Take a deep dive into the EDGE platform to see how precast detailing and production can be optimized and automated. We will first discover how EDGE for Revit can be used in conjunction with Autodesk Revit to make intense precast detailing simple and model based. This will show the EDGE for Revit solution creating models at an LOD of 400 to make the detailing process simpler. We will then learn how the EDGE model can be used to optimize and automate downstream processes of precast production including enterprise resource planning integration using EDGE^ERP, paperless production workflows using EDGE^Cloud mobile application, and production automation workflows using EDGE^CAM.

Learning Objectives:

• Use EDGE to simplify the precast detailing process from start to finish
• Explore PTAC’s resource planning approach, EDGE^ERP
• Send finished pieces to the web with EDGE^Cloud
• Export pieces for machining with EDGE^CAM
