Kaon Consulting powers ahead with SOLIDWORKS®

SOLDIWORKS improves productivity and functionality for engineering consulting and power equipment design

Who

Kaon Consulting: an engineering consulting, project management and power equipment design firm

What

SOLIDWORKS®, with SOLIDWORKS® Simulation for integrated Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Where

Loganholme, Queensland, Australia

Why

“Kaon is the only industrial consultancy in Australia to offer a money-back guarantee on performance, so we have to be very sure our internal processes and platforms are optimised to deliver, or we risk losing revenue,” says Brett Watson, Director, Kaon Consulting.

“If our customers don’t achieve a 15 per cent improvement in productivity, without significant capital investment, we refund 30 per cent of our fees. That’s a fairly high bar that we’ve set ourselves and SolidWorks is an integral part of helping us reach it.”

Results

SOLIDWORKS has improved design uptime for Kaon by up to 15 per cent over its previous design software.

“Our previous system was unstable to the point of distraction – especially with large models and concepts. SOLIDWORKS solved these issues while introducing new and powerful functionality that has helped us markedly improve our business,” Brett says.
