Refrigeration, Cooling Companies Choose Autodesk Inventor
SAN
RAFAEL, CA,
Feb 12, 2010 - A growing number of refrigeration and cooling companies are bringing their
machinery to market more quickly and efficiently with Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK)
Inventor software.
Companies such as Mammoth-WEBCO Inc. (Mammoth), a leading custom HVAC
operation, and KYSOR Panel Systems (KYSOR), a leading developer of walk-in
coolers and freezers based on innovative insulated panels, use Inventor
software to go beyond 3D design to Digital Prototyping. With Inventor
software, these customers create a single digital model that gives them the
ability to design, visualize and simulate their products before they are
actually built.
By using Inventor software, Mammoth, which manufactures large-scale
commercial custom rooftop equipment that weighs up to 60,000 pounds per
section, no longer needs to construct physical prototypes and experiences
far fewer errors when manufacturing its massive equipment. Since
implementing Inventor software, Mammoth has helped reduce manufacturing time
by nearly 15 percent and now saves anywhere from $500 to $9,000 per project.
"Our units can be anywhere from the size of a bus to the size of a floor
of an office building. Prior to using Inventor, we could not perform studies
of the form, fit and function as accurately," said Matt McFarland, Mammoth
director of engineering and design technology. "We've certainly noticed more
productivity on the floor by creating digital prototypes with Inventor, and
we can add more details to our drawings, saving anywhere from hours to days
in delivering our projects."
Meanwhile, KYSOR has streamlined much of the engineer-to-order process
for its insulated panels by using Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Vault
software. KYSOR panels are used for food storage in supermarkets and
convenience stores, as well as scientific applications where environmental
control is critical and cold storage facilities where temperature, humidity
and light must be precisely controlled. With the help of Inventor software,
KYSOR has increased the overall efficiency of its design automation by about
45 percent, significantly reducing sales engineering design time and
completing orders faster with fewer manufacturing errors.
Vilter Manufacturing, a leading provider of compressors for industrial
refrigeration and gas compression, also leverages Inventor software to drive
innovation, achieve higher quality and speed time to market.
