Case Study: Heidelberg Materials achieves streamlined digital commissioning and document management with InEight

Heidelberg Materials North America Pioneering Digital Commissioning With Ineight

Heidelberg Materials North America, part of the global Heidelberg Materials group, undertook a $600+ million build of a new Mitchell, Indiana cement plant and faced the challenge of reliably managing and sharing an unprecedented 67,000 technical drawings among multiple contractors during the company’s first digital commissioning effort. To solve this, the team selected InEight and its InEight Document solution to store, control and exchange project documentation.

InEight implemented InEight Document (including Lots, Gallery and the Excel upload tool) to create equipment-specific repositories, enforce approval workflows and provide full revision and access histories, plus offline access for more than 9,000 field drawings. The result was faster, more transparent commissioning and a searchable handover into the plant’s OnBase system: Heidelberg Materials can now efficiently manage 67,000 drawings, generate daily readiness reports, reduce dispute risk by proving document access/versions, and preserve a long-term knowledge base for operations.
