Session: DM220-1

Title: CAD Data Controls the World: Key It in Once with Autodesk® Vault Professional

Instructors: Steve Hilvers with Allen Gager

Course Description: This class will describe how Unverferth Manufacturing Company, Inc., has used Autodesk Vault Professional to reduce data entry and allow the engineering department to control data within and outside its walls, in multiple plants and in real time. The class will also discuss how Unverferth intends to integrate the data with its MRP system. We will give a brief overview of the Unverferth server/hardware configuration, walk through the set-up and use of connected workgroups and replication and detail how data is stored in Autodesk Vault. We will demonstrate how an assembly is created in Autodesk Inventor®, vaulted, and assigned to an item, and how the data is controlled and released through a change order, exposing it to the MRP system for use by production, purchasing, sales, and service.
