Success Story

OFFICINE GAUDINO SpA | EXCELLENT TEXTILE MACHINERY

OFFICINE GAUDINO SpA | EXCELLENT TEXTILE MACHINERY

Customer challenge

Officine Gaudino Spa was founded in the mid-1920s in Cossato, thanks to Pietro Gaudino. Immediately, the company was involved in the construction of small textile machines, then moving on to the construction of larger machinery such as fullers, wolf cards, washes, twisters etc. Around the mid-1950s Dante Gaudino, the owner's son, began specializing in the production of spinning machines, abandoning the other machines. The first spinning machines were for regenerated cotton (very widespread at the time), then followed those for wool and other fine fibers to finish with those for aramidic celluloid chemical fibers, etc. always in the wool sector. Today the Officine Gaudino are led by Piero, Roberto and Paola Gaudino, sons of Dante. The Officine Gaudino brands are present all over the world with a widespread sales network, which guarantees an adequate service to customers in sales, assistance and spare parts.

Project goals

Digitization and the transition to 3D modeling represented an important turning point in the growth of Officine Gaudino Spa, whose challenge has always been to be able to provide its customers with innovative machinery, characterized by a high level of customization. Thanks to the Autodesk solutions adopted, Officine Gaudino Spa is able to easily manage the large amount of project data deriving from the growing customization and complexity of the textile machinery produced, thus managing to concentrate energy on new production lines and on the renewal of previous models. One of the latest textile machines produced, for example, is the MHE (Multi Head Elastic), a machine for the preparation of 15,000 components for spinning, whose central body weighs 5 tons, for the processing of wool and precious fibers such as cashmere and cashmere silk.

Solution

The following Autodesk solutions have been implemented: 1. Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection for textile machinery design 2. Autodesk Vault Professional for the management of the large amount of project data produced and for communication with all company departments, from design, to warehouse, to production up to the assembly department. 3. Autodesk Fusion 360 with Autodesk FeatureCAM for the production of textile machinery under the Officine Gaudino Spa brand.

Business outcome

The high level of innovation achieved by Officine Gaudino Spa certainly passes through the Autodesk solutions adopted for the design and production of their textile machinery. The use of Autodesk Vault Professional, in addition to allowing the organization and management of the large amount of data produced, also allows you to easily identify which machine has been sold to the end customer, thus being able to find all the information to it very quickly. related and providing the customer with a fast and quality service. Autodesk Fusion 360 with Autodesk FeatureCAM becomes fundamental for the management of large 3 and 5 axis machines in the workshop, drastically reducing the risk of errors in the production phase and minimizing manipulation.

Conclusion

Quality, speed and innovation have led Officine Gaudino to be present all over the world with a widespread sales network, always guaranteeing the end customer a high level of sales, assistance and spare parts management service. The continuous collaboration between Officine Gaudino, NKE and Autodesk, finally, allows the customer to continue to successfully achieve its objectives and to increase its range of textile machinery obtaining an important competitive advantage.

Von der grünen Wiese zum Industriegebiet: Geländemodellierung mit Autodesk Civil 3D

Das Architektur- und Ingenieurbüro HOFFMANN.SEIFERT.PARTNER (HSP) plant im Auftrag der Stadt Schmalkalden die Erschließung eines über 35 Hektar großen Areals, auf dem ein neues Industrie- und Gewerbegebiet entstehen soll. Eine besondere Herausforderung liegt in der anspruchsvollen Topografie, die große Erdbewegung erfordert: Die Planer rechnen mit einem Volumen von rund 350.000 m³ Auf- und Abtrag beim Anlegen der Terrassenstruktur. Da zudem eine Anbindung an das bestehende Verkehrsnetz geplant ist, entschied sich HSP mit Autodesk Civil 3D für eine Lösung, die Verkehrs- wie auch Geländemodellierung abbildet.
