In line with their expansive vision and the need for robust infrastructure solutions, CH. Karnchang sought CAD software that could match their rigorous standards for quality and efficiency. This search led them to ZWCAD, a decision grounded in strategic benefits crucial for their large-scale projects.
Key Decisions Behind Choosing ZWCAD
There are several pivotal reasons why CH. Karnchang selected ZWCAD as their CAD solution. Each factor plays a crucial role in their complex project execution and underscores their commitment to operational excellence and innovation.
Financial Affordability and flexible licensing policy are at the core of CH. Karnchang's choice for ZWCAD. “The price is reasonable, which is an important factor we are concerned about since we have many projects and a great number of licenses are needed,” explains Adthapol Nillaor, Project Relation Manager of CH. Karnchang. This cost-effectiveness of ZWCAD allows the company to extensively deploy ZWCAD without compromising their budgetary constraints, supporting their extensive infrastructure projects strategically.
Seamless compatibility and a user-friendly design make ZWCAD a perfect fit for CH. Karnchang. Adthapol elaborates on the integration of ZWCAD with their existing systems, "It has high compatibility so that it perfectly replaces our former CAD solution. Moreover, it co-works well with our other software, allowing us to continue with downstream processes smoothly." He adds, "The familiar interface and commands of ZWCAD mean that our designers do not need to relearn the newly adopted CAD. They find ZWCAD simple and easy to use."
Anusorn Semathong, Chief System Administrator of CH. Karnchang, has experienced significant efficiency gains with ZWCAD. He shares, “My daily work involves opening and editing a large number of drawings in ZWCAD, as well as developing add-ons using ZWCAD’s APIs. ZWCAD’s ability to effortlessly handle large drawings is truly impressive.”

Innovative features such as Smart Voice enhance team collaboration significantly. "I like using Smart Voice," says Adthapol， "I can leave vocal annotations or notes in the drawings by the Smart Voice command, which is beneficial for better teamwork and design collaboration." This feature streamlines communication within project teams, reducing misunderstandings and improving the accuracy of collaborative design efforts.
Last but not least, responsive technical support and mobile accessibility further solidify CH. Karnchang’s decision to choose ZWCAD as a long-term CAD solution. Anusorn appreciates the support, saying, "Every time when we have technical issues, we contact your local distributor Xian Jin, and they respond quickly. They help communicate with the support team at ZWSOFT headquarters to solve our problems." Additionally, Anusorn highlights the utility of CAD Mobile, "It’s very beneficial for multi-platform teamwork. I can open, edit, and annotate drawings on .dwg files anywhere and anytime, which significantly enhances our flexibility."
Driving Commitment to Public Interest with ZWCAD
With public interest at the core of their corporate vision, CH. Karnchang selects and implements beneficial projects by anticipating future needs. “Everything we do for our business must always be in the best interest of the country and society,” they state, underscoring their commitment to sustainable development.
To reinforce this commitment, CH. Karnchang has strategically embraced ZWCAD to advance its vast array of public infrastructure projects for years, enhancing societal well-being through sustainable infrastructure development.
ZWCAD has been extensively utilized, notably in three major MRT projects that have significantly impacted Thai society. Adthapol highlights the transformative impact of these projects: “Trains appear in Thailand for no more than 20 years, and traffic jams are always a big pain point in Bangkok. Now with the MRT, people can travel in an easier, faster, and more convenient way.”
ZWCAD is used to design the Station Box of the MRT Orange Line
Building on this foundation, he mentioned the specific applications of ZWCAD in these projects, “We began to use ZWCAD in an extension project of the BTS Blue Line, which began in 2011. It is 2.6 kilometers long and has 2 stations. And then we used it on the BTS Orange and Purple Line.”
Advancing Social Benefits Through A Sustainable Partnership
CH. Karnchang’s partnership with ZWCAD has enhanced their capability to efficiently manage and execute large-scale infrastructure projects. Anusorn reflects on this evolving partnership: "Observing ZWSOFT's consistent advancements gives us confidence in our choice. ZWCAD's features are competitive, and we are eager to see what future updates will bring to further support our projects."
