Located in Hardenberg, Hutten Metaal Staalbouw has a long-standing history of crafting intricate steel building structures. Within their expansive 11,000 square meter production facility, they strive for daily excellence, prioritizing high quality, minimal cost overruns, and eliminating redundant efforts. In their quest to enhance production efficiency, Hutten Metaal Staalbouw has been leveraging ConstruSteel’s solutions since 2008. The integration of ConstruSteel’s Advanced Scribing for Tekla solution has yielded substantial enhancements in the production process. Given their strong focus on steel construction, ConstruSteel seamlessly aligns with the operations of this Hardenberg-based steel construction company.
As their production continues to grow, the steel construction company is actively seeking intelligent methods to enhance efficiency. “Manual sign-offs, inspections, and repair work were causing delays in the process. Now, the error rate has significantly decreased,” remarked Zijlstra. Utilizing Advanced Scribing for Tekla, they can provide adaptable scribing instructions during the engineering phase, which can be seamlessly integrated into the scribing machine’s operations. “Even if a dimension line is accidentally omitted during the engineering phase, the assembler can simply proceed without disruption. This saves a substantial amount of time.”
Hutten Metaal Staalbouw is pleased with ConstruSteel’s solutions. “Initially, some colleagues were a bit hesitant because our existing methods were working well for us. However, we’ve revisited our approach and are currently fine-tuning our processes. I anticipate incorporating more and more of ConstruSteel into our operations. They speak our industry’s language, comprehend steel construction intricacies, and keep evolving. This ensures that we have software that will evolve along with us in the future,” concludes Zijlstra.
