Challenges

  1. To provide support for design requirement on high priority projects.
  2. To automate the process of creating Slimline conveyor assemblies to cut down design & drafting time. The automation included different sizes, different types, different motor types, different types of guiding system.
  • To support this automation, models of various sizes and different types of conveyors needed to be created.
  • To reduce the time frame in creating this models various programming and parametric modelling aids needed to be used.
  • All various models and types needed to be created, checked, verified and later made a item of vault server for further use.

Solutions

Solutions provided to address all their issues:

  • Parametric models were created to fulfil the model requirements.  
  • Drawings standards were created and model practises were stream lined.
  • Matrices containing all critical versions of the conveyor sections were created for cross reference.
  • I-Logic programming was used wherever needed to reduce time in creating iterations.
  • Online tracking system https://app.smartsheet.com/b/home was utilized for live communication and updates.
  • Remote vault setup was established to add various components and drawings as and when completed.

Key Features  & Benefites

  • Dynamic tracking of the tasks provided.
  • Automated PDF & DXF creation
  • Easy two way communication setup.
  • Reduced queries and communication
    hours.
  • Lesser errors.
  • All parts, assembly, drawings & related
    PDF DXF is added to vault after task
    completion
