Key results
By eliminating repetitive symbol drawing with HydroSym’s Component Library, engineers saved time on design tasks, which allowed them to focus more on quality and innovation.
The Paro Component Library ensured standardization without sacrificing customization, providing high-quality components that were flexible enough to produce bespoke systems.
HydroSym’s linked product data and pricing enabled faster and more accurate quote generation, reducing turnaround time and enhancing customer responsiveness.
With its intuitive interface, HydroSym was adopted across departments and used more widely throughout the organization, even by sales teams in commercial processes.
The client
With over 50 years of expertise, Viereck & Co specializes in hydraulic solutions for industries such as shipbuilding, wind energy, and machinery. They deliver high-quality systems to their wide range of customers by combining hydraulics and electronics, even in niche markets like theater cooling.
The challenge
Viereck & Co faced four key challenges:
Repetitive tasks: Engineers manually drew hydraulic components and symbols, which resulted in wasted time, increased errors, and design inconsistencies.
Balancing customization and standardization: They needed to offer high-quality, standardized components while providing bespoke solutions.
Inefficient custom design: Traditional CAD software lacked the optimization needed for hydraulic design, slowing down the process.
Limited CAD capabilities: Existing software made fast turnarounds and reliable schematics difficult.
How did Paro help?
Eliminated repetitive tasks with the Paro Component Library: Engineers no longer manually create symbols. If a component is missing, Paro provides it, ensuring a complete library.
Improved design efficiency: HydroSym’s smart connection lines let users connect components with one click, keeping connections intact even when elements are moved.
Facilitated easy customization: The Component Library provides standard components, helping engineers create high-quality bespoke solutions.
Streamlined schematic information: HydroSym's Pack & Save feature allows customers to receive a .zip file with the schematic PDF and manufacturers’ datasheets, linking all component details within the software.
“HydroSym’s design optimization proves that Paro Software knows hydraulic system design better than anyone.”
Impact
Broadened software use: Sales employees now use HydroSym, highlighting its ease of use and value across departments.
Simplified hydraulic design: HydroSym makes designing a bridge windlass hydraulic system as simple as designing a kitchen.
Enabled quick, accurate quotes: Linked product details and pricing allow Viereck & Co to generate detailed, accurate quotes rapidly.
Integrated smart design: HydroSym has become essential in the workflow, ensuring faster designs without sacrificing quality.
Conclusion
With Paro Software, Viereck & Co transformed their hydraulic design process by eliminating inefficiencies, enhancing collaboration, and delivering faster, more accurate schematics. By integrating HydroSym into their workflow, they’ve not only improved engineering efficiency but also expanded the software’s use beyond the design team.
The result? A streamlined, smarter approach to hydraulic system design that saves time, ensures precision, and supports business growth.
