Creating 3D Video Sequences Explaining Smart Factory Concept Applied To Drying and Dosing Line

Creating 3D Video Sequences Explaining Smart Factory Concept Applied To Drying and Dosing Line

Customer challenge

VISMEC s.r.l. is located in Padova, Italy. The company designs and builds advanced industrial machines and plants for the transformation of plastic materials to the highest standards of quality and efficiency, to guarantee companies the best results. 


The challenges the company faced involved visually communicating information about a product still in the conception / production phase. The company needed this process as a fundamental component for the subsequent product development and commercialization process. Recognizing the significance of clear and concise visual representations, the company worked tirelessly to bridge the gap between their conceptualized ideas and the real-world applications of their products. 3D modeling, interactive simulations, and virtual reality became integral components of their design and development toolkit. 


VISMEC s.r.l. believed in the power of visually engaging presentations to convey complex ideas to potential clients and stakeholders. Their interactive product demonstrations and immersive virtual tours allowed interested parties to step into the world of VISMEC s.r.l., where innovation and precision were paramount.

Project goals

VISMEC s.r.l. (www.vismec.com) had a project goal to put together 3D video sequences with computer graphics explaining the concept of a "Smart Factory" (Industry 4.0) and how these smart features were applied to their drying, conveying and dosing line. The company had to solve organizational, logistical, and expense challenges, while showcasing their products at events worldwide. VISMEC s.r.l. established dedicated cross-functional teams composed of engineers, graphic designers, and project managers. These teams worked collaboratively, bringing their respective expertise to the table, ensuring that every aspect of the project would be addressed comprehensively.

Solution

The company chose to implement Autodesk Inventor combined with the Autodesk 3ds Max to create renderings and dynamic configurations from native files. The software combination also serves to provide product training and virtual reality implementation support. By combining Autodesk Inventor with Autodesk 3ds Max, VISMEC s.r.l. achieved a symbiotic relationship between precision and aesthetics. They could seamlessly transition from engineering-focused design in Autodesk Inventor to stunning, photorealistic renderings in Autodesk 3ds Max. These renderings not only showcased the visual appeal of their machines but also demonstrated their functionality in a way that was easily digestible for both clients and the general public.

Business outcome

After implementation, the company now has the ability to showcase a 3D video sequence in computer graphics explaining its industrial machines and plants for the transformation of plastic materials. Their innovative approach to showcasing their products resulted in increased sales and market penetration. They had transformed the way they showcased their products, engaged with clients, and delivered support services. In doing so, they had positioned themselves as pioneers in their industry, setting a standard that others would aspire to follow.

Conclusion

Utilizing Autodesk 3ds Max, VISMEC can now show the fundamental representation functions of rendering and 3D video animation, focusing on the hidden elements and process that cannot be illustrated through conventional filming techniques. VISMEC can provide their stakeholders with an in-depth understanding of their products. Clients can witness the inner workings of these machines, gaining insight into their efficiency, precision, and potential.

Adoption of Automation to Reduce Time Spent on Design Tasks and Reduce Errors

Visobath is dedicated to the manufacture and marketing of bathroom furniture, and thanks to effort and innovation, has become a benchmark in the furniture industry. Since its inception in Visobath, they have worked to offer the best solutions for the bathroom of their customers with innovative and quality products and good service and customer support. In the Visohome Group, a business group to which Visobath belongs, Covid-19 has significantly impacted working. They decided to review all jobs, establish protocols to guarantee the safety of their workers and, fundamentally, promote the use of telematics tools. The biggest challenge they have faced at the organizational level has been the adaptation to remote teamwork, so they have implemented tools so that the computer can stay connected.


Enhanced Data Security for the Manufacturer Sollich KG

With 450 employees, Sollich KG is a family-owned company based in Bad Salzuflen who designs and manufactures machines for temperature control, covering, decorating, and cooling chocolate. It sounds a bit like paradise; Sollich KG from Bad Salzuflen deals almost exclusively with the production of chocolates. However, the mechanical engineering company does not focus on the enjoyment of these fine products, rather on the design of the production systems. The family business has over 100 years of history, and Sollich KG machines can now be found in chocolate factories worldwide. The machines and production lines are designed in 3D with Autodesk Inventor to ensure this world-renowned quality. The 35 designers currently use Productstream Professional (PSP) as drawing management software. However, with no updates for PSP since 2017 and thus no possibility to use newer software versions of programmes such as Inventor, those responsible decided to switch to Autodesk Vault a few years ago.
