Problem
- Submission of similar parts to be handled separately by the cutting laser supplier.
- The provider charges for changing parameters of its machines.
- The person making submissions can not check quickly and efficiently the parts one by one to validate the presence of duplicates.
- Need an integrated tool to an existing software.
- Be 100% sure that two pieces are alike before combining them.
Suggested solutions
- Analysis of data from industrial drawings.
- Consolidating drawings of identical geometric shapes.
- Redesigning the submission according to the results of the analysis.
- Writing to the database with new data.
- Edit the drawings cartridge to reflect the consolidation.
- Developping an algorithm to compare the geometry contained in the drawing.
Results
- Benefit from reduced costs through manufacturing batch of the same parts.
- Reduction in bid preparation time since the person in charge does not need to analyze each design to ensure it is not already present in the bid.
- Automation of certain tasks ensuring consistency of operations.
- Easy adaptation of the use since the tool is integrated directly into the work environment.
- Consistent results from one use to another.
