A Customer Story: NITA

Smart and Modular Labeling Solutions, Powered By Innovation

Since 2008, NITA Inc. has been revolutionizing the labeling market with technologically advanced systems and operational simplicity by completely rethinking the operation of traditional inline labelers.

NITA has created an optimized machine with standard, robust, and easy-to-maintain electronic components. The result: an intuitive and high-performing solution that is serving several big names in the goods-producing sector today.

Building on its success, the company recently acquired Shorewood Engineering (Minnesota), thus expanding its offering to include rotary labeling machines and integrating its known expertise.

Digital Tools to Enhance Performance

The NITA team leans on SOLIDWORKS to design its modular machines, adapt its models to customer needs, and continuously innovate. SOLIDWORKS PDM structures technical data and facilitates exchanges between departments.

DraftSight is used from the first design stages to quickly generate line drawings tailored to client projects — a valuable asset for sales teams.

A Multi-Sectoral Presence

NITA serves a wide variety of industries, including food (especially maple syrup), pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, transportation and consumer goods, and any company with a need for precise and reliable labeling.

KBEWorks: Moving Toward Smart Design

Integrating KBEWorks enabled NITA to customize its designs, automate assembly generation, and avoid duplicates. A concrete example: conveyors, which, although similar, incorporate customized options depending on the selected modules. Thanks to KBE, these variations are automatically integrated using reusable design rules.

Next Step: Innovation

NITA aims to further automate the design process to ease the workload of its designers, shorten lead times, and focus its efforts on innovation. The company is also working on a rapid prototyping tool for salespeople to better tailor solutions from the initial customer contact.

"What sets us apart? A user-friendly graphical interface, accessible and human customer support, and a constant drive to push technology further to offer more robust, reliable, and user-friendly machines."

SOLIDWORKS, PDM, and DraftSight are available in both the U.S. and Canada
