Case Study: UWC Holdings achieves 50% faster product design and near-elimination of CAD errors with Solid Edge

Using Solid Edge helps UWC holdings improve product engineering design cycle be 50 percent

UWC Holdings, one of the largest contract manufacturers in Northern Malaysia, needed to produce higher-quality, lower-cost products faster while working seamlessly with customers using different CAD systems and meeting rising customer expectations. To solve these challenges the company adopted Solid Edge software (from Siemens Digital Industries Software) to modernize design workflows, improve data management, and streamline collaboration with suppliers.

Using Solid Edge’s synchronous technology, built-in PDM and simulation, UWC accelerated design iterations, edited foreign CAD data natively and eliminated time-consuming redraws. The result: product development cycle time fell by 50% (typical design time reduced from four weeks to two), manufacturing cycle time dropped by 15%, import errors were virtually eliminated, and reuse of existing data and supplier collaboration significantly improved—delivering higher quality, value and customer satisfaction.
