The engineering companies are growing at a fast pace and therefore, accuracy is critical. A simple mistake can cause expensive damages, rework, and major delays. Such problems are avoided in the design of Moldtek’s TEKassist since it comes with diverse specialized equipment that eases your Quality Assurance (QA) process, cuts down the risk of human errors and most importantly maintains focus. This post discusses how TEKassist can streamline project workflow with detail tools that improves accuracy and effective project delivery.

Centralized Tools for Seamless Operations

Overseeing many elements of quality assurance can be daunting, particularly where information is scattered in different places. TEKassist makes this easier as it integrates all the necessary QA tools under one roof. So, from checking the drawings to preparing complex reports, with TEKassist you get everything in one place ensuring the process of quality assurance is well coordinated and effective. 

This is especially beneficial for civil engineering services, manufacturing companies and steelwork fabricators since they deal with considerable information, which must be organized and presented in a reasonable time for the successful implementation of the project. The Transmittal Tool is one key example of this kind of tool, since it can create a submittal package in a matter of minutes by using information from Excel and PDF images of drawings without any additional effort. Therefore, less manual work is needed, the turnaround time is improved for submitting crucial documents, and more importantly, all necessary documentation is provided, especially in regard to the key submissions.

E Sheet-PDF Compare for Precision Verification

In structural engineering, a very common task is making sure that all the Piece Marks on the erection drawings correspond with the relevant Excel reports. Thanks to the ESheet-PDF Compare tool, this task can be performed more efficiently. The tool checks each Piece Mark and places the relevant erection reference drawing number on the same assembly drawing which diminishes chances of inconsistency and improves all documentation to be in agreement.

This team-work approach is more crucial to steelwork fabricators and manufacturing companies because every detail cut in the design must be captured in the papers to minimize expensive mistakes and reworking. In civil engineering services, problems of this nature are also experienced, and TEKassist provides services to ensure that accuracy is adhered to all the time.

Streamline Model Validation with the Model Checking Tool

When dealing with complex 3D projects, there are many reasons for costly rework, such as using the wrong material grade, misaligned parts, or incorrect lengths of members. This issue is resolved by the Model Checking Tool, which is capable of performing various checks on the model’s key parameters automatically. It distinguishes errors related to material grades, part orientation, assembly type, member length, and so on allowing you to resolve the problems even before they arise. This tool plays a significant role in maintaining the quality of the 3D models produced in a given project especially in the provides civil engineering services and automotive designing.

This embedding of the Tool into the workflows helps manufacturing companies and steelwork fabricators to overcome most challenges and ensure completeness of every element of the project with the design requirements, thereby minimizing time delays and increasing precision.

AISC Shear Tab Connections for Structural Accuracy

Designing correct shear tab connections is one of the important parts of the structural design process especially in steel work construction. Shear tab connections are used when attaching beams to columns or to other beams where the connection’s precision is important for the loading pattern distribution and structural integrity of a building. In such situations, it is imperative that these connections follow the AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) requirements in place to cater for safety and efficiency in such structural connections.

Nonetheless, the designing and detailing process of such connections is usually extensive and prone to mistakes. Thanks to the AISC Shear Tab Connections Tool, this process has been simplified as it takes away any design and detailing work of shear tab connections. Instead of calculating the right number of bolts, spacing, the thickness of the plate among other variables for each detail, the instrument designs the specific connection even at beam to column and beam to beam connection using the appropriate AISC tables.

This kind of technology is among the most important for all steelwork fabricators, manufacturing companies, civil engineering services where structural accuracy is a must. It also applies to automotive design and electronic manufacturing services where the precision of the joint connections helps in the retention of the product’s safety and reliability.

Customizable ABM Reports for Comprehensive Tracking

Another compelling capability incorporated in the TEKassist suite is the ABM Tool (i.e., Assembly Bill of Materials Tool) whose main aim is to facilitate the preparation of ABM reports as per customer requirements. With this tool, engineers and project managers are able to create in a short time an extensive ABM report in different forms for the different requirements of a project.

Be it a Mark-based report or a Page-Line number-based format, the ABM Tool has been designed in a way that impacts all the organization’s and documentation’s structures and standards. Civil engineering services and manufacturing companies and even steelwork fabricators would find this helpful owing to the fact that particular industries call for severe materials control and proper reporting to avert project stoppages.

In addition, the tool facilitates the generation of reports in either a specific order or for the whole model enhancing management of data to the discretion of the user. With such reporting flexibility, the tool is useful in electronic manufacturing services as well as automotive design by providing efficient tracking and management of materials during the entire production phase.

Minimize Human Error Through Automation

It is normal for QA processes to be prone to human errors, especially those which relate to detailed, repetitive, or complicated work. To this problem, TEKassist responds by automatizing a significant number of the quality checks that are likely to be missed. In processes such as the validation of models, taking dimensions, and preparing reports, TEKassist drastically cuts down the processes that require human input thus reducing the probability of errors ins incidences in the entire evolution of the process.

This automation is essential on the other hand to manufacturing companies, electronic manufacturing services, and work steelwork fabricators, where time and throwing precision are critical to the success of the project. This way, TEKassist reduces human error which enhances error rate but improves the pace of operations such that civil engineering services and automotive design teams can finish their tasks within the set time limits without any quality degradation.

Regular Updates for Evolving Project Needs

Engineering projects are dynamic, as are the means of managing such projects and their tools. Evidence of advance is seen in TEKassist that provides a lot of updates and upgrades so that the tools that you depend on, are always up to the current market and your project’s requirements. TEKassist is purposely built for changes whether it is improvement of existing tools by introducing new functionalities or enhancement of features to perform better, ensuring that the highest levels of accuracy and efficiency are sustained.
