Airtable, an information technology organization in the United States, uses Unity Engine from Unity to support engineering design for design engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for product design |
| Capability | Engineering design stays visible to adjacent teams through Unity Engine |
| Capability | Design engineers work from the same Unity Engine record for product design |
Story
Airtable grew product design faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, information technology teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Design engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Unity Engine put engineering design on Unity. Unity is a real-time 3D platform used for games, digital twins, and industrial visualization. Airtable keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so design engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier engineering design. Product design is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join design engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
