Key Features
- Manage the workload per production line and track the efficiency for every deliverable job on the production line. This allows you to detect bottlenecks and improve your processes.
- Easily prioritise urgent projects (simply with a mouse click) by rearranging the distribution of batches over the production lines
- By presenting a filtered digital just-in-time production file, the production team can ensure a quality-assured file relevant only for their workstation
- By zooming, searching, measuring, etc., teams can easily examine, query and fulfil the given task. This increases their output and creates an efficient paperless work environment.
- The solution provides direct feedback from your factory, so operations can be analysed, improved and backed up with statistics.
- Every solution can be tailor-made for your manufacturing processes and needs.
End result
The data (or a selection of it) that you develop with hsbcad PRODUCTION CONTROLLER can be exported to:
- Provide ‘Just-in-time’ CNC data to relevant stations in the factory
- Return quality assured feedback to operations manager

Key Features
- All Standard beams: Rafters, Plates, Hip-/Valley rafter, Ridge, Post, Brace, etc.
- Every beam has associated intelligent information which can easily be used for a direct bill of materials, produce automatic shop drawings and send to CNC interfaces.
- Add intelligence to every part of the construction and export to a required format.
- Contains a library with:
- Beam types: ridge, valley, hip, rafter, …
- Junctions: dovetail, tenon, lap joints, …
- You can expand your library with your own catalogue of custom beams, materials, connections and tools.
- Use dynamic commands such as: split-, join-, stretch-, cut- beams, …
- Roof calculation based on construction information on plans or even the locations of the roof tiles.
- Detects collisions already in the design process.
- Intelligent position numbering: keeps the established position numbers even if the construction has changed, and also avoids overlapping of numbers.
- Basic texture can also be added to the visualised result.
End result
The data (or a selection of it) that you develop with hsbcad POST & BEAM can be exported to:
- A reporting engine such as: Excel, Access, Jasper, PDF, …
- CNC information (Hundegger, Weinman, …)
- Shop drawings in a customisable manufacturing format
