Case Study: Xylem

Global leader in water treatment and transportation solutions serving utility, industrial, commercial, and residential markets worldwide.

From Skepticism to Success in ETO Automation

Xylem's Leopold division faced growing pressure from manual 2D design processes that created bottlenecks, errors, and inefficiencies in its custom Engineered-to-Order water treatment projects. The company needed a way to improve quality, increase throughput, and support continued growth—without adding engineering staff.

By implementing SIGMAXIM SmartAssembly within Creo, Xylem automated critical design and documentation processes, embedded engineering standards directly into workflows, and transformed how custom products were designed and delivered.

Highlights

  • Dramatically reduced engineering errors
  • Increased throughput without adding staff
  • Faster BOM and drawing generation
  • Realistic 3D models for sales, marketing, and consulting engineers
  • Design rules and standards automatically enforced
  • More engineering time available for innovation and process improvement

Discover how Xylem overcame skepticism about automating highly customized ETO products and achieved greater accuracy, standardization, and productivity through Creo automation. Read the full case study.
