Kysor Panel Systems

“Our workflow is connected electronically from the time a customer contacts us for a quote to when we ship the product.”
—Tom Williamson, Business Application Development Manager, Kysor Panel Systems

Project Summary
Founded in 1947, Kysor Panel Systems (Kysor) is now the leading North American supplier of coolers and freezers to the supermarket and convenience store industries, major food service projects, and environmental chambers. Kysor’s growth has been fueled by its ability to meet the design and timing needs of customers. In the past, this has required employees to put in long hours throughout the design workflow process, from developing quotes and designs through to manufacturing. Not anymore. Using Autodesk® Inventor™ software with integrated Autodesk® Design Review technology, Kysor has automated and accelerated its design creation and design review workflow, dramatically reducing paper use throughout. With an integrated workflow that uses Inventor and Design Review, Kysor is:

• Generating approval drawings in minutes instead of hours 
• Automating as much as 80% of its design process 
• Completing designs and reviews more than 25% faster 
• Sharing designs and collaborating with customers efficiently 
• Streamlining manufacturing by enabling shop floor staff to view, mark up, and measure designs
