Case Study: KONE improves productivity and reduces time to market with Visual Components

KONE - Customer Case Study

KONE, a global leader in elevators and escalators, needed a better way to communicate complex new production process and assembly cell plans to stakeholders. The company was struggling to explain layouts and robotics-heavy concepts with CAD and Excel, so it turned to Visual Components for 3D simulation and layout planning software.

Using Visual Components, KONE created early-stage mock-ups, detailed layouts, and production simulations to validate space requirements, ergonomics, workflows, and cost-saving opportunities. The vendor’s software improved stakeholder communication, sped up decision-making, and helped KONE start manufacturing development earlier, reducing critical time to market and increasing productivity.
