ICT

Customer challenge

As projects became more complex and deadlines tightened, ICT started assigning design teams to projects and found that their individual preferences slowed progress. “ICT is committed to delivering projects on time and on budget,” said Mitch Nicholson, design manager, ICT. “We recognized that processes that had worked well in the past needed updating and standardization, so we started looking for a solution.”

Project goals

ICT needed a central repository for drawings and standard parts as well as standardizing on an updated 3D platform. They also wanted to allow for programming and process automation in the design workflow, which was harder to do using AutoCAD.

Solution

"We determined that Autodesk Vault provided the central repository we needed for storing standard parts that the team members could access, and we decided to move from AutoCAD to Autodesk Inventor for 3D programming and process automation,” said Mitch. “IMAGINiT recommended that we subscribe to the Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection, which contains the two products we wanted plus many other tools. We confidently moved ahead with the Collection.”

Business outcome

ICT now benefits from: • An extensive library of standard cooling parts stored in Vault that enables multiple designers to work on the same project without the risk of using the wrong part and causing costly and time-consuming mistakes • Reduced design cycle times, more exploration of design options, and streamlined manufacturing processes by using Inventor software for 3D mechanical design • The elimination of many tedious tasks through automation by using the Inventor iLogic functionality

Conclusion

“Working with the IMAGINiT team to transition our systems to Inventor and Vault was definitely the right decision,” said Mitch. “All our designers and engineers are fully onboard with the changes, and they are enjoying the powerful features that allow them to work together and collaborate on solutions to our customers’ complex cooling challenges.”

C2AE Trusts IMAGINiT with BIM Management Services

For several years, the Building division within C2AE successfully followed a BIM-management-by-committee approach to making decisions on procedures, standards, and best practices. The company’s designers and engineers would meet in person or online, discuss the options, and determine next steps. As the company’s team grew in size and experience level, coming to a consensus became more difficult. C2AE recognized the need to select one person to be the point person responsible for gathering and evaluating all the opinions and deciding which to select and implement.


Swinterton Delivers Value and Achieves ROI with Leica RTC360 Scanner

When renovating buildings, Swinerton starts with as-built measurements provided by clients. Because those drawings rarely include updates, Swinerton relied on their architects to manually measure spaces, put those measurements into Autodesk Revit, and provide PDFs of the information to the designers, who used them as the starting point for renovations. Swinerton started getting laser scans of structures at the beginning of renovation projects using external companies to perform the scanning. “The laser scanners led to great improvements,” said Matt Zwetzig, VD&C Manager, Swinerton. “Measurements were gathered in a fraction of the time, teams knew they were working with accurate information, plans were created faster, correct parts were ordered the first time, and the parts fit as expected.” With business growing and timelines shortening, Matt determined it was time to compare costs for hiring external providers versus purchasing a scanner and completing the work in house.


Massilly North America Automates Processes with Fusion 360 Manage

In 2015, Massilly North America reached out to Autodesk for support on their product lifecycle management (PLM) software, Fusion 360 Manage (previously known as Autodesk PLM 360), which is critical to the company’s day-to-day operations. Autodesk connected Massilly North America with IMAGINiT, and the IMAGINiT PLM team answered questions on specific issues, consulted on workflow improvements, and shared best practices.
