Success Story
Logstrup were early adopters of Autodesk Inventor but they also used an engineering document management solution that didn’t integrate with Autodesk as well as it could have. It meant the system couldn’t run the latest updates and the outdated software was holding them back and slowing them down.
"Logstrup needed a more integrated solution and we’ve been talking to them for years about the benefits of Autodesk Vault,” says Ray O’Mahony, Procad’s Technical Manager. After some initial discovery meetings and testing, Logstrup made the decision to migrate to Autodesk Vault and the project kicked off in September 2018.
“We wanted to use one vendor as opposed to working with multiple vendors and we’ve always been happy with the service and support from Procad,” says Rory. “The big leap for us was the decision to migrate from our old document management system to Autodesk Vault. There was a reluctance to make the move because we had so much tied up with the old product. At last, Logstrup made the decision to migrate to Vault and the project kicked off in September 2018.
“Up to now the design of standard components has been completed in Ireland for the group worldwide,” says Rory. “The team in Denmark does a lot of customisation and project work using the standard products designed here. In the past, they had to wait for us to send the latest files and then update them for their models. Now they can work on live files and there's no duplication. We can log on to either Vault so if something happens with the system in Ireland, we can access the Vault in Denmark.
Logstrup stated the following: “My only issue is we should have changed to Autodesk Vault a lot earlier. It’s definitely much faster and more efficient. It's better integrated with the Autodesk product range and anyone in the company that was sceptical about it beforehand, has come around to it.”

Reliability & Consistency Ensures a Seamless Migration
Before introducing Autodesk Vault, Modular Automation relied heavily on managing their files on Windows Explorer and reserving files to Engineers using Autodesk Inventor. This had limitations as many of the design team members need to work on different elements of the design concurrently. The collaboration within the team was essential at the concept and design phase of any project. A new innovative solution was required to optimize collaboration across the extended team members.
“Industry embraces modern methods of construction as benefits are realised”
ESS Modular joined forces with Procad to expand their knowledge and to utilise BIM360 in a more efficient way. “With thorough knowledge and understanding of the current construction trends and requirements, Procad, understood what way the BIM 360 and lean workflows could be tailored to suit ESS Modular” says Keith Martin. A major pain point for ESS Modular was their use of a non-Autodesk platform in the structural department, and their attempts to integrate this into their BIM workflows. This created specific SILOs where cross platform communication was inhibited and at times almost impossible. Also, with external designers and resources using different versions or even different platforms there was zero alignment and costly errors from both a time and quality perspective. Having operators working from home due to the current climate has had its issues but with the use of Autodesk Cloud technology (Collaborate Pro), ESS were more effective in collaborating, resulting in time saving.
