- Cut time-to-market by 50 percent
- Reduced development costs by 30 percent
- Increased design reuse by 40 percent
The Challenge
Oceaneering International, Inc. designs and manufactures a variety of engineered offshore products, including remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), mobile offshore production systems, and built-to-order specialty subsea hardware. At its Deepwater Technical Solutions (DTS) division, the company sought to maximize its productivity gains by adding a product data management (PDM) system to its SolidWorks 3D design and simulation applications.
The Solution
The company chose to implement SolidWorks design, simulation, and product data management (PDM) solutions to improve communication, tighten revision control, minimize rework, encourage design reuse/standardization, accelerate time-to-market, and reduce product development costs.
"By installing SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, we keep the work flowing, which is how we make money."
