Cogenco to halve design time with new CAD solution
Combined heat and power (CHP) generation specialist Cogenco is predicting a radical cut in design time from a total Autodesk solution comprising Autodesk Inventor and Inventor Professional, Productstream and AutoCAD Electrical.
Says Mark Exeter, Cogenco production and design manager: “We expect savings to be made through the ability to review designs and detect clashes on screen and also, using Productstream data management, to re-use whole assemblies of Cogenco’s modular designs,” he says.
In fact, he believes that the company says it expects to halve the time taken to develop its units from eight or 10 weeks to just four weeks – invaluable given the recent big increase in demand for its products.
After considering all available market options, Cogenco decided that Autodesk was the only vendor that could provide a complete package, including the electrical design tool for developing its control systems. It enables both 2D and 3D design and legacy AutoCAD data can be seamlessly migrated to the new system.
