Following a series of acquisitions, Wittur, a leading manufacturer of elevator components, modules and systems, needed to leverage the massive amount of diverse data across its globally-located plants and to increase part reuse.

The company adopted Dassault Systèmes’ EXALEAD OnePart search application to provide its sites with access to a consolidated source of standardized information to meet their needs.

• Wittur is able to search through its various data sources - SOLIDWORKS® PDM Professional for geometry as well as other legacy SQL databases - reducing the time engineers spend looking for information by more than 20 hours per day, which represents over €180,000 per year.
• EXALEAD also helps them find existing parts for reuse in new projects, which avoids unnecessarily creating new ones.
