Case Study: SEA-LECT Plastics achieves 98.5% operational efficiency and higher profit margins with SOLIDWORKS

SEA-LECT Plastics Combines SOLIDWORKS and DELMIAworks to Improve Efficiency and Profit Margins

Sea-Lect Plastics, a leading Pacific Northwest supplier of custom injection molding, product development, and tooling, faced inefficiencies from a patchwork of a custom ERP and Excel spreadsheets that caused repetitive data entry, late deliveries, and uncertainty about job profitability. The company had already adopted SOLIDWORKS and CAMWorks for design work but needed an integrated manufacturing system, so it combined SOLIDWORKS with the DELMIAWORKS ERP solution from the SolidWorks ecosystem.

By implementing DELMIAWORKS integrated with SOLIDWORKS, Sea-Lect gained real-time visibility across 16 machines, automated workflows, and accurate job costing; operational efficiency jumped from 70% to 98.5%. The SolidWorks-backed solution delivered more precise estimates, higher profit margins, consistent on-time delivery, improved part quality, and supported Sea-Lect’s achievement of ISO 9001:2015 certification.
