The backbone of Korea’s manufacturing industry lies in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, many SMEs still rely on manual design processes, depending heavily on analog workflows. As industries advance, products grow increasingly complex and global competition intensifies, making digital transformation (DX) not a choice but a necessity for achieving both efficiency and quality.

According to the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, the adoption rate of smart factories in Korea’s manufacturing sector remains only at 19%, and just 18% among SMEs. The biggest obstacles for SMEs are high implementation costs and a shortage of specialized talent.

CADvizor: A Tailored Design Innovation Tool for SMEs

Yura’s CADvizor is a specialized electrical design CAD solution developed with the realities of SMEs in mind.

  • Short Learning Curve: Employees can be field-ready after just three hours of training, minimizing retraining costs.

  • Cost Efficiency: Delivered as a cloud-based SaaS solution, eliminating the need for server infrastructure and lowering operational expenses.

  • Automated Verification: Built-in DRC (Design Rule Check) and real-time simulation reduce errors and rework.

  • Extensive Library: Access to over 2 million standardized components enables faster and more accurate design.

Proven Cost and Time Savings

Data from companies that have adopted digital transformation confirms the benefits:

  • 30–40% reduction in design time

  • Up to 90% reduction in verification time

  • 50% reduction in rework rates

These results translate directly into lower labor costs, shorter delivery times, and stronger responsiveness to customer needs. For SMEs, the impact is even more significant.

Real-World SME Applications

Company H increased productivity by 30% and reduced design verification time by more than 90% after implementing CADvizor. Company T, using CADvizor for electric truck electrical design, leveraged data integration and wiring simulation features to improve both design quality and collaboration efficiency.

Digital Transformation Made Real with CADvizor

For SMEs, digital transformation is still a difficult challenge. Yet CADvizor’s low cost, high efficiency, rapid learning and deployment, automation, and cloud scalability provide a practical path for SMEs to achieve global-level competitiveness. CADvizor is now establishing itself as a true partner for SME digital transformation.
