Leading Utility Industry Equipment Manufacturer Selects RuleStream to Capture, Manage and Reuse Knowledge

RuleStream Corporation announced that TLT-Babcock, a manufacturer of custom axial and centrifugal fans and associated gas and ash handling equipment, has purchased RuleStream to extend its engineering process automation platform.

TLT-Babcock prides itself in delivering custom engineered solutions to meet unique customer requirements for utility fan and ash handling applications. Their SBE application will focus on automating both sales and engineering deliverables, including drawings, calculations, MBOMs and product costing, for their fan product lines.

"TLT-Babcock has a long, successful history with prior generation knowledge based engineering tools. We sought to build upon our success by taking advantage of recent technology advances in this area," said Glenn Huebscher, Engineering Manager at TLT-Babcock. "It’s critical for us to have a scalable solution with sophisticated rule authoring capabilities and strong CAD integrations; one that is easily used by both sales and engineering personnel. We chose RuleStream for its ability to deliver data and drawings driven from complex design rules, its transparency in the application and source of those rules, and the ability for users to see and customize any rule or result during the product design process."

"TLT-Babcock has long recognized the tremendous value gained by preserving and leveraging the know-how of their best engineers. Their selection of RuleStream further validates our technology leadership and the breadth of our vision," said Robert Nierman, CEO of RuleStream. "We’re proud to have TLT-Babcock added to our client list in the industrial equipment and machinery manufacturing space, where it is incumbent on companies to differentiate themselves by delivering rapid, custom engineered solutions of very high quality."
