In addition to that, were to manage various assignments and manually tracking allotted bids vs bids consumed. Lastly, were able to manage the assets.

Project goals

  • They were able to stick to the project timeline with real-time status update with all the stakeholders.   
  •  Ultimately, they were able to deliver the project within the stipulated deadline with ZERO hitches.

Business outcome

Autodesk ShotGrid has helped them generate data points that would have been near to impossible to track manually. Not to mentioned that using these data points, they have now established a central metric system that they now implement for all their reports. Finally, Autodesk ShotGrid has also helped them save costs on transport, storage, and maintenance of physical data while also providing near-unbreakable security for the client’s data, hence ensuring they also move to TPN (Trusted Network Partner) status.

Conclusion

Truck Measurement System and Sampling Collection System

With Prefect Hydraulics Pvt Ltd, the Application had challenges in Assembly and Integration. Aggregates from various Parties were used to make this Hydraulic System. The necessity was to have a mock assembly before we take up the actual assembly. Autodesk products helped us to visit and make a 3D drawing which helped us to visualize the Product Assembly and avoid last-minute surprises which could have cost dearly in the Project. We were able to carry out assembly and testing activities much faster and deliver the system on time.

MINERAL PROCESSING EQUIPMENT

The products for which the Autodesk Inventor CAD tool was used were magnetic separators, heavy media drums, centrifuges, and sampler machines. For product development and design, Inventor comes in very handy to determine interferences and eliminate them using the tested and successful model for different sizes without much difficulty. The main advantages are in converting the concept into a design, reviewing the model, making necessary changes, and developing prototypes for testing. The biggest advantage is quality of work and time savings.


KAAPPAAN [Tamil] [Feature Film]

KAAPPAAN is an action thriller film from 2019 in the Indian Tamil language. It was written and directed by K. V. Anand, co-written by Pattukkottai Prabakar, and produced by Lyca Productions. The Film was released in theatres on 20 September 2019 and emerged as a commercial success by grossing ₹100 crores at the box office. However, in the making, the film had presented Firefly Creative Studio with a challenge to capture and enliven the attack of a genetically altered locust swarm on village crops at a time when the farmers were preparing to reap the sow. Being centric to the action, it became vital for Firefly Creative Studio to capture the details of the insects in terms of looks, proportions and mechanics.
