Exploiting our long experience with leading hollow metal door manufacturers, Digital Resources Inc. has created a system which dramatically simplifies their engineering and manufacturing functions.

A complete system handles all aspects of hollow metal door manufacturing, including: Estimating; generation of Submittal Drawings, proposal tracking; Order Entry, Detail Drawings of door, frame, borrowed light and hardware takeoffs; Engineering, Sheet Metal details, Cutting Schedules, Shop Release, Job Tracking; Job Costing; and shiping, installation and maintenance.  Integration with powerful, off-the-shelf accounting, MRP and scheduling programs will round out a complete business solution.

PARAMETRIC DESIGN
The engineering package parametrically creates all of the drawings and NC programs for a variety of skins, jambs and mullions used in creating hollow metal doors, frames and borrowed lights.

INSTANT DRAWINGS / PROGRAMS
Taking data from a computerized "take off" form fashioned after industry standards, the system creates dimensioned flat layouts, side views, intermediate formed views (such as the commonly required "hat section), and full 3-D models, if so desired. All drawings are created instantly, requiring no human input. Drawings may be fully detailed forms consistent with existing shop drawings.

NC programs are also generated automatically using DRI's industry leading CAM programs for fabrication machines, includings Punch press, Laser, Plasma, Waterjet and NC brake.

COST EFFECTIVE
Unlike parametric solutions based on systems costing tens of thousands of dollars a seat, our solution runs independently of CAD, requiring a seat only for certain sets of "specials". In such cases, AutoCAD may be used as the engineering and programming environment.

AN OPEN SYSTEM
The system is driven by industry-standard enterprise   data base technology, so the data and rules can be shared in all functions. New CAD systems or other computer tools can be exploited as they become available. 

Because of this open, standardized approach, the customer is not locked into a specific CAD system. Data can be accessed and maipulated by other applications as well.
