"Our success depends largely on our capacity to quickly and flexibly adapt to the demands of our customers," said Ercument Hizal, general manager of Wittur Turkey.
"And while we're focused on 3D, we need full access to our 2D data and the ability to move back and forth between drawing and solid modeling".
"SolidWorks was superior even to AutoCAD Inventor in this regard and was the optimal answer to our designers' needs." Wittur Turkey is a member of the Wittur Group, the global leader in elevator components manufacturing.
Wittur Turkey produces elevators for passenger, freight, hospital, and panoramic applications as well as shaft systems and a wide range of standard and customized components.
In addition to SolidWorks 3D CAD software, Wittur Turkey has purchased COSMOSWorks analysis software, PDMWorks product data management software, and PhotoWorks rendering software - tools that help Wittur Turkey further reduce production time and cost.
COSMOSWorks software helps Wittur Turkey's design engineers ensure the safety of the elevators, enabling iterative testing directly from the SolidWorks interface.
COSMOSWorks also minimizes overdesign, significantly reducing costs throughout all design and production phases.
Wittur Turkey is using the eDrawings e-mail-based collaboration tool to shorten approval and confirmation processes with customers.
"Wittur Turkey is a much-admired leader in elevator technology, manufacturing, and customer satisfaction," said Rainer Gawlick, SolidWorks Corporation's vice president of worldwide marketing.
"The measures it has taken to improve design processes have had a direct, significant, and quantifiable impact on its business".
"SolidWorks Corporation will continue to meet the needs of companies like Wittur Turkey, supporting their single-minded endeavor to provide their many important customers with better products".
Wittur Turkey relies on SolidWorks reseller Umtas A.S.for ongoing software training, implementation, and support.
