Case Study: Gerhard Schubert GmbH achieves 2x faster custom packaging machine development with SolidWorks

Gerhard Schubert GmbH Accelerating Custom Packaging Machine Development with SolidWorks Solutions

Gerhard Schubert GmbH, a market leader in automated packaging machines, needed to streamline and accelerate development of highly customized, complex systems while preserving design flexibility. To move from 2D workflows to parametric 3D design, the company selected SolidWorks and implemented SolidWorks Professional and SolidWorks Premium along with SolidWorks Simulation, DraftSight, PhotoView 360 and eDrawings to support design, analysis, sheet‑metal work and customer communication.

Using SolidWorks design configurations, API automation and sheet‑metal tools, Schubert automated assembly design and improved visualization and review processes. The result: customized machines delivered in about six months, design cycles twice as fast as competitors, roughly five hours saved per assembly, and the ability to manage systems of more than 10,000 parts while improving customer communication and production efficiency.
