A Tailored Approach Enhancing Best Practice Standards and Skills Across a Large Workforce

A Tailored Approach Enhancing Best Practice Standards and Skills Across a Large Workforce

Customer challenge

Document control, revision control and change of management is the biggest challenge we have these days. The importance of having documentation that is the correct revision is critical to the business. If someone is working to the wrong or incorrect revision, it can be potentially catastrophic to the business. Hosokawa Micron wanted a solution that would overcome this problem.

Project goals

Hosokawa Micron Ltd. is a world leader in providing process solutions in the fields of powder and particle processing and blown film technologies. Facing the challenges of document control and change management, the team needed to create an optimum design and manufacturing process.

Solution

With assistance from Autodesk Solution Provider Symetri, Hosokawa Micron now uses Autodesk Inventor, Product Design Suite, and Vault Workgroup for their document management and document control workflows and sends all approved documentation to Autodesk Fusion Lifecycle (product lifecycle management software solution).

Business outcome

The benefits of the Autodesk Vault connection and Fusion 360 Manage is that Hosokawa Micron can now use the Vault Workgroup to have all work in progress and documentation in that area stored and managed. Documents are then approved and released to the Fusion Manage site, which means the team has both work in progress documentation and an area where release documentation is archived.

Conclusion

The Autodesk Vault product data management solution and Fusion 360 Manage (PLM) integration remove a lot of blind spots in the business. Where an engineer would keep hold of a document potentially longer than they should have, now because it's generated as a PDF and pushed up to Fusion Manage it can be viewed in the cloud from anywhere in the world. Where Hosokawa Micron had almost silos of activity going forward, they now actually have a much more integrated and collaborative operation.
