Our experience

1. We have designed projects that were used to produce more than 20 000 structural bearings, among which there are customized unique projects such as:

2. We have reduced the cost price of structural bearings by 15% on account of optimization of the structure of the structural bearing in accordance with the special technological characteristics of the producer factory of our client. Now we have a scope of optimization-assisted designs that according to the preliminary evaluation will reduce the cost price additionally by 5-10% (More through forecast can be provided after the analysis of your actual situation).

3. We have designed two catalogs of 300 and 150 structural bearings that had been used to produce more than 10 000 structural bearings. We have also developed special tools of automatic engineering of structural bearings for these operations

Uplift structural bearings:

shock uplift
permanent uplift (uplift force up to 1 750 kN)

Bearing with with vertical load of 100 000 kN
Shear Keys with horizontal load up to 25 000 kN
Guided-sliding structural bearings with an ability of vertical axis rotation

Projects of the typical structural bearings in 1-2 working days low price.(~4,5% reducing cost by using outsourcing designers with lower costprice)

• When your sales managers get projects fast, they can sell more.
• It is great offer when you need to design a lot of projects fast, and can't do it yourself in a short time.

Price and duration of separate projects:

Bearing catalog with website(~11,5 % additional reducing cost by using pre-designed bearings catalog (2500-1000 pieces))

The catalog with the quantity of products 2 500 - 10 000 will cover up to 95-98% of the volume of structural bearings in the range for vertical load from 1000 to 50 000 kN, for horizontal load from 10 to 25% of the vertical load, shifts up to 250mm, turning angle up to 0,015 radians

The unit price of one project of structural bearings from our catalog is up to 8 times cheaper than a separate project. Cost per project up to 75$.

Increase sales of structural bearings due to presentation of projects and their cost during one minute that will definitely promote the conversion to sales

Reduce the cost prices of technological preparation of production due to standardization of technical and technological solutions to 15%

Increase sales of structural bearings due to presentation of projects and their cost during 30 minutes that will definitely promote the conversion to sales (the analysis of your situation will
allow to give more exact data);

We offer to design a filter for the comfortable search in the catalog of 2500 - 10000 structural bearings that has special characteristics for a user: customer, contractor, design engineer of a bridge, sales manager. At the moment we are elaborating the design of a web site with such a tool. As a result the catalog will be accessible on the internet. It will take design engineers only a few minutes to receive projects of structural bearings, recommendations about their

Effect

Design automation (~9 % additional reducing cost by using automated desing procces)

Calculations:
Ready tools are set up to release separate projects of bearings. Now we are improving them to make mass calculations of bearings within the whole catalog or, for example, the calculation for the whole bridge, to streamline constructions for the technologies of production (e.g. the unification of spherical segments sizes, etc.)

Engineering:
Projects are fulfilled in Solidworks or in any other CAD program if necessary. In case there is a large number of bearings with the same construction and similar technical specifications we elaborate a program that with the help of CAD API designs models and drafts automatically or semiautomatically.

Current calculations conform to the Russian Federation standards (based on EN 1337). Now we are working on the supplement to calculations according to standards of the United States of America and European Union

The price and duration of automation design depends on technical specifications:

• Automation of design of:
  
  • calculations
    
  • modeling in CAD with api
    
  • drafting in CAD with api

• Automation of search for optimal solutions
  
  • optimization of cost price
    
  • optimization of a production duration

• Calculation of cost and duration of production
