3 ways Siemens mechanical design solutions for SMBs help reduce time to market

As a CAD or IT manager at a small/medium-sized business or start-up company, you understand the importance of optimizing design between different platforms to deliver products to the market faster. Companies implementing integrated design solutions to simplify design through manufacturing can introduce new products up to 30% faster to the market. With over 30 years of engineering experience, I recommend two articles that discuss how companies like yours save time in this field. 

In article one, titled “Best CAD Software for Small and Medium Businesses,” David Lyell, marketing manager at Siemens Digital Industries Software, serving the Small and Medium Business (SMB) sector, discusses the challenges facing SMBs in the manufacturing environment. In particular, managing product complexity to reduce time to market, streamlining tasks like testing, simulation, collaboration, and part reuse into a unified Computer-Aided Design (CAD) environment. By embracing this solution, companies like STARTEK have reduced project time by 30%

In article two, “Leveraging Integrated Design in Small and Medium Businesses with Solid Edge,” David covers next-generation design where small and medium businesses (SMBs) face the relentless pressures of global competition, specifically, how Solid Edge is a great entry point that helps SMBs adopt a unified design system undeterred by perceived complexities, costs, and resource constraints, once considered the preserve of large enterprise. 

Act Now  

Leveraging over 35 years of experience in the industry and working for a software vendor, I have selected two great articles that focus on three topics to help you overcome the perceived barriers small businesses face when choosing the best-integrated design system for your company. 

  • Optimise design integration: Focus on innovation rather than navigating software complexities, significantly enhancing productivity and reducing the time required to master the tools. 
  • Simplify design challenges: Tackle complex design engineering challenges more efficiently and accurately. 
  • Accelerate new-product introduction: Enhanced communication, improved performance, streamlined manufacturing & optimized data management.
