OILQUICK BOOSTS EFFICIENCY AND DATA QUALITY WITH SOVELIA VAULT AND SOVELIA INVENTOR
Challenges
-
Manual steps in metadata input and file creation increased the risk of errors and slowed down design workflows.
-
Previous middle-layer ERP integration tool was unreliable, causing data sync issues, downtime, and support challenges.
-
Rapid access to accurate data was essential for engineer-to-order projects with tight deadlines.
-
Engineers were spending time on repetitive admin tasks rather than actual design work.
-
Legacy system made it difficult to scale workflows or prepare for future PLM needs.
-
Needed to transition systems during Autodesk licence renewal without disrupting ongoing work.
Solutions
-
Sovelia Vault automated secondary file creation (PDF, STEP, DXF, SAT) and enabled reliable ERP integration with Monitor ERP.
-
Sovelia Inventor simplified and standardised metadata input via a custom property card.
-
Symetri provided end-to-end support across Autodesk licensing, Sovelia rollout, and Altair simulation migration.
-
Critical ERP integration functionality was custom-developed and delivered on time by Symetri.
-
Ongoing collaboration with Symetri to explore Sovelia Configurator and Sovelia Core PLM for future growth.
Benefits
-
Design workflows are faster and more accurate thanks to automated file handling and clean data entry.
-
Manual work is reduced without automation, several extra full-time resources would be needed.
-
Engineers are free to focus on solving technical challenges rather than admin tasks.
-
ERP data transfer is now robust, reducing downtime and enabling faster engineer-to-order turnaround.
-
Implementation met tight deadlines with zero disruption to daily operations.
-
Strong support and proactive guidance from Symetri provided confidence and long-term value.
-
Scalable platform in place to support future product configuration and PLM initiatives.
