Canam Group

AceCad Software is delighted to announce that Canam Group has signed a Corporate Agreement to purchase and implement StruM.I.S across their structural and bridge sites. This is one of the most recent investments in AceCad’s solutions by leading international steel companies in the EPC, Fabrication and Construction sectors.

Canam Group is a leading provider of design and fabrication of construction products, and develops innovative and pioneering solutions by focusing on customer satisfaction, manufacturing effectiveness and digital revolution.

A Detailed Review

Before deciding on how to proceed to more efficiently manage their fabrication and production, Canam Group embarked on a comprehensive and detailed six month review of all available steel fabrication and production software/vendors and assessed offerings against their own in house systems.

This review, which also included a full pilot project, was conducted by a Committee led by two Canam Group Vice Presidents, a General Manager and also included many of Canam Group’s 85 man strong IT team.

The Objective

The objective of the Canam Group’s committee was to evaluate the viability of replacing or upgrading their legacy systems with the best solution to provide an integrated BIM compliant solution across all their structural and bridge facilities to facilitate superior communication and multi-site fabrication management. An important additional aspect that the Committee considered was the ability to integrate with four primary systems – Oracle, Tekla Structures, SDS/2 and various incumbent CNC machines.

comprehensive and feature rich solution

available.’

Further to Canam Group’s substantial research of all the available choices on the market to deliver a dedicated, multi-site, integrated steel management and production information system, Canam Group selected StruM.I.S to be implemented into their sites. Jean Thibodeau, Senior Vice-President InteliBuild and Information Systems at Canam Group commented; “Following a comprehensive 6 month evaluation of the various steel fabrication management solutions available, we decided StruM.I.S was the best solution for Canam Group due to a number of key factors. StruM.I.S was by far the most comprehensive and feature rich solution available, enabling us to replace multiple legacy systems. Utilizing the StruM.I.S Integration Platform and the latest .NET and SQL technology ensured we can integrate StruM.I.S with our existing Oracle ERP system, our engineering and detailing software, as well as bar-coding, tablet and CNC equipment. StruM.I.S will save valuable time handling and managing key operational data across our multiple fabrications facilities.”

Regional Manager (Sales) for AceCad Software Inc, Simon Slater, commented, “We are extremely proud that the Canam Group team has elected to implement StruM.I.S across their sites; this is a significant addition to our prestigious global clientele and we are pleased to continue our outstanding working relations with them”. AceCad Software’s Technical Director, Simon Inman, commented, “We are delighted to welcome Canam Group and are looking forward to working with them and indeed we have already started implementing StruM.I.S.”
