Case Study: Integrated Technologies Limited achieves 60% faster manufacturing and assembly instruction development and £100 per-run savings with SOLIDWORKS

Advancing medical device manufacturing and assembly with SOLIDWORKS Composer

Integrated Technologies Limited (ITL Group), a full‑service medical device design and manufacturing partner, needed to accelerate and streamline the creation of manufacturing and assembly instructions to save time, cut costs, and improve product quality. To solve this bottleneck between design and production, ITL added SolidWorks' technical communication tool, SOLIDWORKS Composer, to its existing SOLIDWORKS CAD implementation.

By using SOLIDWORKS Composer, ITL automated paperless assembly instructions, enabled concurrent instruction development with design, and improved cross‑department collaboration. The SolidWorks solution reduced instruction development time by 60%, saved about £100 (US$130) per production run, dramatically cut engineering change orders (ECOs), and paid for tablet viewing within the first year—while improving quality and reducing the potential for assembly errors.
