“As a startup, it was necessary from the beginning that we carefully use the resources available to us,” recounts Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Patrick Baumann. “As we continuously developed new prototypes, the amount of SOLIDWORKS® CAD data that had to be efficiently integrated into existing processes increased significantly, producing a number of challenges.” To continue its upward trajectory, the company needed more advanced technology tools to manage its vastly greater amount of data.
Advanced Technologies to Accelerate Growth
Green-Y evaluated solutions that would enable it to continue to leverage its existing SOLIDWORKS CAD data while addressing the challenges associated with its growth. The system needed to make both internal and external collaboration more effective: The company’s development team of in-house designers make parts and create CAD models, and its external specialists conduct finite element analysis.
“Teamwork is a crucial factor in driving innovation, so a solution was sought that would promote the flow of information and facilitate communication between the different departments and with external partners,” Baumann notes.
Green-Y implemented solutions from the 3DEXPERIENCE® Works portfolio to enable its seamless collaboration capabilities that helped ease implementation and thus move operations forward as quickly as possible. “The 3DEXPERIENCE platform offered a cloud-based, scalable solution specifically tailored to the needs of a growing startup,” Baumann continues. “With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we were able to make better use of our resources, improve collaboration, accelerate product development, and increase the quality of prototypes.”
