Success Story

Selectively Importing CAD Archive into Autodesk Vault and Automating File Publishing to Increase Productivity

Selectively Importing CAD Archive into Autodesk Vault and Automating File Publishing to Increase Productivity

Customer challenge

Since the company was founded in 1988, Tanzer has been developing application-specific machines and production facilities with a high degree of technical know-how. With mechanical systems installed worldwide, Tanzer Maschinenbau operates in the global handling systems market of reusable plastic crates in the logistics and industrial sector.

Tanzer develops and manufactures specialized machines in close contact with our customers. Teamwork and interdisciplinary skills lead to innovative solutions that help our partners to succeed

Tanzer was in need of a smart way to selectively import their CAD archive into Autodesk Vault, reload their legacy assemblies and automate the creation of PDF, DXF, DWG and STEP files upon release.

Project goals

Reduce the time and cost of implementing and maintaining Autodesk Vault

Solution

Relying our long-term experience in the field of data import to Autodesk Vault, we went for a flexible solution that would allow Tanzer to customize our tools to their own needs in order to increase productivity while saving time.

By leveraging two of our most popular tools, powerJobs and powerLoad, we managed to implement Autodesk Vault in just a few weeks.

Business outcome

Switching to automation for the release of PDF, DXF, DWG and STEP files, Tanzer was able to reduce the efforts devoted to file publishing by 15-20%. At the same time, errors went down by an impressive 30%.

Conclusion

The COOLORANGE tools allowed me to immediately contribute on my own, reducing the time and cost of implementing and maintaining Autodesk Vault.

Enhancing Engineering Efficiency and Supply Chain with Autodesk Vault Integration at KUKA

The initial setup involved running three powerJobs on three different designer computers to generate PDF files as needed. The intention was to save a dedicated machine and CAD license. This required the respective designer to become the job-processing machine if necessary. This situation did not allow for timely execution and reliability. Discussing with the customer, it became clear that the Inventor Server would not require a license, and a dedicated machine would ensure convenient and reliable performance. The complete powerJobs solution would then improve overall job queue processes, and designers would be able to focus on their primary tasks.


HOERBIGER Enhances Engineering Efficiency with Autodesk Vault and coolOrange Solutions

In 1895, the steel plate valve invented by Hanns Hörbiger is patented. The valve plate opens when the gas pressure is high enough and closes as long as the spring pressure is higher than the gas pressure. The HOERBIGER steel plate valve brings about a tremendous improvement in performance. HOERBIGER's performance-critical products and services enable customers and partners from various industries to improve the performance and safety of their products and operations, save energy, and reduce emissions. Hoerbiger wanted to replace the current Vault-SAP integration within three months. The current integration was quite expensive in terms of both, software licenses and maintenance. It was also cumbersome to use and required the use of Vault items which was not requested by the customer. As the assemblies made by Hoerbiger are simple and given that Hoerbiger runs Vault in a fully replicated environment between Europe, USA and Asia, the use of item made the whole process more complicated than necessary.
