De Groot Vroomshoop

De Groot Vroomshoop is a company with an ambition that perfectly matches current social need for more sustainability in building materials. The continuous demand for high-quality wooden roofs creates certain challenges during work preparation. Team CADblanche has been asked to optimize the engineering process from a digital perspective and to implement a practical solution to improve the workflow. The process started with an audit and resulted in a feasible step-by-step plan to automate the engineering of the roof elements. Think of unambiguous data for building concepts and the automation of engineering processes, resulting in validated unambiguous source data. And as you probably know, this is what creates efficient automation!

The audit results immediately provided De Groot Vroomshoop with clarity regarding the elaboration of the digital roadmap. Three serious steps were taken within a year, resulting in the first use of the RoofDesigner in early 2022. A world-class automation impact!

"Our customer can now send his roof configuration in a small file. The RoofDesigner does the rest!"

After an intensive audit process, CADblanche was asked by De Groot Vroomshoop to automate the design of roof elements using Tekla Structures in accordance with the wishes and specifications of various customers. Due to the enormous diversity in customer requirements, CADblanche has chosen to use its own investment to develop a generic, yet flexible, tool that appears to be perfectly suitable for De Groot Vroomshoop: The RoofDesigner. The result is an ingenious tool that saves a vast amount of time. It prevents a lot of manual and time-consuming work. It also greatly reduces the likelihood of errors in the 3D model and the RoofDesigner can perform certain validations before the production process starts. The RoofDesigner can be expanded with various company-specific details and can perfectly grow along with the development that De Groot Vroomshoop is going through.

The collaboration has led to a first step towards more Data-driven engineering and production. There is also an important positive side effect, more understanding and knowledge about the importance of unambiguous data models and standardization in production! A pleasant collaboration and a clear common goal led to a daily usable newly developed tool to be proud of!
