Success Story

Leading Manufacturer of Products to the Construction Industry

Leading Manufacturer of Products to the Construction Industry

Customer challenge

A large manufacturer faced the challenge of needing to automate internal design processes in order to increase their efficiency. In the growing and fast-paced industry, speed and accuracy of design plays a massive part in the success of a business, so they needed to ensure they were minimizing the time spent on projects whilst increasing profitability.

Project goals

The organization's key goal was to create an automated rule-based design configurator which Man and Machine assisted in designing, testing and implementing.

Solution

Man and Machine worked with the client to fully understand all aspects of the products and capture the design intent and rules behind all design decisions. By doing this we were able to provide the client with:

1) Software asset management

2) Software user optimization (including Autodesk Inventor)

3) Product scope of works

4) Project proof of concept

5) Configurator Design and Development

6) Configurator User and Admin Training

7) Ongoing software and configurator support

Business outcome

Once the solution was implemented, the business was able to respond to tenders, quotes and changes within a matter of minutes, a process that previously would have taken hours or sometimes days.

Conclusion

The Man and Machine-developed configurator has allowed the client to dramatically grow their market share in a competitive industry as their customers recognized the increase in both speed and accuracy of the service provided.

How M&M Construction business has benefitted from Autodesk Construction Cloud

A large UK-based M&M Construction Contractor's understanding of scanning equipment and the use of it has proven to cause some major issues internally and at later stages of their projects. With information missing and the models in turn taking longer to generate, delays have been noticeable and more frequent especially with specific projects the business takes on.


Large UK Architectural Practice

A large UK-based Architectural Practice, M&M Architects, was looking to make the transition from Microstation to Autodesk Revit. During this process, they also recognized they were wasting a lot of time on tasks that could be automated with the use of Autodesk Dynamo and Autodesk Revit. They partnered with Man and Machine as they needed to get all users trained and supported in Revit which was completely new software to them.
