A Hexagon Case Study
Sihy Oy, a pipe fabrication company based in Finland, faced the challenge of a time-consuming and error-prone paper-based workflow for translating 3D pipe models into fabricated spools. They wanted to automate data transfer from the design model directly to their workshop machines and internal planning systems. To achieve this, they turned to Hexagon and implemented its Intergraph Spoolgen® software.
Hexagon's Spoolgen solution automated the processing of electronic PCF data files, generating instructions for cutting and bending machines and feeding Sihy's internal planning systems. This data-centric workflow eliminated manual data entry and shop floor programming. The implementation saved up to 50% of work planning effort, greatly reduced errors, and enabled Sihy to scale production easily, allowing management to focus on business growth.
