Appligent PDF Products offered in UK
Cad-Capture is now offering Appligent's range of PDF products to the UK Manufacturing and Engineering sector.
This intellectual property amounted to years' worth of accumulated knowledge and experience which LDV felt much too valuable to lose.
Scanning the drawings and the engineering change documentation has preserved this knowledge and experience.
It has also made the information available at the click of the mouse, not only to the Birmingham plant but to the whole of the GAZ Group worldwide.
LDV embarked upon this project in Q3 2006.
A number of service providers were approached to quote for the business; with Cad-Capture being successful.
In total, Cad-Capture collected approximately 75,000 drawings and 50,000 engineering change documents from LDV's Birmingham premises.
These ranged in size from A4 up to a number of roll drawings which measured 1524 x 4572mm.
All were in varying states of repair and legibility.
In order to add further value to the project, Cad-Capture sourced packaging materials and after scanning, packed the hard copy drawings and documentation ready for shipping to the new owners.
All of the containers were labelled with their content and a database was provided so that each and every document could be easily traced to its container.
Mark Hounslow, LDV's BOM/CAD Support Manager, said "The decision to select Cad-Capture was based upon its professionalism, price and obvious long standing experience in project managing projects such as ours".
"All in all, we were delighted by the service provided by Cad-Capture and now have in our possession three DVDs where once we had an entire drawing store of racks, cabinets and box folders".
