The drug was in development and GSK wanted to get the product to market as quickly as possible..
Other industries have been able to embrace new approaches and technologies to see continual year-on-year increases in labour productivity and other areas.As we move towards the future, construction firms will need to embrace construction automation and MMC, to create positive transformation in the industry.. Case study: DES for analysis of automated truss fabrication.
Recently, Bryden Wood has collaborated with Tata Steel and the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) on the FASTtruss project for automated design and fabrication of steel truss assemblies, for medium-to-large-span buildings.A truss is an assembly, typically made from timber or steel, which forms part of the structural frame of a building.The aim of this project was to produce an automated design tool for a structural building system comprised of a small number of truss assemblies, that could then be mass produced in an automated factory..
The truss system design is an automated, digital workflow which takes client requirements including geometrical constraints and preferred materials, and uses iterative parametric 3D modelling to develop individual truss designs.Structural optimisation and validation are included as part of this process to ensure that the truss meets the required specification.
Once complete, these 3D models become a suite of outputs which can drive further analysis of the wider system.
This includes detailed analysis of parts of the assembly process, such as robotic welding cells..Design to Value.
, I was immediately taken by the humility of the process.This project was the city’s response to the allocation of 20,000 migrants fleeing Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq to be housed.
This was a people problem with complex, strong and diverse views and issues to negotiate.Although they used some very advanced modelling techniques, this was done only to support and inform a big conversation.
