Optimize and Automate Your Precast Production Using EDGE Handout

Pdf Summary

The document provides an overview of the EDGE platform developed by PTAC Engineering to optimize and automate precast production. The platform consists of several modules: EDGE^R for precast detailing, EDGE^ERP for enterprise resource planning, EDGE^Cloud for digitalization of the production process, and EDGE^CAM for exporting data for production automation machines. <br /><br />The EDGE^R module allows for efficient creation of 3D models, automated marking and dimensioning of precast members, and generation of product schedules and bills of materials. It also features automated warping of precast members and connections. The EDGE^ERP module enables the extraction of relevant data from the EDGE^R model for production scheduling, inventory management, and quality control tracking. <br /><br />The EDGE^Cloud module provides a paperless production workflow, allowing for easy access to the latest information and providing a three-dimensional visualization tool for better communication between production and engineering. It also offers revision tracking and interactive bill of materials. <br /><br />The EDGE^CAM module allows for the extraction of information from the EDGE^R model for use in production automation machines. It supports various export formats and features advanced options for exporting reinforcement and mesh. It can be used for laser projection, water soluble bed plotting, automated rebar bending, automated mesh fabrication, concrete distribution, and shuttering automation. <br /><br />Overall, the EDGE platform aims to streamline and optimize the precast production process, from detailing to production, by automating repetitive tasks, improving communication, and increasing efficiency.
