Thermo-Compressor Design Automation Solution for Global Boiler
Manufacturing Giant
Skyrocketed Revenue Growth with the help of Design Automation
Client Background
The Client has been in the business of building steam engineering and control instrumentation solutions that work for process industry. Started with steam generation solutions 50 years ago, today it has partnered with the world technology leaders in respective fields, manufacturing products that cover the entire spectrum of energy generation, energy efficiency, control and instrumentation for the process and power industry.
Pre-implementation Status
The Design Team of the client used AutoCAD software for the design of various energy equipment viz., Thermo-compressors and boilers.
Before the generation of Drawings, a lot of complex calculations need to be performed such as calculation of No. of diffuser cones and their sizes, BTS Pipe, Thickness Calculations, etc.
As the business of the client was rapidly growing, the work load on the design team increased considerably.
This caused a productivity bottleneck and the current order cycle time of the project was affecting project delivery milestones.
Need Analysis
The client faced following challenges in Manual Design Workflow for Thermo compressors:
Growing Business Leads to Increased Workload: As the client's business expands, the demand for complex designs has surged, placing immense pressure on their design team. Increased workload threatens quality and timelines.
Limitations of Current Design Tools: Relying solely on AutoCAD for intricate thermocompressor designs is efficient but can be time-consuming, leading to potential errors and delays in production.
Objective for Automation: To enhance productivity and reduce project cycle times, the client seeks to implement automation strategies that streamline their design processes and optimize workload management.
PARAM Team analyzed the design process at the Client’s plant, and with its proven ability, proposed a Software Solution for Automation of Thermo compressor Design.
