Lakshmi Life Sciences Limited Customer Story

Lakshmi Life Sciences Limited (LLS), has been serving the industry for more than a decade under different names such as LTE, Quattro InfoTech.LLS is an associate Company of Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd (LMW), a leading Textile Machinery Manufacturer in India. LLS has a fully integrated plant having state-of-art 'Injection Moulding’ machines, New product design team for making its own lineage of products and Value Added Engineering services for existing products.

“The successful implementation of PTC Creo2.0 has significantly improved our Product design quality and reduced the work time with better efficiency”- S.Prabakaran-Plant Head

Initiatives:

LLS needed to produce error free design with minimum lead time for favouring the manufacturing department needs. Customer satisfaction by delivering High Quality products in a very short time.

Solution:

Performing the Design solution with Value added Golden Partner Adroitec through PTC Creo Parametric 2.0 and Mold Design Solution PTC Creo 2.0 is used for product design to check the manufacturing feasibility.

Results:

Reduced Product Design time by 20% through advanced Tools in PTC Creo 2.0 Easier Design Modification due to Late design changes and saves time Design Quality is increased. Error and rework is reduced by 25%.

Implementation of Windchill across plants in AGI Glaspac

Business Impact:

New product development lead time reduced by almost 30%. In less than 3 weeks AGI
could make the concept a reality. Sales from New products grown significantly with increase in customers
satisfaction. As the hassle of releasing up to date drawings for manufacturing every time is taken away, Productivity increased from Design and development team.

The Challenge:

AGI started a new plant and the capacity almost doubled, obviously we needed to develop and market new products rapidly. With manual Enquiry process and release of drawings, the risk of delay and errors were very high, reworking of moulds re drawing samples were at a huge cost due to continuous process nature of Glass making , therefore we were looking to Automate enquiry and drive the entire product development cycle.

The Solution:

Windchill was a natural solution for us as we were already partners with PTC and Adroitec with Pro/E software for our CAD needs.

Implementation:

AGI implemented Windchill across plants. Enquiry process is automated and Marketing team can now generate enquiries from customers place and get online feedback and kick start product development and give approvals. Internal teams comprising Mould shop, Forming and quality get task to complete, with online access to latest drawings and 3D CAD data, practically scope of errors became zero.

RAAW: A New Take on the Mountain Bike

German language magazine, Prime Mountain Bike, recently published a story about the RAAW Madonna, an aluminum-frame enduro bike, meant to perform on rugged terrain.

Here are few excerpts:

Ruben Torenbeek is the man behind the RAAW brand, which he founded in 2016. Innovative ideas, a simple yet elegant design and a thoroughly thought-out design, make his RAAW Madonna come to life.

The RAAW Brand 

After seven years of experience as a bike engineer and designer in the wheel industry, Torenbeek took the helm of the company. In his opinion, the wheel industry has focused on developing great revolutionary ideas. But has neglected the optimization of existing achievements.

With the most advanced hydroforming technology, RAAW seeks to show what is possible with aluminum. The company creates 3D CAD models with Creo Parametric software, to get the perfect maximum out of the aluminum frame construction. Modern forging, milling, and hydrforming technology creates a technical look with an independent design and an S-shaped lower tube.

The RAAW Madonna

In the development of the Madonna, the focus was on achieving trail bests and at the same time creating a long-lasting design and uncompromising functionality down to the smallest detail. The harder the trail, the higher speeds the Madonna should allow. But it should also offer the highest possible efficiency. Read the whole article here.
