Product Details
Software Integration (EKS Auto-Façade™)
EKS Auto-Façade™ provides a direct digital link between design intent and field execution. The platform translates architectural drawings into build-ready data, producing 3-D mapping, automatic bills of materials, and installation guidance with unmatched precision.
Key Capabilities:
- Optimization: Auto-Façade™ automatically generates a full bill of materials—sizes, quantities, and colors—and feeds it into optimization software. Projects that once required days of manual setup can now be optimized in hours, with improved accuracy and reduced waste.
- Estimating: By outputting exact cladding sizes and colors, Auto-Façade™ streamlines estimation. Material, fastener, clip, and sub-girt quantities can be derived directly, giving estimators immediate, data-driven cost visibility.
- Fastener Placement: For materials with discrete fastening patterns (e.g., GFRC), the system auto-places fasteners based on engineering inputs—saving design time and highlighting potential installation issues before they occur.
- Panel Sketches: Auto-Façade™ automatically produces panel drawings with dimensions, fastening layouts, quantity information, and title blocks. Designers can view each panel from the front or back, ensuring fabrication clarity.
- Change Management: Because revisions can be regenerated in minutes, change requests no longer stall projects. Rapid re-processing minimizes downtime and keeps production aligned with evolving designs.
- Accuracy & Speed: The system delivers precision within ±2 mm—far beyond manual drawing workflows. By automating repetitive shop-drawing tasks, Auto-Façade™ compresses timelines and improves coordination between design and fabrication teams.
- CNC Machine Interface: Auto-Façade™ exports directly to CNC platforms, eliminating duplicate drafting and manual data entry. Proven integration with Maestro CNC and GFRC systems (Fiber-C and OKO Skin) ensures seamless panel fabrication.
