Challenge

Accelerate the development of rail cars, freight wagons, and bogies to support greater throughput while simultaneously reducing costs, improving quality, and increasing payload carrying capacity.

Solution

Implement SOLIDWORKS design, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium analysis, and SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional product data management software solutions.

Results

  • Cut development time by 30 to 35 percent
  • Decreased product weight by 10 to 20 percent
  • Reduced prototyping/testing cycles by 30 to 40 percent
  • Increased payloads by one to two tons

We strive to produce the lightest, most effective conveyances for efficiently and safely transporting the greatest payloads. Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium tools, we have been able to reduce the weight of our structures by 10 to 20 percent while at the same time increasing payload capacity by one to two tons.
