Success Story

Zip Tech Project with HungaroCAD

Zip Tech Project with HungaroCAD

Customer challenge

In the recent years, it is clear that customer needs have changed. There is an increasing need to customize products. The size and shape of the space available can also be a challenge. Another difficulty is to make changes to the model during the design process, which may be due to new information, a changed need, or simply a design decision. Tracking and adapting these changes is a challenge to designers on a daily basis.

Project goals

Zip Tech’s mission is to manufacture equipment that fully meet their customers’ production and business needs. The company has the ambition to ensure uncompromising quality, not only in the manufacturing processes but also in the services.

Solution

Due to the complexity of the tanks and their associated pipelines, the goal was to make maximum use of the parametric modeling of Autodesk Inventor. The tanks are detailed based on an easily modifiable skeleton model that contains all the important design information, allowing the engineer to keep the whole product in mind, not just the current part. The Autodesk Vault product data management (PDM) system allows the team to track the status of the project and easily find the relevant items.

Business outcome

Using Inventor and Vault, Zip Tech has successfully reduced the need for design changes due to design errors to almost zero. This allows the company to install their equipment faster and more accurately and eliminates the need for ad-hoc solutions. Thus, the cost of construction can also be reduced. A much more accurate quote can be made for a new project using data from existing, similar projects, which can also be used as a visual design.

Conclusion

Using the state-of-the-art top-down modeling approach and the automatically generated file name system provides unique, easily identifiable markup for files and makes it easier to reuse existing items. With the support of HungaroCAD, Zip Tech has successfully reduced the need for design changes due to design errors to almost zero and has been able to install their equipment faster and more accurately.

Process Automation at Colas Hungary

An essential part of quality assurance for road construction is continuous sampling of the different layers (soils and road structure). The quality assurance engineers lay out the locations of the sampling points along the road. Then the site engineers coordinate the sampling based on layout plans. The results and samples are sent back to the lab for evaluation. Once the detailed analysis is done, the data is sent back to the site. This is a time consuming manual process with room for errors.
