The process
BIM CONNECTION
Because Lantek Steelworks is integrated with Building Information Modeling systems, such as Tekla Structures, it drastically reduces programming time and eliminates rework. Structural components from the BIM Detail are imported and the progress of the project is automatically updated in the model.

PROJECT SETUP
Define chapters, phases, cost centers (materials, manufacturing, labor, outsourcing, etc.) and activities in a single way. Establish standard templates, classification systems, and work centers. Display the project portfolio in user-defined views with indicators of progress, cost, and weight to suite your project process and eliminate non-value added work. Define the resources that will become a part of the project: employees, subcontractors, work centers, materials, groups, etc. For each resource, you assign specific criteria such as: performance, weight, unit, and a capacity per time period.

BUDGET
Manage different versions of the budget and compare actual costs against the budget at any time. Calculate the weight and cost, by chapter, from measurements taken from the design and based on the performance of the cost centers. Define the budget items for each project and calculate the unit price by weight and the total of the budget items. Prepare a formatted budget available for delivery to the customer with technical detail by item and by chapter. Identify critical resources and their workload. Assign and display workload in varied formats such as daily, weekly, and monthly.

FINANCIAL PLANNING
Throughout the life of the project, it is critical you have the ability to forecast revenue, expenses and cash flow, to compare to the budget, and to make adjustments when needed. Track performance of individual resources, which are measured, and get feedback from each segment or chapter. This information may be used to update the manufacturing plan, either manually or automatically.

PURCHASES
Track the purchase orders against each project and monitor expenditures, with a comparative status to the original plan. Have purchasing requirements divided into sheets, beams, and consumables, generated from the measurements in the design. Specify materials prior to realizing the purchase. Identify and reserve materials in the warehouse from specific purchase requests. Have traceability management and quality control upon the receipt of goods.

PRODUCTION
Control each resource and monitor the validity of the production plan. Track and compare real costs to estimates. Every aspect of the project is accessible for timely reporting of production status and each of the parts and elements is organized by project phases and chapters. Decide which process to outsource, depending on if it is urgent, non-critical, or not-affordable. Have the state of manufacturing, whether it is on premises or outsourced.

STAGING
Control the items ready for shipment as well as incoming deliveries. Plan your deliveries and know the status of all your shipments. Get the weight of items so you can procure adequate transportation. Confirm the correct installation of sent items and keep your model updated.

CERTIFICATION
Register the certification of your project from already staged sets in the system. View the details of each certification by budget item, installed elements, and completion status and be prepared for complete status management and invoicing.

INVOICING
Generate invoices associated with the certificates issued. Have comprehensive monitoring of project billing.

REPORTING
Record all expenses that are directly applicable to each project. Easily enter the job reports, indicating, indicating the project and the activity that has occupied a resource during a specific time. See how this timing information and the associated costs are automatically charged to the actual cost of each project. Have job reports for each employee and the activities carried out. Connect from anywhere by using only a web browser.

CLOSING
Have indicators and reports in a configurable dashboard that allow you to compare the project budget to actual costs. These reports summarize by: chapters, budget items, cost centers. They evaluate the actual performance of the project by work centers.

CAD/CAM 3D
Lantek Flex3d Steelwork includes 2D and 3D design, CNC programming of profiles, integration with third party structural design software, and ERP capabilities to control costs and optimize return on investment. This module, when integrated with the Lantek Flex3d Steelwork system, facilitates the 3D CAD/CAM design and cutting of standard profiles including: I, U, L, H, T, and square or round tubes. The automatic and semi-automatic features of the 3D nesting software maximize the use of materials and optimize the CNC code with collision avoidance technology as well as safe and efficient cutting operations on a wide range of machinery such as: sawing, drilling, punching, tapping, marking, oxycut, and plasma equipment.

CAD/CAM 2D
Lantek Expert is a specially designed CAD/CAM solution that automates cutting machine programming such as: oxy-cut, plasma, laser, and water jet. It is the result of over 25 years of Lantek experience in close collaboration with machine tool manufacturers and users. Lantek Expert fully adapts to the technology of each different machine as well as the customers programming and management needs.
