12. The Need to Increase Productivity
Productivity
is very low
.
.
.
But,
Design time
is so short
Require many empower
Improvement of
engineers and
foundation design work designer
is a pressing need !!low design quality
Burden of design cost through tight
Client’s require design completion
on or before time (Time is Cost)
competition bid
Delay design schedule
Increase project cost
The engineering companies are finding
about increase productivity
The answer is automation

13. 3. How to Automation ?

14. What is Automation ?
What is foundation design automation ?
Process that emulates an engineer’s
foundation design work
from planning to construction seamlessly

15. How to Automation ?
How to Automation ?
»
Understanding the current foundation work
process going from planning to construction
drawing
»
Use tools that closely adhere to the work process
components as seamlessly as possible
»
Automate every phase of the foundation work

16. Simplifying of Foundation Design Work
The more we automate the foundation design work process,
the more we can gain in productivity.
