Expansion of the Company's Product Portfolio

In the past, Remerx was producing only basic shapes of bike hubs and the required time of manual NC-program creation for those basic shapes was too long. During new NC-program creation, the CNC production had to be stopped.

Technology Leap with Advanced Machine Simulation

PEVEKO struggled with long-term problems of long creation time of NC programs for CNC machines:Multi spindle turn-mill machinesMulti-turret turn-mill machines3ax-4ax milling machines with missing machine simulation and verification

Effective Training and Support

CNC TVAR faced long programming and machining times, especially for PUR tools and hydro turbines. A new, innovative solution was required to increase productivity.

Fusion 360 CNC Shopfloor Implementation

NISAFORM is producing molds and tools on multi-axis 5-axis milling machines. Most of the stuff has been programmed by an external CAM worker, so NISAFORM was not able to quickly update NC-programs anytime when needed. The company was also not able to produce complicated parts itself.

NLCS and Freelancing: How Do They Go Together?

Drawing standards are indispensable for governments, large companies and freelancers in the civil engineering sector. The NLCS (Dutch CAD standard for civil projects) is the most used and accepted standard. We interviewed three freelancers who explain the value of NLCS using Autodesk InfraCAD. Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Civil 3D or Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D are required to use Autodesk InfraCAD.

BIM to the Construction Site Along With BIM Quality Management

"Making our engineers aware of what they are doing was the main reason for me to implement BIM 360 Build at PENDIK Projects," says Spencer Hellegering, head of the Projects department at the Veenendaal-based installer. Originally founded in 2006, PENDIK is a service company. With around 8,000 to 10,000 service contracts, mainly through housing associations and property managers, PENDIK was particularly strong in responding to complaints and reports. Setting up a Projects Department within an originally service-oriented company was quite a challenge. Hellegering: "The working method of a service company is very different. As a service company, you need different knowledge of installation technology than you do for new construction and renovation projects. The staff have to start thinking differently. We used to go to a leak and fix it. But now we have to make sure it doesn't leak!" PENDIK now employs around 40 people, 20 of whom work in the Projects Department.

Communication on site via BIM 360

As one of the largest construction companies in Flanders, MBG stands out for its sense of innovation. In order to optimise their complex Design and Build projects, MBG is investing heavily in the digitisation of their building sites. With Autodesk BIM 360, they have a powerful tool that makes 'bimming' on the building site more accessible and easier. In 2018, the then project manager Nelis Van Loock was appointed BIM Coordinator to streamline everything and put the BIM 360 platform into practice on the site.

They explicitly and with a great sense of responsibility strive for sustainable and energy-neutral buildings. Kurt Corvers, operational director and partner at Boydens Engineering, explains how his engineering office converts concepts into sustainable designs and how Arkance Systems helps them do so. Their latest showpiece is the office space 'Gare Maritime' on the Brussels site of Tour & Taxis.

Streamlining Building Product Design through Digital Transformation

Reynaers Aluminium is a leading European specialist in the development and marketing of innovative and sustainable aluminium solutions. For over 50 years, Reynaers Aluminium has been designing cutting-edge glazing solutions for some of the most iconic buildings in the world. It was a very difficult task to manage their complex product portfolio. Each product range represents more than 800 pages of information. There was no clear view on the data from the start of product development through the final delivery. As a result, valuable data was scattered around in different IT-systems.

Fusion 360 Manage for Standardized Project Management and Streamlined Processes

Based on innovative technologies, Orfit develops and produces the most precise and reliable thermoplastic materials for medical devices that improve patient treatment around the world. The Orfit team provides: - Immobilization systems for cancer patients in Radiation Oncology - Orthotic fabrication materials for patients in Physical Rehabilitation - Prosthetic socket materials for amputee patients. However, there was no overview of the active projects including tasks and status. Processes and approvals were not defined nor logged. Information demanded by external audits were difficult to deliver, while these audits are extremely important in the medical business.

Virtual Prototyping and Car Design

SVOTT, established in 2007, is a design development and virtual prototyping company focused on the car-making industry. Started with clay modeling and legacy design methods for rapid prototyping, now they apply virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) methods in the design development process. So they were looking for software tools allowing them to provide a broader range of this type of services.

Warhorse Studios' Successful Computer Game - Kingdom Come: Deliverance

The Prague-based development studio was founded in 2011 by a handful of intrepid veterans of the Czech game industry. Their first title, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a gritty medieval RPG with combat elements set in a realistic historical setting, was released on February 13, 2018 to a rapturous reception from critics and gamers around the world. For the architecture of the buildings in the game, they get conceptual sketches and illustrations of the models and they needed to create their own in-game models, mainly with tile textures.

Virtual Design by eVektor

EVektor is an international company and belongs among the leading development and manufacturing companies which are active in the aircraft industry of the Czech Republic. Besides aviation, EVektor has extensive development activities in the area of automotive and mechanical engineering industry. Their studio of industrial design has longstanding experience with the design of aircraft and car interiors, as well as with a number of design concepts of new machines and equipment. They were looking for software tools allowing them to cover their design and prototyping workflow.

Visual Experiences for Discerning Viewers

PFX was founded a couple of years ago as a small studio specializing in visual effects and 3D animation. Since then it has grown and nearly eighty professionals from all disciplines related to the film and advertising industry now work for the studio. PFX can provide a truly comprehensive services, from visual effects to post-production for advertising, film, animation, motion graphics or the gaming and manufacturing industry. For these comprehensive services, they needed a comprehensive set of software tools.

Robotic Partnership

The Roux-Jourfier Group, a partnership of industrialists, from the preliminary project to commissioning, is a recognised French robot integrator. Every year, they push back the limits of robotics by commissioning complex cells for the nuclear, automotive and aeronautical sectors. As such, the movements required of the robots and the resulting trajectories are often unprecedented. To make projects shine, the RJ Group is able to capitalize on 49 years of know-how, particularly in the field of welding (oil, pressure vessels, nuclear, etc.) and machining (aeronautics, space, energy, etc.), validated by numerous certifications at the various RJ Group sites, such as ISO 9001, EN 9100, MASE, EN 1090, and more.

Utilization of InfraWorks in Project Visualization

Tampere is the second-largest urban area and third most-populous individual municipality in Finland, after the cities of Helsinki and Espoo and the most populous Finnish city outside the Greater Helsinki area, within which both Helsinki and Espoo are located. Today, Tampere is one of the major urban, economic, and cultural hubs in the whole inland region. "We have used Autodesk InfraWorks software to visualize urban service and land use planning, sketching and displaying plans at design meetings or residents' events. With the help of InfraWorks, the city's 3D models are also presented in development projects and various workshops," says Designer and Data Model Coordinator Rodrigo Coloma from the city of Tampere.

Terberg Wants to be a Full Partner in BIM

From the market demand, Terberg Total Installations (hereinafter called 'Terberg') is increasingly asked to participate in a BIM process. More is expected than just a 3D model from which drawings are distilled. The demand for optimization and integration of BIM within the processes of Terberg comes on the one hand from management and on the other hand from the project leaders who manage their own project team and are responsible for the generation of work. In this way, project leaders are active in an entrepreneurial way and they encounter the demand for a BIM approach more and more often. One can therefore speak of a very concrete reason for implementing BIM.

BOM Management

Orangeworks is specialized in designing and realizing equipment for the food processing industry: from production and storage solutions up to and including complete production lines. Each bill of materials is unique which results in a challenge during the purchasing and production process. In every design phase or release cycle, a new or updated parts list needs to be submitted to the ERP system. As a result, long lead items are pushed to the ERP system relatively late, only when engineers have finished their design. As a result, for example, the company ordered long lead items relatively late. They also really wanted their own production to get started at an earlier stage. Once the Engineering Bill of Material is released, their work planners have to schedule manufacturing operations and sequence for a production order. This took a lot of time and had to be better, faster and free of errors.

Sustainability starts at VK Architects & Engineering in the Early Design Phase

VK Architects & Engineers has been a leading design and engineering consultancy for over 65 years. They offer architectural, engineering and infrastructure design solutions in four markets: Healthcare, Buildings, Industry and Infrastructure. Recently, they were looking for a good solution to enable their flexible teams to work better together, with all data accessible to everyone. VK's design teams follow a fairly classical process: they use Autodesk Revit and each designer has his own team space. The exchange of design data could be much better and more structured, but they are designers and not process managers. Since all the modelling users were already working with Autodesk BIM 360, including Autodesk Revit Cloud Worksharing and Design Collaboration, they partnered with Arkance Systems to find a solution within this ecosystem.

Optimization of Manufacturing Processes through the Development of Business Applications

FEHR faced the following business workflow challenges: 1) Smart design 2) Waste minimization 3) Eco-responsibility 4) Respecting the business constraints

Improved Profitability through the Integration of BIM Methodology in Projects

Clestra Hauserman's needs were to reduce data transfer times between design and manufacturing, and to be able to exchange reliable data with their customers in the building industry, as well as internally across their multi-discipline teams.

Dramatic Improvement of Data Management and Automation of Design Processes

ADEKA offers innovative solutions that enhance the performance of polymers through their entire lifecycle. The customer challenge was to achieve energy efficiency, lower cost of manufacturing and a reduced environmental footprint. Thanks to the Arkance Systems expertise, we put in place a solution which provides more flexibility, time savings and improvement of data management.

GIS solution for a district heating provider

SZEPHO is one of the most reputable market participants among district heating providers in Hungary, achieved this with his innovative approach. It has been cooperating with us in technological development and IT digitalization since its inception. The first step was to develop a digital technical register for e-utility data provision 5-6 years ago. Since then, the Autodesk AutoCAD Map3D-based complex CityScape District Heating system - introduced at SZEPHO - has gained a high reputation in the sector, and this is one of the reasons why this year our company get the main district heating award in Hungary. Under the leadership of our colleague good professional an personal relationships have also been established, which is also one of the foundations of common success. We continue to believe that professionalism and humanity are one of the foundations of business success in this rapidly accelerating world of digitization, which is often becoming impersonal.

Forge-based Product Configurator

Today’s increasing demand for product customization represents a substantial shift from mass manufacturing to manufacturing for a market of one. Manufacturing companies face imminent pressure to provide vast arrays of singularly specific products, components, and machines. Customers expect to easily customize their orders with full confidence that the goods they are choosing fit their needs. Plus, they want their products to be cost-effective, simple to order, and quick to deliver. Typical 2D, paper-based ordering processes often fall short in the ability to provide rapid, flexible configuration. Time is wasted on inefficient communications, errors result in costly component remodeling, order processes are delayed, and product prices are incorrectly estimated. Manufacturers are increasingly turning to 3D models in attempts to refine and expedite the custom ordering process, but the creation of basic 3D models is time consuming.

CAM Implementation

MASAM - specialized in machining of complex parts and precise metal products manufacturing - needed to increase productivity of his existing CAM solution. As this company competes in a demanding industry (aerospace, automotive, space), they wanted to manufacture more precise products, faster and with less collisions.

Integration of CAD/PDM with ERP

B&P Engineering wanted to have a solution that would replace an existing custom made application which enables Autodesk Inventor for automatic Bill Of Materials (BOMs) generation. Because of a change of ERP system, the old application became very slow and unstable. XLS exchange format also created many problems during import to the ERP system. It slowed down data preparation and transfer to production. Often, because of automatic solution failure, the process had to be done manually. As a result, B&P Engineering faced production process delays and was facing a risk of revenue decreases.

CAD/PDM Solution Helping Designers to Share Data

Fermat is a leading producer of horizontal boring and milling machines with worldwide operations. This customer needed to manage his 2D and 3D CAD data to handle concurrent product development in two locations, and connect product data to his ERP system. His data was previously shared just on a common network disk, product data was retyped between CAD and ERP. This leads to many errors and mistyping. Designers were rewriting data in wrong versions.

BIM Data Standardization in Lifecycle of the Fit-out Design and Construction

Tetris is a leading specialist in the offices fit-out business, both commercial and hotel spaces. The company participates in many international projects concerning the space planning of new offices as well as renovated buildings in the Design & Build formula. A very wide range of responsibilities, complex and international projects (Europe, Middle East, Africa) and more and more aware and demanding customers are the challenges that Tetris is facing. The answer for this is the digitization of all processes in the company: Improvement of cooperation, standardization, unification of tools, and design systems aimed at constant improvement of the quality of services provided by Tetris.

Utilization of Autodesk InfraWorks in Project Visualization

The City of Tampere produces a variety of 3D data, and the aim is to produce it in a way that facilitates the integration and presentation of the current situation and the world of future plans. The city seeks to share, for example, the city model and other material through open data. Plan consultants and current status data can also be utilized by external consultants and projects.

Harmonisation and Digital Transition

The family business group Lybover, with offices in Waregem and Bruges, has been expanding its activities over the years. Today it consists of six different Business Units (RECYCLING, METAL, AIR, FIRE, BULK & INSTALLATION). To coordinate these different units, they set up the Lybover Group. Since all the branches had to work together and each had its own way of working and software, communication between them often caused problems. Therefore, Arkance Systems was hired to support the Lybover Group in their digital transition.

BOM Management

OrangeWorks designs and manufactures equipment for the food processing industry: from production and storage solutions up to complete production lines. Each bill of materials (BOM) is unique which results in a challenge during the purchasing and production process. In every design phase or release cycle, a new or updated parts list needs to be submitted to ERP. As a result, long lead items are pushed to the ERP system relatively late, only when engineers have finished their design. Also, the company wanted their own production to get started at an earlier stage. Once the Engineering BOM is released, the work planners have to schedule manufacturing operations and sequence for a production order. This took a lot of time and delays and had to be done better and faster.

NLCS and Freelancing: How Does That Go Together?

Drawing standards are indispensable for governments, large companies and freelancers in the civil engineering sector. The NLCS (Dutch CAD standard for civil projects) is the most used and accepted standard. We interviewed three freelancers who explain the value of NLCS using InfraCAD. AutoCAD, Civil 3D or AutoCAD Map 3D are required to use InfraCAD.
