Fisher & Paykel Production Machinery, subsidiary of the international Fisher & Paykel Appliance Group, have implemented Intercad’s SolidWorks 3D CAD to increase productivity by a minimum of 15%. Fisher & Paykel Production Machinery design and produce plants and production lines for Fisher & Paykel Appliance Group product range of washers, driers, ranges and refrigerators.
Fisher & Paykel production machinery challenges include:
- Having the availability of a local pool of contractors
- Ability to easily retain knowledge of the product for infrequent users
- Relying on local support as the existing support was non-existent
- Simple to install and configure product that any non-technical person could do
SolidWorks and Intercad benefits include:
- 60 to 70% quicker for new users to get up to speed especially when the user has no 3D experience
- Better training including custom and new courses
- Free and easy to use by non cad literate staff members
- Intercad’s local support is an alternative to in-house system of support and training
