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maturity of our clients' factories, we aim to transform traditional manufacturing practices by transitioning from outdated paper-based drawings to the powerful concept of the Digital Prototyping.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 This journey helps clients move beyond outdated systems and embrace the Digital Prototyping and Digital Prototyping.

In this session, we'll present a study showing the process for implementing Vault Professional software with Autodesk Fusion Manage software with bidirectional integration. See what went well, and what didn't go well and why. Discover what lessons we learned. Explore how much can be implemented at one time for users to absorb, understand, and gain ROI from.

Vault Professional data management software helps engineers and designers organize, manage, and track their design data. Vault Professional supports file-centered and item-centered environments, where files and items are the central data management units. In this session, we will explain the differences between these two environments, the benefits of using an item-centered vault, and the considerations for transitioning from a file-centered to an item-centered vault.

Learn how to increase efficiency in your development process by implementing Vault software and Fusion Lifecycle software. In this class, you will hear about the journey Reynaers Aluminium took to move from its old product data management (PDM) system to a fully integrated solution: CAD, PDM, PLM (product lifecycle management), and enterprise resource planning (ERP). You will learn about the how and why behind our architecture and the lessons learned during implementation. Get insight into the place PDM and PLM have in our organization today, how they are connected with other core databases, and what our further digitalization road map looks like. Also discover how Fusion Lifecycle offers article lifecycle management as well as full project management by streamlining our NPI (new product introduction) flow. All project phases are implemented into Fusion Lifecyle, including a customized project management tab to enable real project planning. Integrating Fusion Lifecycle with Vault creates one common platform, resulting in an efficient way of collaboration as well as a single source of truth across the company.

Get on board with the enterprise product lifecycle management (PLM) team at D3 Technologies and learn from experts who configure and support Fusion Lifecycle software for some of the largest implementations in the United States. If you are a Fusion Lifecycle user or administrator, or you want to get in on the action and see (within 60 minutes) all the cool things this amazing technology can do, this class will deliver. Be warned, some topics may include terms like API, REST, and computed fields—but not to worry, we will do our best to keep it consumable and interesting for all user levels. Each team member plans to present at least 10 tips for improving your Fusion Lifecycle tenant or user experience. Setting the stage, we’ll have at least one solution architect, Fusion Lifecycle system administrator, implementation consultant, developer, and even a project manager. That is quite a team with a ton of experience implementing every type of field, script, workspace, project, and integration that connects to Fusion Lifecycle.

When used together, Vault Professional software and Fusion Lifecycle software provide a combined solution that is the best of all worlds for product data management (PDM) and product lifecycle management (PLM). While Vault runs on-prem to keep your CAD data safe behind your firewall, Fusion Lifecycle is cloud-based for flexibility and ease of deployment. With powerFLC (Vault Fusion Lifecycle connector), coolOrange offers an easy-to-use and flexible tool to combine Fusion Lifecycle and Vault processes. Previous versions of powerFLC included predefined workflows, and with the latest version of powerFLC, it is even possible to create custom workflows to synchronize any data between Vault and Fusion Lifecycle. This class will demonstrate the advantages of using both products together and show some of the endless possibilities of this integration.

Our investments focus on perfecting and modernizing the experience. Secondly, we aim to enable you to connect to your data anywhere, everywhere by increasing data accessibility. Finally, we will reveal useful insights so you can improve your decision-making process by relying on the managed data.

Surveyors, engineers, and governments all collect significant amounts of spatial data and supporting documentation such as design drawings and metadata. When undertaking new projects, it is important to have easy access to all the supporting information, especially in the context of geographic location. While you can store documents and their associated properties using document management systems such as Vault software or BIM 360 Docs software, those systems do not directly enable integration with a geographic information system (GIS). By accessing the Vault and/or Forge API along with Esri’s JavaScript and REST APIs, you can directly integrate GIS data to provide better, more versatile access to this data.

Learn how to kickstart your design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) process by using Fusion Lifecycle software for rapid innovation and concurrent design. Conventional design methodologies tend to be linear with siloed functional groups relegated to their respective touchpoints in the design development lifecycle. The complexities and nuances of DfAM require a modern and flexible approach that facilitates additive manufacturing’s unique design space and value proposition. With an emphasis on exploring divergent and creative thinking, we will examine how Fusion Lifecycle can manage innovative design development for DfAM and become the foundation of a digital product thread.

At Autodesk University 2013 you learned that right under your fingertips, already installed on your machines, lies Vault software functionality that can have a drastic impact on the way you work (view the original course). We taught you how to increase productivity, reduce employee stress, and maximize output by learning about functionality that exists in our products today. We scratched the surface, but there is so much more to explore. In the sequel we'll uncover functionality that we didn't have time to cover in the first class, and we'll dive into more of the functionality of Vault Workgroup software and Vault Professional software. This lecture will feature real-world demonstrations of the content. It is time to use the Vault software product to its full potential.

This class provides attendees with a deeper understanding of the Vault Professional, all-grown-up, next-generation web client interface.

This class will look at properties in Vault Professional data management software, both system and user defined. We'll explore where to access them, how to create mappings to your CAD files, and how to use that information in Vault software or on your CAD files themselves. I will use examples from my own Vault setup to show the power of property data and how to use it. Examples will include property mapping to both files and items. Come to this class to start thinking about how these might help you in your Vault setup.

In this class, a CIO of a leading ship-building company from India shall be jointly presenting with a partner a case study of their custom implementation of Vault software as a business process automation platform to synchronize their design and business workflows to their Enterprise Business systems—Infor ERP. The class will explore how various departments of a ship-manufacturing organization works around the design data that flows between various users and integrates critical items and BOM with their ERP system and automates several business workflows customized on Vault interface. The presenter will explain how they could save close to 20% of their design-to-manufacturing cycle time by streamlining Vault product data management (PDM) software to remove redundant work on ERP while enabling a collaborative and automated business environment. This class will explore the extent to which Vault can be customized beyond its basic features, and throw light on integration of BOM and related data to ERP or other applications.

In the latest release, Vault data management software introduced the capability to automatically publish and share 2D PDFs of drawings during the release process. In this class, we'll explore the different aspects of this new functionality. We'll take you through the steps to correctly set up this publishing process in Vault and show you the different publish options. The PDF format of a 2D design file is used in many firms to facilitate communications among engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, and other departments. We'll also teach you how to let users outside your engineering department access the PDFs for printing and other workflows. This session will feature Vault Professional data management software and Vault Workgroup, including the use of the Vault Job Processor.

Copy Design is one of the most powerful features in Autodesk Vault. Engineers are leveraging existing designs in one way or another, either by reusing the design completely to eliminate design time, or by copying an existing design or updating the design which will take less time. Less time is less cost. Moreover, apart from the reduced modeling time, design reuse will further have its impact in the form of cost and time savings in the downstream engineering, manufacturing, and purchasing. The Copy Design feature in Autodesk Vault 2020 has many enhancements which help engineers do more faster with existing designs. This class will discuss the enhancements to Copy Design and illustrate how to use Copy Design to be more productive.

This session will cover and demonstrate planned functionality for Vault software. We will discuss the future strategy of the product and how you can help drive the product to fit your needs.
