Leading Supplier of Air-Driven Fastening Tools Manages Data with CoCreate's Software
CoCreate Software GmbH announced that Fasco S.p.A. chose CoCreate's data management software, CoCreate OneSpace Model Manager, over a competitive solution.
The Italian company, a leading designer and manufacturer of air-driven fastening tools, already uses CoCreate's 2D CAD tool, CoCreate OneSpace Drafting.
"We mainly use OneSpace Drafting for our design work because it's fast and easy to use," says Luca Graziani, IT Manager at Fasco S.p.A.
Fasco manages its vast amount of data using OneSpace Model Manager. Although the company evaluated other data management solutions, OneSpace Model Manager proved the perfect complement to OneSpace Drafting.
"We want to improve design productivity and quality by managing our design and project data efficiently," says Graziani.
With OneSpace Model Manager, the company can load and store 2D drawings, use revision and state control, find all the different places a design is used in the company, and search the company's considerable database to find designs in seconds.
All new CAD data Fasco creates in projects will now be managed with OneSpace Model Manager. Design, production and other related departments will draw from one central data vault at the main development site in Italy.
"With all of us working on the same data, we can see how we'll save time and costs," says Graziani. "Not to mention the savings that come from re-using designs, since everything is now so accessible in the OneSpace Model Manager database.
Fasco works with CoCreate reseller Next Technologies. "The time saved searching for documents alone made our investment worthwhile," says Graziani. "I'd estimate that productivity leapt by more than 50% compared to our old manual processes for finding designs."
