CAD Schroer's Design Automation Consultancy Services


Design Automation Examples


Below are a few examples of customisations we have supplied to automate some of our our clients' design and data management processes:

Architectural Metal Design and Manufacturing:
Automated creation of complete spiral staircase assembly drawings, as well as detail drawings of steps, handrails, ballustrades etc., based on a few user input values

Marine, Transport and Automotive:
Automatic calculation of the number of gear rings required in industrial-sized gear boxes based on a few user input values
Automatic production of propeller assembly and blade detail drawings based on figures passed from an aerodynamic shape calculation program
Entirely automated design of optimal heavy-duty batteries from individual cells, including calculation of fit and packaging requirements, based on user input of box size, voltage, current and lifetime requirements
Automated brake pipe bending jig design, where specialised clamps for bending machines are automatically designed based on drawings of the pipes they need to machine
Automated Web-based emergency vehicle configuration and drawing generation based on choice menu selections

Water, Power and Utilities:
Automatic creation of terrain cross-section drawings, showing pipes routed in a 3D model created from survey information
Electric power distribution grid control and mapping: A direct database link between drawings showing an entire regional electrical power distribution and the control centre, allowing engineers to control power breakers in the field, for example, from the drawing
Automatic transmission tower (pylon) design and detailing system, which creates all tower assembly and detail drawings based on a set of user-determined parameters
Automated design and take-off of HVAC systems based on an arrangement drawing, automatically producing all detail drawings and updating design data to manufacturing systems
Automatic creation of electrical disc insulator drawings with different profiles based on simple input dialog

Chemical Processing:
Integration of a new 3D system and analysis tools with existing CAD/CAM environment, to include automatic pump inducer model creation from value tables, and automatic drawing production, including developed sheet metal designs for manufacturing

General Data Management Applications:
Automated plotting systems; e.g. the automatic creation and management of PDFs of drawings issued for release
Automated regeneration of PDF files of vault drawings after changes occur

Factory layout software and services, 3D plant design for process engineers and manufacturers, 2D and 3D mechanical CAD.
