China Coal Research Institute Shanxi Coal Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. Automates Product Information Processing with PTC® Pro/ENGINEER®
PTC announced that China Coal Research Institute Shanxi Coal Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. has achieved greater automation, improved accuracy and increased efficiency in its production sector using PTC Pro/ENGINEER, PTC’s integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE product design solution. Shanxi Coal Machinery Equipment licensed Pro/ENGINEER through PTC channel partner E-Tech Technology Co. Ltd. to enhance its overall product design process and capabilities.
As a large-scale scientific research institution specializing in the development of coal mining equipment, the company’s R&D center is equipped with more than 470 scientific research personnel, specializing in design work. Its central laboratory is recognized as one of the 36 laboratory accreditation institutes in South America, Europe, South Africa, Asia-Pacific and other regions. The design department had historically relied on 2D CAD as its sole design software. With market developments, customers of Shanxi Coal Machinery Equipment are increasingly demanding personalized and co-developed product design. As a result, the use of traditional 2D design is no longer able to best meet the needs of the technology development. Therefore, Shanxi Coal Machinery Equipment decided to select a new design tool that could better satisfy customer needs and enhance design accuracy. After a comprehensive analysis of various mainstream MCAD solutions in the market, the company chose Pro/ENGINEER.
“Using Pro/ENGINEER allows us to improve our productivity with greater automation and accuracy, thus enhancing our competitiveness in the industry, and establishing a solid foundation for our future development. In addition, E-Tech’s high quality after-sales and training service constitute the most important technical guarantee for our enterprise to successfully adopt Pro/ENGINEER,” said Mr. Zhi Wei Yan, Office Director of Shanxi Coal Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd.
“By taking advantage of the powerful and easy to use capabilities of Pro/ENGINEER, such as 3D design, analysis, visualization and automation, our customers are able to increase core competitive capabilities in the market.” said Robert Kocis, divisional vice president, sales, PTC. “PTC is committed to helping customers like Shanxi Coal Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., the leader in coal machinery equipment industry to realize their product automatic processing goals and enhance their productivity by using our overall product development solutions.”
