Sovelia AutoCAD
Optimizing workflows — Karmøy Skipsconsult AS’s adoption of Sovelia AutoCAD
Established in 1977, Karmøy Skipsconsult AS is a versatile technical consultancy specializing in industries such as shipping, offshore, and farming. This customer case explores the company's strategic decision to adopt Sovelia AutoCAD to optimize their operations and successfully overcome the challenges and limitations of standard AutoCAD.
Navigating complex designs with advanced automation tools
A strategic decision led Karmøy Skipsconsult AS to adopt Sovelia AutoCAD. Symetri recommended the software when they purchased AutoCAD licenses, largely due to the need for uniformity across their global operations. The integration of Sovelia AutoCAD has streamlined their processes with consistent templates and symbols and provided access to an extensive range of pre-made libraries.
The advanced automation tools have minimized once time-consuming tasks, enabling the team to concentrate more on the creative and technical aspects of their projects.
For example, when designing working tables for supply vessels, Sovelia AutoCAD's tools simplify early, precise calculations. The software enables quick verification of design integrity through measurement and documentation features, reducing the need for immediate full-scale simulations. This capability not only speeds up the design process but also ensures accuracy and compliance with industry standards.
Tailored workflows for better outcomes
Beyond automation, Karmøy Skipsconsult AS has enjoyed numerous workflow enhancements, benefiting from features like template setup and distribution and efficient project copying. These features are specifically tailored to their needs, making Sovelia AutoCAD superior to standard AutoCAD for their specialized workflows.
"Sovelia AutoCAD is the backbone of our AutoCAD drawings. We get better documentation and faster drawing creation with the discipline menus and the uniform setup. We also get our own workflows implemented easily into Sovelia AutoCAD.” - Juan Martinez, Naval Architect at Karmøy Skipsconsult AS
Future Outlook: Enhancing efficiency across project lifecycles
The implementation of Sovelia AutoCAD has not only shortened project delivery times but also improved the quality of drawings, leading to greater client satisfaction. And despite a shift towards more 3D engineering with Sovelia Inventor and Autodesk Inventor, Sovelia AutoCAD remains a crucial part of their toolkit. It continues to play an integral role in the company’s strategy to enhance effectiveness and streamline operations.
Karmøy Skipsconsult AS's experience also suggests that Sovelia AutoCAD is particularly beneficial for companies facing CAD workflow challenges or lacking an organized component database, offering a substantial return on investment through improved efficiency and reduced labor costs.
