Laitram Machinery designs, manufactures, and services automated systems for peeling, deveining, grading, blanching, cooking, and pasteurizing warm- and cold-water shrimp. As these machines evolve to integrate motion, electrical logic, vision systems, sensors, and machine data, managing design complexity becomes increasingly important. Laitram uses SOLIDWORKS Design for mechanical modelling, assemblies, drawings, sheet metal design, and interference detection.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic supports electrical design changes, SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional manages file checkout and revisions, and SOLIDWORKS Visualize creates realistic equipment imagery for stakeholders and customers. Flat pattern generation and interference detection help identify issues before welding and manufacturing, while SOLIDWORKS simulation and analysis help reduce extensive physical testing. By understanding food processors’ problems, Laitram aims to develop new products and applications, while refining its processes for more consistent results and less waste.
