Pdf Summary

In the presentation titled "Digitizing Precast Concrete Production with EDGECloud" by Alyssa Roberson, the Director of Go-to-Market Strategy at PTAC Engineering, key insights into the EDGECloud platform were shared. EDGECloud is a cloud-based tool that facilitates real-time communication between engineering and production staff, leveraging data directly from Revit models. It aims to create a paperless production workflow by offering interactive 3D and 2D views, improving interpretation and ensuring that production personnel have access to the latest information through effective document control.<br /><br />The platform's features include revision tracking, which records and timestamps exports, alerting users if they are viewing outdated revisions. EDGECloud also provides several information and selection tools, such as details on individual component properties, production sequences, and an interactive bill of materials. Its 3D viewer allows for additional functionalities like annotation, measurement, and adjusting visibility with tools like transparency and section boxes. The 2D viewer offers markup tools for drawing, highlighting, and using interactive checklists for quality control processes.<br /><br />EDGECloud supports user permissions, defining roles and access levels, and can integrate with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems like Concrete Vision. This integration helps track which pieces are scheduled for casting on specific days and beds, optimizing the production schedule. Overall, the platform is designed to enhance productivity and precision in precast concrete production by streamlining communication and documentation through digital solutions.
