Success Story

When technologies enhanced both Technical & Production Departments.

When technologies enhanced both Technical & Production Departments.

Customer challenge

Comerio Ercole’s activity started in 1885 on artisanal basis and then developed mainly in the manufacturing of machines and plants for of rubber and plastic processing, machines and plants for the nonwoven industry and special application.

The Tech Dept. grew up and now is about 50 people working on.

Comerio Ercole wanted to act in two different but nonetheless contiguous directions, that are Tech Department and Production Department.


TECH DEPT.

The company needed to optimizing Tech Dept. workflow through Data management software/PDM solution, also because due to pandemic, employees started to work at home. They wanted to secure engineering data (they already use Autodesk Inventor for their engineering projects) and gain accessibility from remote working places.


PRODUCTION DEPT.

Comerio Ercole had an old version CAM software in Production Dept. running on old systems machine that needed to be updated. Costs needed for this update from the old CAM System were very high. Moreover, there wasn't a complete control over the project changes, and all the modifications made in Production Dept. were not reported to Tech. Dept. according to old software workflow.

Project goals

Main goals of the project:

  • Optimize costs and time and reuse of engineering data for different projects
  • Standardization of software and application to all Company workspaces
  • Gain a full and real time interoperability between employees working inside the company and other in smartworking
  • Updating CAM systems with cost containment and integration with Autodesk solution used in Tech. Dept.
  • Control of changes and updates of projects in Production Dept.

Solution

As for every Data Management Project Implementation, we started with an analysis of existing workflows and processes in Tech Dept, highlighting pro and con, some points that need to be enhanced and good ones. Systema proposed Autodesk Vault Professional as data management software and some Systema Vault APP Plug-in to amplify Autodesk Vault functionalities and features. Systema defined all the implementation steps and started with the delivery phase accordingly to customer timing and needs, paying attention to all historical data porting and management.


For CAM solutions, Systema suggested Autodesk Fusion 360 Machining Extension, after a trial period and verifying that post-processor was good for customer machine.

Business outcome

Comerio Ercole is very satisfied about the solutions in terms of security of data, cost & time reduction and enhancement of efficiency. Thanks to the project data workflow, it has been possible to improve sharing information with customers and other stakeholders in total security and in real time, and also with all the employees. Comerio is also very satisfied about Autodesk CAM solution, as for lower costs, as for interoperability with Autodesk Inventor through Autodesk Fusion 360, using cloud to upload changed projects and sharing them with Tech. Department.

Conclusion

The long-term partnership between Comerio Ercole Spa and Systema has led to a relationship based on trust and collaboration. Thanks to the professional advice of the Systema staff, it's always possible to identify the best solutions for the customer needs, starting a process of continuous improvement built on the adoption of new digital solutions.

VR and Dynamic Rendering for Project Presentation

BLUE Engineering provides specific design services to fields of excellence, such as automotive, railway, aerospace. Systema answers company major need to involve customer in emotional experience for evaluating different options and shapes of the final product. Blue Engineering realized that dynamic rendering was a powerful tool to describe all details of the design before any prototype, and needed support for the implementation of these technologies.

ETS Srl – a BIM approach of a pioneristic Engineering Company

ETS S.r.l. is a Civil Engineering Company focused on rail and road transport. Their main commitment is in infrastructure engineering and maintain infrastructures, convinced that the protection of the infrastructural heritage is the key to sustainable development. ETS is one of the first pioneristic engineering company who thought that BIM was a way to improve their multidisciplinary workflow and outline an integrated process functional to the management and monitoring of the entire life cycle of the projects.Then the mandatory BIM legislation imposed the acceleration of the process already underway, emphasizing the need for investment in new resources, training and technology.
