Texas Power (CAT)

A newly built plant for the assembly of industrial engines was handed over with  the majority of its drawings provided in a cardboard box of DVDs. The assembly  line is over a quarter of a mile long and valuable time was being lost by  maintenance staff both getting to and trying to find the correct drawing files.

To address this Trix Organizer was installed and set up so that staff could  simply drill down a trees structure based on stations and processes to identify  and open the drawings and manuals needed.

Each station has its own computer and  uses the Trix Organizer Web client. Maintenance staff redline drawings in Trix Organizer when changes are made and  this redline is used by CAD operators to check out and update the master CAD  files.
