The Challenge
Girtz Industries, Inc., is a leading manufacturer of packaged power systems. These weather-tight, transportable housings—including ISO shipping containers, portable enclosures, and transportable skids—are customized for power generators, refrigerated chillers, and HVAC systems. The company transitioned from AutoCAD® 2D-based development tools to the SolidWorks® 3D design platform, and management believed that Girtz could realize additional productivity gains by implementing a product data management (PDM) system.
The Solution
Girtz chose the SolidWorks Enterprise PDM system because for its easy configuration and administration, ease-of-use, and integration with SolidWorks design software. By implementing SolidWorks Enterprise PDM software, Girtz shortened its design cycles, reduced engineering costs, cut documentation development time, and increased throughput by 25 percent.
