Blue Giant Reclaims Engineering Resources with CADLink

Blue Giant is a leader in the loading dock and material handling industry. Since 1963, Blue Giant has developed, manufactured and distributed dock levelers, ground-level lifts, vehicle restraints, and many other products.

As longtime Infor VISUAL users, Blue Giant had been entering their SOLIDWORKS PDM BOMs into VISUAL manually for 12 years. Their designs feature thousands of parts across a multi-level indented BOM. However, their engineering team had been simplifying their designs and “flattening” the BOM structure in an effort to reduce manual data entry work.

Blue Giant started an initiative to streamline their projects and overall data flow, which included CADLink.
