Case Study: Sjölins Smide achieves faster, more efficient steel project delivery with Trimble

Sjölins Smide leveraging the power of Tekla Structures and Trimble Connect in the Multi Arena project

Sjölins Smide, a 140-year-old steel and smithery company, took on the complex Multi Arena project in Sandviken, Sweden, and needed a faster way to design, coordinate, and produce large steel structures as the job expanded from 150 tons to twice that amount. Using Trimble’s Tekla Structures and Trimble Connect, the team had to manage complex joints, steel-to-concrete tolerances, and a growing volume of drawings while keeping production and assembly on schedule.

Trimble helped Sjölins Smide streamline the project with 3D modeling, model sharing, AI-assisted Smart Create, and custom Tekla plugins for cutting lists and fabrication data. The result was a more efficient workflow, smoother assembly, better logistics planning, and fewer assembly drawings, with Smart Create estimated to save up to 30% of drawing and view-change time.
