WEB Engineering: Service Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

WEB Inženjering is a company from Kragujevac that has been dealing with service engineering in mechanical engineering since 2010. As it is becoming increasingly difficult to retain good and experienced employees, who are changing jobs, places of residence and even professions more frequently, companies are facing ever greater challenges in terms of the quality of products and services, innovation and thus their development. 

"Our mission is to reduce operational instability in mechanical design and engineering jobs in companies. We help companies to become as agile as possible in order to maximize their growth and profits," says Darko Ćaldović from WEB Inženjering. 

"For the company 'Inženjering Kompanija doo' from Smederevo, which deals with the planning of pneumatic transport systems for powder materials, industrial suction systems, compressed air distribution systems and steam pipes, we plan these systems - from the idea to planning, procurement, production, assembly and commissioning - on the basis of sketches and technological diagrams (e.g., PID diagrams).  

One of the recently successfully completed projects: Aspiration of the Flaking mills. 

Investor: Victoria Oil, Shed.

In the third phase, it was important to provide the external installation team with adequate and complete information with all instructions in order to carry out the work as efficiently and accurately as possible, assemble the equipment and commission the installation, which was made considerably more difficult by the configuration of the space, but also by the very short period of planned downtime.

"For the successful development of the mechanical part of the project, for coordination with the electrical and structural projects and for efficient communication communication with the assemblers and contractors, we needed more computer programs," says Ćaldović. 

On the advice of Autodesk Solution Provider TeamCAD's knowledgeable and approachable staff, we rented a package of mechanical engineering tools from Autodesk that combined the following services at a good price: 

• ReCap - to record available space 

• 3DS Max - for computer processing of recorded space 

• Inventor - for designing, creating 3D models and workshop drawings 

• Inventor Frame Generator - for constructing smaller supporting lattice structures, platforms 

• iLogic - for programming add-ins for Inventor, speeding up work, automating the design process and creating blueprints 

• Nesting - for arranging elements on a sheet metal plate, as a preparation for cutting on plasma, laser, water jet, and the result is saving time and materials 

• Vault Pro - for organizing data 

• AutoCAD - for creating schematic views 

• Nastran - for computer simulation of loads on supports and structures 

• Plant 3D - for designing the distribution of compressed air, steam pipelines and making isometrics 

• Navisworks - for presenting future changes to the plant from the first and third person to the investor; for checking collisions 

• SharedView - for "online" presentation of 3D models to assemblers

"We implemented the software tools gradually and thoughtfully over an extended period to solve the current problems in working and communicating with other project stakeholders. The adaptation of employees and the acceptance of new and innovative ways of working was experienced as a necessity and solution for simpler, more accurate, and more efficient work and not as an imposed solution. The benefits for the client are fewer errors, more completed projects in less time, easier communication with all stakeholders, and higher profits."  

"The experience and knowledge we gain through each project is invaluable, and the acquisition of new software tools is made much easier by the support of the TeamCAD." Considering that the package of tools for mechanical engineering that we leased offers several other programs, we intend to learn new skills and tools in cooperation with TeamCAD." 

"The next step in our development is the adoption of BIM design technology, which we will definitely try to develop with the help of the professional and innovative approach of TeamCAD employees." In this way, we will acquire new skills and programming tools in a short time and offer our customers an even better service," concludes Darko Ćaldović.
