Can your products compete with today’s smart technology?

It is clear the market for connected devices continues to grow. But, as we face the challenges of building ‘smart’ products, we are realising we need faster, better, smarter tools to create them. Part of that solution is using tools capable of bringing all the disparate processes onto a single, unified platform.

An estimated 20.8 Billion connected products will be in use by 2020*. Will you be designing these products or will you have been left behind?

All of the products in the SOLIDWORKS portfolio are geared to saving the designer time so they can get stuck into the job of designing for whatever industry you are in: Automatic creation of engineering drawings and bills of materials; automatic routing of piping and tubing/electrical cables; updating all part files with one click. Engineers can waste anything from 10 to 25 per cent of their day just searching for data. SOLIDWORKS PDM solves all this and also takes away the repetitive tasks of managing data such as automating the creation of .pdfs for Word, Excel, PowerPoint or having to manually fill in the title block information.

SOLIDWORKS PCB (formerly PCBWorks from Altium) unites the electrical (ECAD) and mechanical (MCAD) worlds by streamlining collaboration between the two bringing integration and harmony to the overall design process and ultimately delivering a single product to market faster.

Learn how SOLIDWORKS can help you design modern products. A single platform that brings mechanical, electrical, electronic, and system design work together can unify your processes to offer a faster, more intelligent way to develop smart products.
