Case Study: Brownlee-Morrow Company, Inc. achieves 75% faster design cycles and 43% fewer drawing errors with SOLIDWORKS

Accelerating air- and fluid-handling equipment development with SOLIDWORKS

Brownlee-Morrow Company, Inc., a leading manufacturer of air- and fluid-handling equipment, needed to streamline product development, accelerate proposal turnaround, reduce drawing errors, and improve overall design efficiency. To address these challenges the company implemented SOLIDWORKS Standard and SOLIDWORKS Premium design and analysis software from SolidWorks.

With SolidWorks’ SOLIDWORKS Standard and Premium tools, Brownlee-Morrow cut design cycles by 75%, reduced drawing errors by 43%, and made proposals in hours instead of days, achieving a first-year ROI of $50,950 and an estimated $25,000/year in additional sales. The move also slashed average part variance from 12% to under 0.5%, sped custom-system development fourfold, and used SOLIDWORKS simulation to eliminate consultant costs and reduce material and welding expenses.
