Biach Industries Selects Synergis Adept For Its Proven Track Record And High Vendor Confidence
Synergis Software, a division of Synergis Technologies, Inc. that develops the Synergis Adept® document management solution, announced that Biach Industries, Inc., selected Adept to improve control, strengthen security, and facilitate authorized access to mission critical manufacturing drawings while reducing administrative impact on the Engineering Department. Biach's ( http://www.biach.com ) precision tightening technology provides leak free closures for large vessels through the use of customized bolt tensioner designs, which are used for a wide range of fields including the military, NASA, the power industry, the petro-chemical industry, and construction.
The challenges Biach faced are common to many manufacturers today. The company found it increasingly difficult to manage hard copies of all its documents, particularly engineering drawings. It became cumbersome to maintain a hard copy of an engineering drawing as the control copy. Oftentimes, drawings were not re-filed after use, which made it time consuming to relocate. Monitoring changes employees made in drawings that could cause manufacturing errors had become costly. Moreover, as the drawings aged, they became damaged and sometimes unreadable.
"The decision to go with Adept over other document solutions came down to wanting a proven system that is easy to implement and use, as well as our confidence in Synergis to provide support when needed," said Joseph Orban, vice president of Engineering, Biach Industries. "Once the decision was made, attending the Adept Administration Class was very valuable. It gave us the tools to implement Adept and to train others."
"All of our customers are working on projects that are critical to the success of their business. With the wealth of professional expertise that goes into creating a design, the return on investment in a document management system is easy to justify," said Scott Lamond, director of Business Development at Synergis Software.
The award-winning Synergis Adept software is an engineering document management solution that supports multiple CAD platforms, including SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, and ARCHIBUS as well as related engineering documents created with Microsoft Office applications.
Adept facilitates collaboration between departments and remote design teams, ensuring access to the latest revision and streamlining engineering change processes. Its built-in Viewer displays, prints and redlines more than 300 file formats, including SolidWorks, Autodesk 2D/3D, Microsoft Office and raster files.
