In the context of a rapidly transforming global manufacturing industry, the ability to collaborate and synchronize data in real time has become a critical factor determining the pace of product innovation. Recently, Bocheng Electric – a manufacturer of high-end equipment used in coal mining, power generation, and port operations – recorded a 30% increase in design efficiency thanks to the successful implementation of CrownCAD. Let SDE Tech explore how this cloud-native CAD platform enabled Bocheng Electric to effectively resolve multi-site R&D challenges.
1. Challenges in R&D management for multi-site enterprises
As a corporation operating multiple distributed R&D centers, the engineering team at Bocheng Electric faced significant challenges in cross-regional collaboration.
In particular, during the development of their latest hybrid drive integrated system, the product required continuous iterations across multiple stages: design, R&D, process engineering, and manufacturing. Under traditional workflows, drawings had to be manually transferred and validated across different locations. This lack of synchronization resulted in:
- Inefficient communication: Delays in feedback and information updates.
- Version control risks: High likelihood of errors due to multiple scattered drawing versions.
An engineer from the company shared: “No single individual can closely track every minor detail. Therefore, we heavily rely on the integrity of drawings and change history records.” These delays and inaccuracies directly hindered the company’s iteration speed and product innovation.
2. Cloud-Native solution from CrownCAD: Synchronizing the entire workflow
To overcome spatial and temporal barriers, Bocheng Electric transitioned to CrownCAD – a cloud-native 3D design platform. This solution brought transformative changes to the R&D team:
- Real-time co-design: Engineers in different cities can now work simultaneously on a single 3D CAD model.
- 100% online workflow management: From 3D modeling and 2D drawing generation to change control, all processes are handled within a single platform.
- Digital audit trail: The system automatically records version history and all user modifications.
The principle of “One change – System-wide update” completely eliminates version confusion, reduces rework costs, and resolves delays caused by manual drawing exchange.
3. Outstanding results: 30% efficiency improvement and supply chain optimization
With the strong support of CrownCAD, Bocheng Electric achieved remarkable results.
The CEO of Bocheng Electric stated: “Since adopting CrownCAD, our overall R&D and collaborative design efficiency has increased by approximately 30%. Moreover, the platform allows us to easily share lightweight design models with upstream and downstream partners, strengthening collaboration across the entire industrial value chain.”
4. CrownCAD – Leading the trend of cloud-based 3D design
As the global manufacturing industry increasingly emphasizes collaborative design, cloud-based software and real-time data synchronization are becoming inevitable trends. With the philosophy “Collaboration First,” CrownCAD effectively addresses the inherent limitations of traditional CAD software.
