SUCCESS STORIES > CONSTRUCTION F.L. SMIDTH & CO. A/S“We have experienced an increase in productivity in mechanical equipment design, reducing the engineering effort by as much as 30 percent, while simultaneously improving design quality and minimizing errors.”
- Sture Plaugmann, Executive Assistant The ChallengeAs the principal builder of cement plants around the world, F.L. Smidth adopted a 3D CAD strategy in 2004 to increase productivity, foster collaboration, and secure a competitive advantage. Moving to 3D required an integrated PDM system that could manage the many references among parts, assemblies, and drawings, as well as integrate with the company’s ERP and legacy 2D document management systems. The SolutionThe company chose SolidWorks Enterprise PDM software as its PDM solution because of its ease of use, direct integration with SolidWorks software, and ability to connect and operate with existing ERP and legacy systems. By deploying SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, F.L. Smidth reduced its mechanical equipment engineering effort by 30 percent, decreased cabling development costs, integrated its global engineering organization, and established a global PDM system supporting multiple languages.
