Collaborative Design Efficiency Increases 30%! Bocheng Electric Streamlines R&D with CrownCAD
📅 2026-01-23
As a leading high-end manufacturing enterprise whose products are widely used in industries such as coal mining, power, and ports, Bocheng Electric operates multiple R&D centers. Previously, its technical teams faced significant challenges in cross-regional collaboration, including inefficient communication and cumbersome drawing version management, which directly hindered the pace of product iteration and innovation.
The development of Bocheng Electric’s latest hybrid drive integrated machine involved numerous iterative cycles across design, R&D, process engineering, and production. Under traditional workflows, drawings required manual transfer and verification across different locations—a process prone to errors and delays. As one of the company’s engineers remarked, “No single person can keep track of every detail, so we rely heavily on complete drawings and change records.” To address these challenges, CrownCAD provided a solution with its cloud-native architecture. Engineers in different cities can now collaborate in real time on the same 3D CAD model, enabling fully online management of the entire workflow—from model construction and drawing creation to change control. The system automatically records version history and all modifications, establishing a complete digital audit trail. This helps prevent errors caused by version confusion, reduces rework costs, and ensures that “one change updates everywhere,” significantly minimizing the delays and inaccuracies inherent in manual drawing exchanges. “Since implementing CrownCAD, our overall R&D and collaborative design efficiency has increased by approximately 30%. “ commented the General Manager of Bocheng Electric. “The platform also allows us to easily share lightweight models and design plans with upstream and downstream partners, further strengthening collaboration across the industrial chain.” As the global manufacturing industry places growing emphasis on collaborative design, cloud-based software and real-time data synchronization are becoming key trends. With its cloud-native architecture and collaboration-first design philosophy, CrownCAD enables multi-user real-time cooperation and automatic data synchronization, effectively addressing the collaboration constraints often encountered with traditional software.
