Case Study: Moog QuickSet achieves 66% faster design cycles and more than 100% revenue growth with SolidWorks solutions

Creating advanced security and surveillance systems with SolidWorks solutions

Moog QuickSet, a leading designer and manufacturer of pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera and sensor positioning systems, needed to rapidly move from manual 2D drawings to integrated 3D development to seize post‑9/11 security and surveillance market opportunities. To accelerate product development and improve design precision, Moog QuickSet standardized on SolidWorks solutions, initially using SolidWorks Professional and SolidWorks Premium and later adding SolidWorks Simulation Premium, Flow Simulation, Enterprise PDM, Composer, CircuitWorks, and eDrawings.

Using SolidWorks design, simulation, PDM, and technical-communication tools, Moog QuickSet automated assemblies, performed shock/vibration and thermal/wind analyses, integrated mechanical and electrical designs, and improved vendor collaboration. SolidWorks’ solutions shortened design cycles by 66%, doubled the company’s product offering, eliminated 90% of manufacturing errors, and helped grow annual revenue by more than 100% over ten years.
