CoCreate partner Borgware implemented the third-generation PLM solution (3G PLM).
At its Steinenbronn site, 60 Breuning IRCO employees produce high-quality loading magazines and unloading systems for turning and milling centres.
Over the past few years, Breuning says it has seen demand grow for complete turning solutions.
Last year alone, the company increased revenues 20% to Eur 12.9 million.
But sharp increases in demand can mean sharp hikes in development work for a company like Breuning.
It develops 30 to 40% of its loading systems according to customer specifications.
To speed projects and simplify the re-use of existing designs from similar projects, Breuning switched to CoCreate OneSpace Modeling.
The company's engineers liked the CAD system's ease of operation and the dynamic modelling based approach to 3D product development, which allowed them to make any change to models during the design phase and work with data from their colleagues without having to worry about the creation history.
Company designers manage and version their product data with CoCreate OneSpace Model Manager to make sure all company employees work with the most up to date information available.
Soon, the company will integrate OneSpace Model Manager with a newly installed Delta Business ERP system so it can automatically derive the parts lists from the product structure defined in the 3D system.
Thanks to the CoCreate solution, Breuning's development cycles have noticeably shortened.
Not only is design executed 70% faster, production and assembly have also accelerated thanks to a drastic reduction in the error rate.
The use of 3D CAD also speeds up the creation of technical documentation, which is indispensable when supplying machines.
"As a result of all these cost-saving factors today, we can take on more customer-specific projects and complex tasks than ever before", says Wolfgang Huslig, Sales Manager at Breuning IRCO.
