Challenge
Zeppelin Power Systems is now working with master modules which are always built the same way and in which all the components are merged. Feeko Harders (Construction Manager for Zeppelin Power Systems) also views this as a management tool:
"SOLIDWORKS and Smap3D Plant Design models are merged in the master structure and we can see the exact status of the different assemblies and where collisions occur. Of course, once in a while a pipeline is askew in the space, but then we have even better insight about what needs to be done. The project completion time and the delivery time has been significantly reduced through the networking of projects and the parallel work of several colleagues at the same time."
