Key results
HydroSym enabled HydTec to create and design schematics faster, for both rebuilds and new systems.
HydroSym’s Component Libary, featuring manufacturer-specific symbols, reduces the need for HydTec to create ISO symbols manually, resulting in improved accuracy and time savings.
Paro’s responsive software development department turns user feedback into new features and improvements in a matter of days, not years.
With over 10 years of trusted use, HydroSym has consistently delivered faster, smarter, and more consistent hydraulic system design, proving its long-term value to HydTec.
The client
Based in Sweden, HydTec is a top supplier of Parker Hannifin hydraulic and pneumatic products. They provide support, maintenance, and custom system solutions, helping clients find the right solutions for both simple and complex hydraulic issues.
The challenge
HydTec faced several challenges in their hydraulic design workflows. These obstacles slowed project completion and system development. The three main challenges were:
Time-consuming hydraulic diagram creation: Drawing hydraulic schematics for rebuilds and new projects took too long, delaying completion.
Limited symbol availability: A lack of manufacturer-specific symbols forced the creation of custom ISO symbols, which added time to the design.
Lack of responsive support and development: Previous software providers were slow to implement user feedback, delaying improvements and limiting features.
How did Paro help?
To tackle these issues, HydTec implemented HydroSym — a product they’ve been using for over 10 years now.
HydroSym offered:
Streamlined hydraulic design workflows: HydroSym significantly cut the time needed to create hydraulic diagrams for rebuilds and new projects.
A comprehensive symbol library: With many manufacturer-specific symbols, HydTec rarely needed to create custom or ISO symbols, speeding up design work.
Exceptional support and rapid updates: Despite being a small company, HydTec received prompt support and quick feedback implementation, with upgrades delivered in days instead of years.
Continuous improvement with industry-focused features: Paro’s commitment to the hydraulic sector ensures ongoing software development, making previously imperfect features perform optimally.
“HydroSym has greatly simplified our daily work by streamlining the time it takes to draw a hydraulic diagram, whether it’s for a rebuild or a new project.”
Impact
Accelerated design process: HydroSym streamlined hydraulic diagram creation, saving time on both new projects and rebuilds
Enhanced design efficiency: The Paro Component Library reduced manual tasks, allowing for faster and more accurate schematic creation
Improved user experience and innovation: Continuous updates based on user feedback made HydroSym more efficient and user-friendly.
Conclusion
By adopting HydroSym, HydTec transformed their hydraulic design process. They achieved greater efficiency, accuracy, and responsiveness. With faster schematic creation, a rich symbol library, and quick feature updates, HydTec confidently delivers high-quality hydraulic solutions.
