LANTEK Launches Its New SteelWork Software To Meet The Needs Of
The Structural Steel Market
Lantek Systems, worldwide leader in the development and marketing of
CADCAM and ERP software for the sheet metal and structural steel
sectors, launched its new Lantek SteelWork Solution at the recent
sheet metalworking technology exhibition, EuroBLECH 2010. The new
software has been designed to help companies manage their production
processes when designing and completing structural steel, sheet
metal, and construction projects.
The new Lantek SteelWork System is the latest step in the company’s
ambition to bring its 20 years of expertise to a market which
generates 2 billion Euros annually in Europe alone, processing 200
million tonnes of steel.
Alberto Martínez, Lantek SMS Manager, says, “The structural steel
sector is undergoing an evolutionary phase, with companies having to
adhere to national and European regulations which control
prefabricated structures, covering items such as stress
calculations, and dimensions. The need to integrate sophisticated 3D
design programs with automated manufacture, and the control of
production processes, is a priority for companies in the market. Our
research and development team produced the modular Lantek SteelWork
System to specifically address these demands. We anticipate that
this will be an important new market for Lantek as, despite the
difficult economic challenges facing the construction sector, the
short to medium term prospects for structural steel projects is
good.”
The capabilities of the software include 2D and 3D design, CNC
programming of profiles, integration with third party structural
design software, and ERP capabilities to control costs and
production and ensure the best possible return on investment.
Lantek SteelWork is integrated with the company’s Flex3d SteelWork
System. This enables the 3D CAD/CAM design and cutting of standard
profiles including I, U, L, T, H, round and square sections.
Automatic and semi-automatic 3D nesting maximizes material
utilization while optimization of the profile and the CNC code,
coupled with collision avoidance technology, ensures safe and
efficient cutting operations on a range of machinery, including
sawing, drilling, punching, tapping, marking, oxycut, and plasma
equipment.
Linking with Lantek Expert CAD/CAM, Lantek SteelWork can design nest
and CNC program 2D sheet metal profiles. It includes a full range of
functionality such as automatic and manual nesting, lead-in contour
management, common line cutting, toolpath transformation, CAD
interfaces and layer management, offering maximum flexibility.
The integration of the new software with Tekla Structures® BIM
software is the first step in the integration of a range of leading
3D structural design systems. Tekla Structures® is currently the
most advanced building information modelling system on the market,
and the integration enables the import of all the structural
components in a complete project. Lantek SteelWork’s ERP is then
able to manage operations, costs, and geometries in a web based
environment. Based on Lantek’s Integra ERP technology, this new
solution has been tailored for the structural steel industry and
facilitates process and cost control, and enables management from
any location via the Internet. It comprises the following
capabilities.
• Project Module. Lantek SteelWork allows the user to import the
complete Tekla Structures® model as a project including the tree
structure of components and manufacturing stages. Resources and
activities are associated with each element, ready for tracking the
progress of the project.
• The Production module keeps control of the loading on each
resource with automatic checking to ensure the validity of the
production plan. Actual costs are tracked and can be compared with
the estimate, ensuring the project goes smoothly.
• Budgeting tools within Lantek SteelWork allow users to visualize
hours, material and manufacturing costs across different levels of a
project, so that managers can get an accurate report of the current
status.
• Planning module: performance of individual resources can be
measured in the system using feedback from each project. The
information can be used to update the manufacturing plan either
manually or automatically based on the loading on each resource.
• The Purchasing module keeps track of the purchase orders raised
against each project, thereby monitoring expenditure and enabling
managers to review its current status against the plan.
• The Warehousing module monitors stock levels of material,
including sheet and profile sections. It provides dimensions for the
material and maintains traceability records, quality documentation
and stock value records.
• Sales and certification tools in the system provide partial
certification for each project, status management, invoicing and
payment configuration.
• The Lantek SteelWork dashboard provides reports for the complete
portfolio of projects. These can include an analysis of time, cost,
profit margins, comparisons between actual and budgeted costs, and
summaries of the status of production
Initially, the software will be available, as part of a phased plan
in Spain, Brazil, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and the
United States, followed by introduction to other markets through
Lantek’s global dealer network.
Alberto Martínez says, “Lantek SteelWork is unique in the way it
brings together design, manufacturing and production management. Its
ability to harmonize the complete process will enable companies to
operate more efficiently, deliver projects on time, control costs
and achieve improved profitability.”
