Partnering for Construction & Manufacturing Digital Solutions

Success Story

Effective Training and Support

Effective Training and Support

Customer challenge

CNC TVAR faced long programming and machining times, especially for PUR tools and hydro turbines.  A new, innovative solution was required to increase productivity.

Project goals

The following primary project goals were identified:

  • Increase productivity when using Autodesk PowerMill for machining large parts (PUR molds, pelton and francis runners, impellers)
  • Shorten programming times
  • Automate 2D machining and drilling
  • Increase efficiency with 5-axis drilling on machine tools


Solution

Autodesk Solution Provider Arkance Systems delivered extensive training and analysis:

  • Advanced functions integrated with Autodesk PowerMill for all CAM programmers, including macros creation for automation of common tasks
  • PowerMill and Fusion 360 modelling for manufacturing (part analysis, holes capping, fixtures creation)
  • Post-processor tuning for new PowerMill functions (orientation vectors) and added 5-axis drilling with join up moves
  • Analysis of the customer workflow and identifying opportunities for improvement


Business outcome

The Arkance Systems team was able to shorten CAM programming and machining times that increased overall productivity for CNC TVAR.


Conclusion

Thanks to a personal approach, we analyzed the customer's production processes and were able to implement effective processes to speed up production. We have also consolidated our position as a CAM supplier and strengthened confidence in providing knowledge to solve complex manufacturing problems.

BIM to the Construction Site Along With BIM Quality Management

"Making our engineers aware of what they are doing was the main reason for me to implement BIM 360 Build at PENDIK Projects," says Spencer Hellegering, head of the Projects department at the Veenendaal-based installer. Originally founded in 2006, PENDIK is a service company. With around 8,000 to 10,000 service contracts, mainly through housing associations and property managers, PENDIK was particularly strong in responding to complaints and reports. Setting up a Projects Department within an originally service-oriented company was quite a challenge. Hellegering: "The working method of a service company is very different. As a service company, you need different knowledge of installation technology than you do for new construction and renovation projects. The staff have to start thinking differently. We used to go to a leak and fix it. But now we have to make sure it doesn't leak!" PENDIK now employs around 40 people, 20 of whom work in the Projects Department.


Gare Maritime as a Showpiece of Study Techniques with Focus on Sustainability

Boydens Engineering is a construction engineering and design office active in the conceptualisation, design and control of technical building installations. They explicitly and with a great sense of responsibility strive for sustainable and energy-neutral buildings. Kurt Corvers, operational director and partner at Boydens Engineering, explains how his engineering office converts concepts into sustainable designs and how Arkance Systems helps them do so. Their latest showpiece is the office space 'Gare Maritime' on the Brussels site of Tour & Taxis.


Communication on site via BIM 360

As one of the largest construction companies in Flanders, MBG stands out for its sense of innovation. In order to optimise their complex Design and Build projects, MBG is investing heavily in the digitisation of their building sites. With Autodesk BIM 360, they have a powerful tool that makes 'bimming' on the building site more accessible and easier. In 2018, the then project manager Nelis Van Loock was appointed BIM Coordinator to streamline everything and put the BIM 360 platform into practice on the site.
