Inauen-Schaetti Standardizes on PTC CoCreate

By DE Editors

PTC (Needham, MA) announced that Inauen-Schaetti (Schwanden, Switzerland), an international company for the development and construction of cable lift systems, has standardized on CoCreate, PTC's modeling and data management software for designing its products. Inauen-Schaetti uses CoCreate Modeling and CoCreate Model Manager for design flexibility and project management of all its products. ACADIS partner, COP Informatik AG, implemented the solutions and provides complete support to the company.

Inauen-Schaetti designs cable systems, masts, and gondola stations for ski lifts, monorail lift systems, inclined elevators for mountainous terrain, transport systems for tunnel drilling, and controlled avalanche detonation machinery for customers on all of the continents. Designing these systems is a highly iterative and open process as each system must be tailored to fit the mountain type, size, shape, terrain, and weather conditions.

Inauen-Schaetti also uses CoCreate Model Manager in conjunction with CoCreate Modeling for fail-proof project management, collaboration, and control of design data across its sites worldwide. The company says that in addition to the immeasurable success CoCreate Modeling has brought, CoCreate Model Manager has reduced project length by 15-20 percent.
