemens Digital Industries Software as part of a long-term IT strategy to improve engineering efficiency.

The solution involved upgrading from 2D CAD to a 3D design process with Solid Edge and establishing a direct engineering-to-shop floor link. This PLM-CNC integration provided a seamless data flow from CAD/CAM to machine tool controllers, which automated production. Solid Edge helped Andritz Ritz save significant time and money by minimizing machine downtime and improving the overall accuracy of its manufacturing process.
