The Challenge
Grotnes Inc., a leading roll forming company, needed to streamline their design calculation process which was previously done manually in spreadsheets, taking weeks per design iteration.
Our Solution
Our engineering team developed an automated calculation tool that integrates Grotnes' design parameters and manufacturing constraints, reducing design cycle time from weeks to days while improving accuracy and consistency.
Results
Achieved 90% reduction in design time, improved calculation accuracy to 99.8%, and generated $250K+ in cost savings for the partner company in the first year of implementation.
