Success Story

Rising to The Challenges of The Industry With Vault, Revit, Inventor, Autodesk Construction Cloud And PLM Software!

Rising to The Challenges of The Industry With Vault, Revit, Inventor, Autodesk Construction Cloud And PLM Software!

Customer challenge

Today’s push for remote work and custom designs have exposed some logistical difficulties for Starline Windows. To continue providing services in every step of the process, there is a constant need for better tracking and traceability of project commitments, product manufacturing and installation life cycles. Starline Windows faces business challenges that many other businesses face such as (1) lack of design collaboration engagement with external architects and contractors, (2) lack of design revision visibility for field personnel, (3) lack of project cost clarity, (4) limited data transfers between operating systems from the office to the field and (5) lack of cross department visibility in their overall coordination for logistics management.

Project goals

Starline Windows has always sought to improve granularity and accuracy related to their costing takeoffs. Due to software limitations, they often had to manually manage their takeoffs and Bill of Materials (BOM). This resulted in other departments working with manually generated data reports on a regular basis which are prone to human error. Starline Windows first connected with SolidCAD in late 2019 to provide insight to the concerns and challenges they have been facing.

Solution

SolidCAD helped organize a detailed plan that would organize their pain points and provide a solution into four key phases: 1) First, improving their Product Lifecycle Management. Starline needed a solution that would better manage their projects for employees working in office and provide visibility over the progress of those projects. SolidCAD implemented the Autodesk Fusion Manage PLM solution to achieve this and set-up automatic notifications to any team members, to ensure they are always staying on track with any project changes. 2) Secondly, they needed to enhance their design process with Revit and Inventor. 3) Thirdly, it was critical to integrate Autodesk’s Vault Professional to ensure that everyone at Starline was working from a central source of organized data. 4) Lastly, they needed to better improve the collaboration on field and in office with BIM 360 and Autodesk's Construction Cloud (ACC).

Business outcome

Over the past year, SolidCAD has successfully implemented these various solutions and continues to support Starline throughout each phase. Starline Windows have already seen initial improvements and are on track to many more successes in later stages of their journey, such as: 1) Improved project management for office staff, allowing for visibility over processes and projects, 2) Automation between Revit and Inventor allowed for automatic model creation based on Revit Schedule, 3) Implementing Vault and connecting it to PLM software has led to accurate data sharing to be available remotely.

Conclusion

Overall, Starline has been able to automate their processes between the ACC and PLM software solutions and other Autodesk products, which meant that projects can be visible in personal productivity applications as well as project and organizational management allowing for improved resource management from beginning to end of projects.

Streamlining Workflows and Improving Data Management with Fusion 360 Manage!

After an investigation of 3D-P’s issues, the team identified two specific areas they wanted to improve; (1) the inefficient design management that relied heavily on manual data entry, and outdated practices for managing their Bill of Materials (BOMs) and (2) challenges of change management and communication. As the company grew, they realized that a lot of their processes were slowing them down and needed to be optimized.
