Monorail And Plant Automation Company Switches To SolidWorks Software To Reduce Costs, Enhance Productivity

Concord, MA - Swiss mechanical engineering company Montech, specializing in monorail, transportation, automation, and conveyor systems since 1963, has standardized on SolidWorks® software for all of its new designs. SolidWorks 3D CAD software is believed to have reduced the company's training, maintenance, and upgrade costs while dramatically enhancing productivity as it creates world-class solutions for customers like ABB, Bose, Kirby, Volvo, and Universal Avionics. The company's design engineers particularly value its ease of use and ability to detect collisions in the early stages of its product designs. Montech's previous software was consuming too many training, maintenance, and upgrade costs.

Detecting collisions in assembly designs at an early stage saves time and money that would otherwise be spent on exhaustive redesign and error correction. The company is reaping further benefits from its extensive use of SolidWorks' free-form design functions for elegant surfaces on high-visibility parts.

Montech relies on authorized SolidWorks reseller Solid Solutions for training, implementation, and support.
