Success Story
SMI s.p.a., headquartered in Bergamo, Italy, specializes in manufacturing blow molding machines for PET bottles, as well as fillers, automated packaging machines, palletizers, and full bottling production lines. Their primary difficulties revolved around the need for effective visual communication for a product still in the design and production stages, along with a crucial component essential for the subsequent stages of development and market introduction.
SMI s.p.a. had set project objectives centered on creating 3D video sequences using computer graphics to illustrate the concept of the "Smart Factory" (Industry 4.0) and its implementation in their bottling and packaging lines. They needed to address substantial organizational and logistical challenges, as well as cost considerations, while avoiding the need to transport their bulky and outdated machines and product prototypes to events around the world.
SMI s.p.s started with their strategic planning of the "Smart Factory" integrated with all digital and technological resources such as robotics and machines, 3D simulation (to optimise integrated communication processes between machines), factory information, supervision, internet, (multidirectional communication between products and production processes), the safety of the system, cloud, and additive manufacturing. The team at SMI s.p.s could see the benefit of utilising Autodesk 3ds Max to overcome the company challenges.
The business achieved a significant advancement by gaining the capacity to effectively display a meticulously crafted 3D video sequence. This captivating visual presentation served the vital purpose of elucidating the intricate concept of a "Smart Factory," a pivotal element within the Industry 4.0 paradigm, as it seamlessly applied to the intricate processes of a state-of-the-art bottling and packaging production line. This enhanced ability not only facilitated the communication of complex ideas but also enabled the company to exemplify their commitment to innovation, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology.
By harnessing Autodesk's software, including 3ds Max and 3ds Max Interactive, the company has empowered itself to unveil the essential features of 3D video representation, with a particular emphasis on elucidating concealed elements that conventional filming techniques simply cannot capture.

PROMA increases design management efficiency with Autodesk Construction Cloud
With over 25 years of expertise, PROMA is a leading design and construction company in the Slovak architectural and design landscape. In 2018, they established the VDC Studio (Virtual Design and Construction Studio) to spearhead digitalization efforts in construction, focusing on BIM (Building Information Modelling) and other cutting-edge technologies.PROMA encountered intricate challenges in fostering collaboration among its three branches, specifically in the intricate realm of central Autodesk Revit files. The imperative for seamless cooperation on sizable files, coupled with intermittent collaboration requirements involving specialized personnel dispersed across various branches, propelled the necessity for a comprehensive solution. The intricacies of managing substantial design data across multiple locations necessitated a robust strategy to ensure optimal efficiency and precision in their engineering workflows.
Construction of the Supreme Audit Office Headquarters using Autodesk Software - PORR a.s.
The facility is multifunctional with a predominant administrative function. The building is divided into two wings labeled as H and G within a broader area. The wings are connected by an underground floor (1.PP) and a connecting "neck" at levels 4 to 6.Structurally, it is a load-bearing monolith, founded deeply (wing H) and partially on a slab (wing G). The substructure consists of a white tub and the construction pit was secured by anchored retaining walls. The building has a two-winged (H) or three-winged (G) combined load-bearing scheme. The superstructure consists of load-bearing perimeter walls complemented by internal columns, pillars with capitals, and slab beams. The unique feature is the connecting structure (the so-called "neck"), consisting of glued laminated timber trusses.
Sampol: Generating Clean Energy with Integrated Projects in the Cloud
Innovation and digitalization have been key in the business evolution of SAMPOL, a Spanish company that has been competitive for nine decades, able to adapt and anticipate technological advances and trends in applied engineering projects.Betting on an inclusive digitalization: the cloud and BIM platformsFrom the international expansion initiated in the 2000s, SAMPOL saw the need to transform its processes to take advantage of the benefits of the internet and specialized programs in the management of project documentation and communication.Through the adoption of the Cloud as a repository of information and documentation, it was possible to assume a management focused on quality and not on routine and unproductive activities, in addition to promoting business growth thanks to the integration of all international delegations and production plants under the same environment, where distances or time differences do not matter to stay connected in real time.To achieve this new approach, an implementation plan developed by the consulting and training company GRAITEC, Autodesk® Platinum Partner, was established, which included training on specific software, workflows and associated processes. Among the main areas are the implementation of a Common Data Environment, the standardization of documentation, compliance with ISO 19650 and the collection of data to evaluate the impact of implementation.
