Case Study: Omega Elevator achieves 30-40% faster design cycles and 30% lower development costs with SOLIDWORKS

Lifting Elevator Development to New Heights With Solidworks Solutions

Omega Elevator, a leading European elevator manufacturer based in Vitoria, Spain, needed to accelerate and streamline design, validation, and production by moving from a 2D to a 3D development environment. To achieve this modernization, Omega Elevator selected SolidWorks solutions — deploying SolidWorks design, SolidWorks Simulation, SolidWorks PDM Professional, and SolidWorks Composer — to replace its legacy tools and support faster, more robust product development.

SolidWorks implemented an integrated 3D platform that improved collaboration, traceability, and simulation-driven validation, enabling significant efficiency gains: design cycles shortened by 30–40%, development costs fell by about 30%, prototyping costs dropped 50–60%, and design errors were reduced by roughly 20%, with time-to-market reduced to as little as a week. The SolidWorks PDM system also automated workflows and promoted design reuse, delivering measurable improvements in throughput, quality, and cost.
