Kratki, a leading Polish manufacturer of fireplaces and heating solutions, started Management of production workflows by integrating Inventor and Vault software with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Design models are enriched by data based on reference values from ERP and calculated properties from the Inventor 3D model. Customization of Vault Professional software also provides automatic generation of PDF, DXF™, and STP files, as well as quick updates of many projects after the change of a single part. With these tools, Kratki can efficiently respond to specific customer needs, through full digitalization at every stage of the process and data consistency in both systems. This optimizes the technology preparation process, eliminates tedious project update activities after changing single parts, and reduces errors related to outdated documentation. This session will explore how the synergy of CAD/PDM (product data management) and ERP systems has strengthened Kratki’s innovation capacity and market agility.

Elevating the digital maturity of our clients' factories, we aim to transform traditional manufacturing practices by transitioning from outdated paper-based drawings to the powerful concept of the Digital Prototyping. We start by scanning the facility to generate a 3D point cloud, which forms the base for architectural and MEP models in Revit software. These are imported into Inventor software, where we design and optimize the production line with machinery, conveyors, and robots. Factory Design Utilities software allows us to quickly build detailed layouts. With Navisworks software, we perform clash detection and offer virtual reality (VR) walk-throughs. FlexSim simulates the workflow to ensure efficiency. For data management, we use Vault Pro software and Autodesk Construction Cloud, while Autodesk Tandem software improves operations. This journey helps clients move beyond outdated systems and embrace the Digital Prototyping and Digital Prototyping.
