During these unprecedented times of lockdowns due to the Covid-19 pandemic, companies around the world are taking steps to ensure safe working environments for their employees and clients. Often, this means working from home for as much of the staff as possible.

When it comes to hydraulic engineers taking their work home there are some specific challenges that present themselves — but these challenges can be minimized with the right tools.

Challenges of working from home for hydraulic engineers

  • Software only available on their work machines due to license restrictions

  • Software requires high power machines that can’t be matched by lighter home computers or laptops

  • Not having access to reference materials, such as company- and client-specific parts and components data

  • Difficult to collaborate with other team members who are also working from home and may be facing similar workspace obstacles

  • Not being able to complete tasks that require on-site presence

HydroSym helps hydraulic engineers work from home

At Paro Software, we have always had a core mission and belief of making the lives of hydraulic engineers easier. This is why our software is built on features that allow for quicker, error-free designs. The Covid-19 pandemic, however, required us to take on a broader task of digitizing hydraulic design.

Light but powerful

HydroSym is a completely stand-alone software package. It has been developed from scratch by hydraulic engineers for hydraulic engineers like yourself. It does not require any CAD-like software or any other additional programs to work, and it will work perfectly on a less powerful machine, such as your home desktop or laptop.

Smart tools to save time

Smart Tools in HydroSym software help to save time and eliminate human errors to result in a flawless hydraulic system design.

Some of the features are:

  • smart connecting lines with information flows

  • automatic jumpers

  • easy positioning of items between connecting lines

  • straightforward changing of solenoid properties. 

40.000+ hydraulic components at your fingertips

The Paro Component Library contains more than 40.000 ISO standard hydraulic symbols and components, directly accessible from the HydroSym workspace. The library enables hydraulic engineers to click and add components right into their projects. You can also create custom components to be used internally, ensuring that there is one central repository of updated information. To see this in action, check out our case study of working globally with HydroSym.
