The failure modes we fix.
We don't start from a blank page. 30 years of combined experience across Australia, New Zealand and beyond means we've catalogued how engineering data and workflows break — and built the fixes. Each capability below maps to a failure mode we've seen many times.
Seven fixes, in the order we apply them.
Read top to bottom: it's the path from raw, broken data to reliable automation. Two of these are ours end-to-end — the connective work and the deep CAD engineering that make the specialist tools usable on your geometry.
Move models between systems without losing geometry or intent. Native and neutral formats translated so the next tool in the chain can actually use them.
Defeature, reduce and lighten heavy models for simulation, visualisation and exchange — without breaking what matters downstream.
Repair broken geometry, resolve errors and bulk-load data so it imports cleanly and behaves predictably — at the scale of a real vault, not one part at a time.
The connective tissue between the specialist tools. We design the pipeline so data flows from one stage to the next without manual handoffs — the work that turns a pile of point solutions into a system.
One controlled source of truth: versioning, access, release state and revision history, configured to match how your team actually works — not how a vendor assumes it should.
Business Process Mapping
We sit with your teams and map how work really moves — product flows, staging, triggers and notifications. The goal is to support your existing practices, not replace them: we surface where work breaks down so we can reduce double-handling, responsibility ambiguity and avoidable error.
The map becomes the workflow logic — triggers, notifications and clear ownership wired into PDM.
Or it guides change initiatives we support on both the human and technical level.
Mapped per person, the friction points aggregate into something leadership rarely has: a true top-down view of how the company actually operates. That lets you apply deliberate correction to the biggest structural problems in order — governing instead of firefighting — rather than chasing whatever's loudest this week.
We modify and, where needed, fully rebuild CAD models and assemblies down to the sketch — restructuring feature trees and managing dependencies so models behave predictably. It's the groundwork automation depends on: you rebuild the models correctly first, then you automate them.
Configure-to-order, rules-driven design and automated drawings. It only runs reliably on robustly-built, parametric-ready models — which is exactly why remediation comes first.
It's not just CAD.
The same disorder shows up across every record an industrial business runs on. We start with your hardest data problem — usually CAD — and apply the same discipline to the rest.
CAD models, assemblies and drawings — the CADfix, Turboloader and PDM stack. The sharpest, most quantifiable proof of capability, which is why it's the entry wedge.
Contracts, compliance and certification records, handbooks, manuals, work instructions and specifications — handled via format migration, OCR/digitisation, metadata and taxonomy, and document management.
