Case Study: Control Box Ltd achieves faster, more accurate 3D control-box designs with SOLIDWORKS Electrical

Streamlining Control Box Design With Solidworks Electrical

Control Box Ltd., a New Zealand electrical engineering and manufacturing firm, faced the need to streamline development of electrical control boxes, panels and systems and improve collaboration with mechanical OEM partners on municipal and industrial water and wastewater projects. To solve this, Control Box added SolidWorks Electrical Professional to its existing SOLIDWORKS Premium mechanical design suite to integrate electrical schematics with 3D mechanical design.

SolidWorks Electrical Professional enabled Control Box Ltd. to produce unified 3D panel models and a single BOM for mechanical and electrical components, cutting electrical design time by 10–20%, improving schematic quality and panel-fit accuracy, and eliminating rework and retrofits. The integrated SolidWorks workflow also sped partner collaboration and time-to-market and provided polished 3D visuals that supported sales and faster engineering changes.
