Project Details

Miller Electric Company undertook a pilot project led by Adam S. Davis, Sr. Manager, Fabrication & Modularization, to partner with Augmenta. Using Augmenta’s automated Electrical Design Module, they completely automated the process of designing electrical raceway systems. Running Augmenta’s software on historical projects, Miller Electric Company compared the solutions generated and the time to create those designs with the output of their traditional design processes. They retroactively automated the design of electrical conduit for two medical facilities.

Capture

Objectives

Miller Electric Company is an American electrical engineering firm established in 1928 with an annual revenue of around $600M, 19 office locations, and more than a thousand employees. Miller Electric Company faces typical but urgent industry challenges associated with designing electrical raceway systems for large-scale commercial buildings:

  • A process that is highly complex and time consuming
  • A shortage of experienced design talent
  • Tight schedules and cost constraints

They are eager to find ways to make their design teams more efficient, using new processes and technologies.

Outcomes

“Augmenta provides a solution for aggressive project schedules, scaling teams and minimizing rework in the preconstruction phase of projects.”

BuiltWorlds Analysis

Per BuiltWorlds benchmarking data, model-based technologies have the ability to provide significant advantages in order to deliver the project on time and on budget. With the ability to collaborate across stakeholders clearly and efficiently, simulate project schedules, identify material needs, and coordinate labor, modeling solutions provide a competitive advantage in the planning & design phase as well as the execution phase. While legacy solutions like Trimble, Autodesk, Bentley, and others still dominate the market, there is a big opportunity for disruptive solutions who can provide optimal results for VDC and project teams.
