Barli

Barli building systems is a company with a healthy innovative drive. They are growing rapidly and as a result the work preparation faces the necessary challenges. Team CADblanche has been called in to find optimizations in the engineering from a digital point of view and to implement them where desired. An audit process resulted in various points for attention. These were items like the unambiguous documentation of Barli objects, the automation of engineering processes resulting in validated source data, the automation of time-consuming export routines and creating a BIM protocol to promote collaboration with third parties.

Such an advisory process provides Barli with guidance for the elaboration of their digital roadmap. One of the recommendations was developed directly by CADblanche at the request of Barli: the CADblanche ExportAll on Tekla. And with success!

“CADblanche works quickly and efficiently. They are adequate when it comes to fine-tuning.”

“It is striking that CADblanche uses a clear and transparent communication method.”

After an intensive audit process, Barli asked CADblanche to develop the Exportall on Tekla Structures for the various outputs that Barli generates for production. The result is an ingenious tool that saves enormous time, as the routines make a lot of manual and time-consuming work superfluous. It also excludes a possible chance of error and can perform certain validations before the export process starts. It is also possible to track which elements are already exported for production. Of course, the ExportAll can be expanded with various company-specific modules and it can perfectly grow with the development that Barli is going through. Useful!

The collaboration has led to a first step towards more Data-driven production with an important by-catch: more understanding and knowledge about the importance of unambiguous data models! A pleasant collaboration and a common goal led to a daily usable newly developed tool to be proud of!
