CrownCAD Helps Automation Companies Increase Productivity by 80% and Reduce Costs by 50%

Migrating to the cloud-native CrownCAD platform enabled Haozhong Automation to increase productivity by 80% and reduce costs by 50%, while smoothly handling assemblies of up to 300,000 components. Join SDE Tech in analyzing this real-world case study to clearly demonstrate the power of process optimization—from design to manufacturing—delivered by CrownCAD.

1. Overview of Haozhong Automation and Challenges in the Automotive Industry

Jinan Haozhong Automation Co., Ltd. is a leading high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D and manufacturing of high-speed automotive stamping robots and automated material handling systems. In the context of an automotive industry that increasingly demands high levels of customization and ever-shortening product life cycles, Haozhong faces intense pressure to meet strict production schedules while maintaining exceptional equipment quality.

2. Limitations of Traditional CAD Software

Before transitioning to CrownCAD, Haozhong Automation relied on simulation plugins built on foreign 3D CAD platforms but encountered several critical challenges:

• Slow data processing: Inconsistent performance when reading non-uniform 3D data, resulting in significant time consumption.
• Limited customization: Inability to manage robot-specific technical parameters, which negatively impacted R&D quality.
• Inaccurate simulation: Latency and discontinuous motion led to prolonged testing and validation cycles.
• High costs: Excessive licensing and operational expenses associated with foreign software solutions.

3. CrownCAD – A Breakthrough Cloud-Native CAD Solution for the Automation Industry

To comprehensively address the challenges above, Haozhong Automation partnered with a team of experts to deploy a digital engineering simulation platform based on CrownCAD. This is a fully cloud-native 3D CAD platform, delivering superior flexibility and performance compared to traditional CAD solutions.

4. Four Core Capabilities Powering Haozhong’s Breakthrough

• Cross-platform data interoperability: Supports more than 30 mainstream CAD formats, enabling engineers to seamlessly reuse models from multiple sources without data loss or compatibility issues.
• Parametric design: Automates the design process, allowing rapid and flexible modification of model dimensions and structures to accelerate engineering changes.
• Centralized model library: Consolidates all component data, technical specifications, and interaction behaviors into a single unified system, improving data governance and collaboration efficiency.
• Lightweight technology for large-scale assemblies: Haozhong’s production lines contain over 300,000 components. With CrownCAD’s lightweight data processing technology, engineers can smoothly load and visualize these massive assemblies while maintaining absolute accuracy.

“CrownCAD enables us to optimize structural design from the very beginning, minimize errors, and significantly shorten the cycle from design to production.” — Mr. Wu Zhenlin, Vice General Manager, Haozhong Automation.

4. Results: Significant Time Savings and Cost Optimization

The adoption of CrownCAD has delivered measurable, high-impact results for Haozhong Automation, creating a strong competitive advantage in the market:

• 81.9% improvement in design efficiency:
  Simulation processing time was reduced from 17.5 hours to just 3 hours.
• 49% reduction in operating costs:
  Software expenses decreased from RMB 156,000 to RMB 80,000.
• Over 50% lower investment costs compared to equivalent foreign software solutions.

“CrownCAD not only elevates our product quality but also enables us to expand its application into the mold and press machinery sectors, accelerating industrial manufacturing as a whole.” — Mr. Liu He, Chief Engineer, Haozhong Automation.
