Story of Development
ASEC Inc. was looking for a way to speed up their pole design engineering cycle by tackling one of the most tedious and time-intensive aspects of the design process – the generation of detailed material lists for each project. After considering multiple options, we opted to develop a fully customizable standalone application with a database backend. This solution extends beyond the PLS-CADD material management system to provide additional calculations and automations not available within PLS-CADD. The result of our efforts was a solution that users could run in minutes – saving 4-8 hours on average, compared to the previously manual process. This highly successful solution helped ASEC save over $1M per year in operating costs compared to the previous manual methods.
