Case Study: Industrial Control Associates improves collaboration and efficiency with Solid Edge and Teamcenter

Industrial Control Associates cuts job completion time by 33% with Solid Edge

Industrial Control Associates (ICA), an eight-person machine builder and systems integrator, needed to compete against much larger organizations and present a large-company image to win orders from major clients. Their challenge was to improve design accuracy, collaboration, and operational efficiency. To address this, they implemented Solid Edge software for design and Teamcenter software for product lifecycle management from Siemens.

The solution implemented by Solid Edge, particularly its synchronous technology, dramatically reduced ICA's design remanufacturing rate from 20% to just 2% and cut job completion time by 33%. Using Teamcenter provided a single data repository, slashing search times for information from 10 minutes to 30 seconds and enabling immediate answers to customer inquiries. This combined Solid Edge solution improved collaboration, efficiency, and customer service, serving as a key differentiator that helped the small company secure business with large automotive and government organizations.
