A newly built plant for the assembly of industrial engines was handed over with the majority of its drawings provided in a cardboard box of DVDs. The assembly line is over a quarter of a mile long and valuable time was being lost by maintenance staff both getting to and trying to find the correct drawing files.

To address this Trix Organizer was installed and set up so that staff could simply drill down a trees structure based on stations and processes to identify and open the drawings and manuals needed.

Each station has its own computer and uses the Trix Organizer Web client. Maintenance staff redline drawings in Trix Organizer when changes are made and this redline is used by CAD operators to check out and update the master CAD files.

A large structural engineering drawing office was using a file based system to manage their documents and the PDF files produced by their steel detailing software for issue to manufacturing and sites. This caused costly bottlenecks in the production and distribution of the paper transmittals.

The installation of Trix Organizer eliminated the bottlenecks and did away with the complex and unreliable Excel spreadsheets which had been used to track transmittals. It also provided immediate access to drawings on the shop floor, replacing the need to walk to the office to pull drawings.
