Suprajit Engineering, India’s largest cable maker and global leader in the two-wheeler cable market, wanted to boost productivity, reduce product development cycle times and meet its customers’ requirements in a cost-efficient way. The company uses the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and ENOVIA for improved project and process management and all of its advanced product quality planning (APQP) processes.
With 3DEXPERIENCE and ENOVIA, Suprajit can synchronize multi-site projects, development changes, product data and requirements management in real time. The company has been able to reduce part and document redundancies in its systems from 25,000 parts down to just 15,000, allowing it to reduce the time and cost of new product development. Suprajit credits a 40% efficiency gain to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
Engineers working in Suprajit’s 16 plants across India now have a common interface to share ideas, work on and reuse designs and easily share product updates.

“The biggest improvement the platform has brought is that we don’t do the same work twice. If someone in our plant in the north has done a certain development for a customer, it has already been proven. Then someone in the south can look at that work, take inspiration from it and use it to solve their own problem. Before, all our plants were working in silos, and they were all doing their own research and development (R&D). Certain parts were being developed more than once, meaning we have used our engineering resources more than we needed for the same problem. This issue has been solved with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.”
As a domestic and global supplier, Suprajit needs to be able to keep up with its clients’ unique requirements, which vary from location to location. With ENOVIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Suprajit is now able to take advantage of of applications, that specify individual customer processes and nomenclature, track milestones and revisions and ensure information requirements are met at every stage.
“Each OEM requires us to follow their quality processes," Aratoli explains. "Using the project management application, we can feed customers’ own nomenclature into the system and work from that, ensuring we never miss any tasks, quality gates or milestones. We have improved efficiency in this area by more than 30%.”
These industry-specific features are helping Suprajit to ensure quality throughout the product development cycle, respond quickly to request for quotes (RFQs), meet client deadlines and optimize change management.
