UGS PLM Software SUCCEEDING WITH SOLID EDGE Heating up innovation. Superior Radiant Products (SRP) is a world leader in space heating equipment for commercial, industrial, agricultural, and residential applications. To maintain its advantage in a crowded marketplace, SRP must continually innovate. Proper installation and use of SRP’s products are key to customer satisfaction. “When people had problems, we could almost always trace it back to installation,” says Pat Caruso of SRP. With this knowledge, SRP decided to give its users and installers a better manual – one with photorealistic, easy-to-understand product graphics. After considering competitive products, including SolidWorks® software, SRP chose UGS Solid Edge™ software from UGS PLM Software, a global division of Siemens Automation and Drives. Why? “When I saw Solid Edge, the choice became clear – its rendering capability is so much better and its intuitive interface knows what your next logical step is,” says Caruso. Now all of Superior’s products are designed using the software, fueling new product innovation and improving collaboration. “I didn’t want to compromise what our company needed. We now have a competitive advantage because I took the time to consider what was best for our company.” Solid Edge® software is a powerful hybrid 2D/3D design system and a core component of the UGS Velocity Series™ portfolio. Solid Edge provides superior part and assembly modeling, drafting, transparent data management, and built-in finite element analysis. Dare to Compare.
