Success Story
The company was willing to replace their old file-based SAP connection with a modern, extensible and direct integration. The new interface would need to support designers in transferring the master data; map several organizational levels; define leading systems for each field separately; allow the transfer of released drawings into SAP (including revision mapping) and reduce efforts to a minimum.
The customer wanted to replace the old file-based SAP connection with a modern, extensible and direct integration, and gain more functionality and productivity.
By switching from a file-based connection to direct integration, we helped EMPL revise and improve their processes. Automation also allowed the company to save time in various areas of their activity.

Enhancing Engineering Efficiency and Supply Chain with Autodesk Vault Integration at KUKA
The initial setup involved running three powerJobs on three different designer computers to generate PDF files as needed. The intention was to save a dedicated machine and CAD license. This required the respective designer to become the job-processing machine if necessary. This situation did not allow for timely execution and reliability. Discussing with the customer, it became clear that the Inventor Server would not require a license, and a dedicated machine would ensure convenient and reliable performance. The complete powerJobs solution would then improve overall job queue processes, and designers would be able to focus on their primary tasks.
HOERBIGER Enhances Engineering Efficiency with Autodesk Vault and coolOrange Solutions
In 1895, the steel plate valve invented by Hanns Hörbiger is patented. The valve plate opens when the gas pressure is high enough and closes as long as the spring pressure is higher than the gas pressure. The HOERBIGER steel plate valve brings about a tremendous improvement in performance. HOERBIGER's performance-critical products and services enable customers and partners from various industries to improve the performance and safety of their products and operations, save energy, and reduce emissions. Hoerbiger wanted to replace the current Vault-SAP integration within three months. The current integration was quite expensive in terms of both, software licenses and maintenance. It was also cumbersome to use and required the use of Vault items which was not requested by the customer. As the assemblies made by Hoerbiger are simple and given that Hoerbiger runs Vault in a fully replicated environment between Europe, USA and Asia, the use of item made the whole process more complicated than necessary.
