Case Study: Kellenberger achieves 90% reduction in customer-specific schematic generation time with Zuken E³.series

Kellenberger cuts time taken to generate customer-specific schematics by around 90% by implementing options and variants in E³ series

Kellenberger, a Swiss builder of numerically controlled precision grinding machines, was spending excessive time creating customer‑specific electrical schematics: its legacy CAD produced “150%” drawings that required manual copy‑and‑paste and hours of engineer time. To modernize configuration and documentation, Kellenberger adopted Zuken’s E³.series.

By implementing options, variants and package-based logic inside Zuken’s E³.series feature tree, Kellenberger can now generate an individual schematic with a single click, automating what was previously manual work. Zuken’s solution cut schematic‑generation time by about 90% (from 4–8 hours to roughly 5–30 minutes), simplified machine configuration, reduced documentation effort, and enabled automated conversion of legacy drawings with Zuken tools and future extensions into fluid design and ERP integration.
