Case Study: Viscon Group slashes plant layout design errors with SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Works

Viscon Slashes Plant Layout Design Errors and Streamlines Operations

Viscon Group, an automation provider for the agriculture and food industries, was struggling to manage increasingly large factory layout designs using traditional 2D tools. As projects grew, details were getting lost, layouts had to be split into smaller sections, and the system could even crash. Viscon turned to SolidWorks and the 3DEXPERIENCE Works platform to better handle large datasets, BIM data, and plant layout design.

With SolidWorks and 3DEXPERIENCE Works solutions, Viscon moved to a cloud-based, 3D workflow that integrates directly with SOLIDWORKS files and supports design, data management, collaboration, and factory flow simulation. SolidWorks helped the company drastically reduce layout design errors, improve performance on large assemblies, and make real-time adjustments more easily, speeding production across teams working in the same ecosystem.
