CrownCAD Empowers Exoskeleton Robot Innovation and Drives Cost Reduction & Efficiency Improvement for Kenqing Technology

However, the cost pressures behind this expansion have become increasingly prominent: traditional commercial 3D CAD software is expensive. Enterprises only get to use a handful of features but have to bear the full cost, resulting in severe resource waste. Meanwhile, traditional software imposes stringent hardware requirements, and the procurement cost of high-end workstations has further added to the financial burden on enterprises. Against this backdrop, seeking a highly adaptable solution to cut costs and boost efficiency has become a top priority for Kenqing Technology.

After conducting a comprehensive comparison of multiple software options, Kenqing Technology ultimately selected CrownCAD, HoteamSoft’s self-developed CAD platform. This software not only features low cost and modest hardware requirements, but also boasts operating habits highly compatible with other traditional mainstream CAD software. It can fully meet daily design needs and is equipped with robust collaborative capabilities.

Precisely Meeting the Core Requirements of Exoskeleton Design

In the initial phase of the collaboration, HoteamSoft provided targeted training for Kenqing Technology’s team members. After the training, the engineers were able to master the software independently in a short time. Specifically, the engineer responsible for the design of waist-assisted exoskeletons joined the product optimization project on the very same day, achieving a seamless transition and smooth project handover.

CrownCAD’s functionalities are precisely tailored to the multi-category, high-precision requirements of exoskeleton design. When developing new models of walking-assisted exoskeletons, engineers leverage its modeling capabilities to build digital prototypes, and use the assembly module to catch errors earlier, reducing design error rates, cutting down on physical prototype production, and shortening the R&D cycle. The multi-solid modeling function supports the creation of multiple entities within a part environment, enhancing design flexibility. Meanwhile, the software is compatible with multiple file formats, allowing for direct import and reuse of existing models with editable features, thus minimizing redundant work.

The efficient collaboration and secure protection of design outputs represent another key dimension of how CrownCAD empowers enterprises. When engaging with suppliers, engineers simply export design models in the native file formats required by partners and share the files promptly, enabling smooth data exchange without concerns over format compatibility. For internal collaboration, efficiency has achieved a qualitative leap. When a team needs to jointly complete the design and review of a fire-fighting exoskeleton, engineers can use the sharing function to allow colleagues to easily access source files and participate in the design process. System-level data transmission ensures that changes to sub-components are synced to higher-level assemblies in real time—a highly efficient collaborative model that previously could only be achieved via PDM/PLM systems.

For enterprise management, CrownCAD has resolved the long-standing design data management challenges that plagued Kenqing Technology. In the past, design files were dispersedly stored on the personal computers of individual engineers. This not only made file retrieval inconvenient, but also exposed the data to risks of loss and leakage, posing significant challenges to the enterprise’s data governance. After the adoption of CrownCAD, all design data is centrally stored on servers, achieving end-to-end data circulation without local file storage. IT administrators can quickly retrieve files based on multiple dimensions such as project, time period, and designer, making both daily data management and special audits highly efficient and convenient. Meanwhile, the system ensures robust data security through granular permission control.

Furthermore, CrownCAD’s real-time auto-save and robust version management capabilities have built an even stronger security barrier for design, making the design process more controllable and the outcomes more reliable.

Cost Reduction, Efficiency Improvement : Accelerating Innovation and Deepening Cooperation

CrownCAD has delivered significant benefits to Kenqing Technology: the software procurement cost is lower than that of traditional CAD software, and hardware investment has been drastically reduced. The capital saved has been allocated to the R&D of core exoskeleton technologies, accelerating the launch of new products.

Kenqing Technology has proactively placed additional orders to expand its industrial exoskeleton R&D team, meeting the needs of business expansion. This stands as the best testament to the effectiveness of the cooperation between the two parties.
