Bottle manufacturer drastically reduces the workload for its designers while building efficiency into the design process

Toyo Seikan has been producing PET bottles, cans, plastic and metal packaging containers since 1917. Since 2008, they have been using PARTsolutions Strategic Parts Management software to support their engineering efforts.  The Japanese manufacturer employs the software as a part search tool and supplier parts library. Due to the use of numerous supplier parts in Toyo Seikan products, the ability to rapidly obtain accurate 3D CAD data was an important factor for their selection of PARTsolutions SPM. Other driving factors include their goal of reducing their man-hour design costs and the ability for the software to “easily to integrate in existing systems”.

It’s pivotal to go digital!
