About Customer

Crizaf is a leading developer and manufacturer of custom-engineered conveyor belts, separators, filling and storage systems, and weighing and counting systems. Founded in Italy in 1954, the company has grown to become a multinational organization with production sites in Italy, the United States, Brazil, and India; distributors in 30 countries; and a worldwide sales force. Crizaf products are used in a range of fields, including the automotive, container, cosmetics, electric, electronic, food, household appliance, medical/pharmaceutical, packaging, and recycling industries.

Solution

Crizaf implemented SOLIDWORKS Standard and SOLIDWORKS Professional design software to resolve their issues. The company standardized on SOLIDWORKS in 2015 because the solution is easy to use, facilitates design changes, and encourages collaborative teamwork. Since implementing SOLIDWORKS, Crizaf has improved its ability to leverage AutoCAD 2D data for new projects and has enjoyed greater flexibility and stability when making design changes. The move to SOLIDWORKS has allowed Crizaf to reduce design cycles and shorten time-to-market for its custom-engineered systems by 15 to 20 percent.

Impact #1	Crizaf has improved its ability to leverage AutoCAD 2D data for new projects and has enjoyed greater flexibility and stability when making design changes.
Impact #2	The move to SOLIDWORKS has allowed Crizaf to reduce design cycles and shorten time-to-market for its custom-engineered systems by 15 to 20 percent.
Impact #3	Crizaf has increased design reuse by 15 percent because they can quickly and easily adapt previous designs to meet new requirements.
