Case Study: Olympic Engineering Ltd achieves 40% faster machine design and 50% more design reuse with SOLIDWORKS

Stepping Up Shoe-manufacturing Machine Development With Solidworks Solutions

Olympic Engineering Ltd, an Athens-based leader in shoe-manufacturing machinery, needed to move off 2D tools and modernize product development to accelerate R&D, manufacturing and ERP integration while taming a large volume of legacy design data. The company selected SolidWorks and implemented SOLIDWORKS Professional, SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional and SOLIDWORKS Composer to transition to 3D design and centralized product-data management.

SolidWorks’ solutions were integrated with Olympic’s ERP and production workflows, providing tighter revision control, faster access to 3D data and streamlined documentation. As a result, Olympic shortened machine design cycles by 40%, increased design reuse by 50%, cut user-manual development time by 40%, and realized fewer design errors, improved machine performance, safety and greater overall design and manufacturing throughput.
