Fletcher Burwell-Taylor Ltd is a premium furniture design company.

Amongst traditional and modern design methods of using high quality woods, other materials and finishes, they have combined their art with good mechanical design skills of their partners to achieve some very unique products. One of these products is an automatic radially expanding table. These are some very exclusive designs with intricate mechanisms and small margins for error.

SolidWorks was used as the mechanical design software coupled with RevZone Product Data Management system. This design consists of more than 2,500 components, hundreds of assemblies, in-context designs and heavy use of configurations. Previous design was managed through a 2D system and simple file management. SolidWorks simplified the design drastically whereas RevZone cut down Bill Of Materials creations, searching and document findings, Where Used information, related files management, revision control, batch printing, batch conversions to DWG, eDrawings and PDF formats, and more. This partnership between SolidWorks and RevZone meant that such innovative and exclusive design not only operates as good as it looks but at minimum assembly time and with the amount of re-work reduced to a minimum.

Hi-Press Hydraulics provide a national and international service for the supply, hire and maintenance of an extensive range of both high and low pressure hydraulic equipment. Hi-Press also offer a design and manufacture facility for bespoke applications. Operating in some very demanding industries presents many opportunities and above all very little margin for error.

High Press Hydraulics (Cumbria) chose SolidWorks for their mechanical designs and RevZone as their Product Data Management solution. RevZone provides easy access to the exact state of previous revisions and easily maintains all part number entries while automatically building all dependencies. RevZone has been exceptionally easy when it comes to quickly finding and launching parts/assemblies or their related drawings. The more and more RevZone is used at High Press Hydraulics the more benefits are apparent in using this Data Management approach.

RevZone has a great ability to import legacy data straight into a project. This can be from existing custom properties in an assembly, or even scanning an entire windows folder and moving/copying parts/assemblies/drawings to their respective project defined locations and applying values automatically. Making designers job easier and maintaining good and easy control over the data is after all what an Engineering Data Management system should be all about.

SECC, part of Cygnet Engineering Developments group, is a very innovative company in the Oil & Gas and Hydraulics industries based in Cheshire, UK.

Their technology is focused on joining pipes or hoses of any size, working at any internal pressure, without the need for threaded technology or latches. The technology is very simple in design and this makes it very safe for a wide variety of applications. With the further development of the Hot Make Hot Break Dry coupling SECC have been able to address the growing concerns about environmental issues associated with damage to hoses and pipelines from external axial loadings.

As working pressures and depths for sub-sea applications are ever increasing, the scalability of the SECC technology makes it an increasingly effective and necessary solution.

The Oil and Gas industry is highly regulated where documentation, procedures, material traceability and process control are critical for companies' success. SECC has chosen RevZone Product Data Management to streamline their design processes and document management.

Cygnet Engineering Developments was formed in 2008, as a result of other group companies being unable to find the level of flexible engineering resource that they required. The demands of tightly managing costs, without losing the ability to service large projects and short deliveries, were making it very difficult to have a competitive advantage in the global market place. The flexibility in approach of the Cygnet Engineering Developments team, has allowed our clients to remain lean and efficient, whilst retaining the ability to expand quickly.

CED are involved in a variety of projects and industries utilising state of the art engineering software tools. They have chosen to use RevZone to manage their data, documents and processes.

All items are made to measure, the result of either a site survey by one of our own staff or detailed customer requirements confirmed by the production of a CAD working drawing by our own in-house drawing office.

High tech design tools and automation with a difference. Lines & Jones Ltd have implemented SolidWorks to design their products as efficiently as possible. With our help Lines & Jones have automated their system in order to produce customer and manufacture ready drawings with a few clicks of the mouse.

This is achieved by non-CAD (SolidWorks) aware members of their staff hence freeing resources to their Design Office to develop new products.
