Engineering Workflow Automation for Construction, EPC, and Oil & Gas

POSforAFS: Automating Formwork Calculations Directly Inside AutoCAD

Built on FormCalc, configured to the client’s proprietary panel system and rules.

An Israeli construction firm was spending 3 months per project on manual formwork calculations. Each engineer used a different method. Errors led to $180K in material waste on one project alone. Moreover, the company couldn’t grow without hiring more senior engineers – and those take years to train.

Result: 70% cost reduction. 85% faster turnaround. Engineers freed from calculation work entirely.

Operator Training Simulator for an Air Separation Unit Built from Detailed Design

Traditional training took 4-6 months with safety incidents during hands-on practice. Emergency scenarios couldn’t be practiced on live equipment – too dangerous. New operators felt unprepared when emergencies actually occurred.

We built a Unity-based 3D training simulator from their P&IDs and process models. Operators practice normal operations, startup/shutdown procedures, and emergency responses in a safe virtual environment – making mistakes and learning without real-world consequences.

Measured against the same training workflows before deployment: onboarding from 4–6 months to 2–3 months, training cost per operator down 60%, procedure retention from around 60% to over 90%, incidents during onboarding down 80%, emergency response preparedness up 70%.

Dwg2ExcelExporter: Automated Data Extraction from AutoCAD Drawings to Structured Excel Reports

Reporting that absorbed hours of engineering time per project now runs in seconds. Reports always reflect the current drawing revision. Every figure traces back to a specific drawing element, so the audit trail is implicit rather than reconstructed. New team members produce correct reports from day one – output quality no longer depends on individual experience with the spreadsheet template.

Integration of CAD/BIM with SAP for a Midstream Gas Processing Plant

A gas processing plant had constant mismatches between their AVEVA E3D models and SAP. Engineers transferred data by hand, which caused frequent BOM errors and delayed procurement. The wrong materials showed up on site – and the right ones arrived late.

We built a sync tool that connects E3D directly to SAP. It auto-tags assets, validates specs against master data, and keeps both systems current throughout the project.

Result: 85% better data sync. 70% fewer data-related reworks. 60% faster procurement readiness.

3D Model Review Tool for Multi-Disciplinary Clash Management on a Gas Processing Facility

Eight engineering disciplines. Hundreds of clashes. All tracked in Excel with no version control. Coordination meetings wasted time arguing about which model was current.

We deployed an automated platform with version control, duplicate filtering, assignment workflows, and live dashboards. The result: coordinators could stop chasing spreadsheets and start solving actual design problems.

The review cycle went from 10 days to 3–4 days. Audit preparation became a report rather than a reconstruction, and coordinators stopped chasing spreadsheets.

Keraglass: Automating Glass Embossing Drawing Preparation Inside AutoCAD

Engineers spent days creating shop drawings for each project. Complex geometries (curved walls, stairs, custom angles) required extensive calculations. By the time quotes were ready, clients had moved to faster competitors.

We developed a parametric CAD tool that generates complete railing systems from site measurements – automatically calculating panel sizes, hardware requirements, and structural loads while producing instant shop drawings and material lists.

Result: Quote turnaround from days to hours. 40% more bids processed. 30% win rate improvement.
