IDAT GmbH software

IDAT-ERP covers the special requirements of the precast concrete industry and can easily be configured.

The software CCAD is one of the world market leading programs for 3-dimensional design of precast concrete parts. The complete functional range, the high level of automation and the easy handling – these are the key benefits for our users to get a cost-optimized design process with the best quality results. Nearly every CAD designer in the world works with AutoCAD. Compared to other programs this reduces the effort of training, raises the user acceptance and affects the data exchange with other people and departments positively because data exchange must be mostly done via AutoCAD formats DWG or DXF. These data could be used directly by CCAD. There is no need to emulate data or redraw in the worst case. Stay close to the market standards and don´t make yourself a slave of other software solutions.

IDAT Revit Precast is an efficient tool developed on and for the world’s leading BIM platform Autodesk® Revit. Extend the functionality of Autodesk® Revit, increase the BIM level and optimize precast concrete design and production! IDAT Revit Precast offers professional planning, a wide range of automation options, tools for e.g. columns and beams, vertical wall connections or assemblies and, last but not least, extensive functions for editing and generating welding mats for plant control. The IDAT Family Extender or IDAT Explode command provides unique, never before available tools for creating, using and automating Revit families and editing your drawings. IDAT Revit Precast speeds up the input of reinforcements and fixtures many times over.

Precast concrete detailing on the state of the art platform Revit – full BIM integration for trend setting design. Today’s construction design is more and more realized by following the BIM method. Often BIM is a precondition for the participation on large scale projects and strictly mandated by the constructor. If the precast manufacturer hasn’t established the BIM method he will in the worst case not be considered for tender invitations.

In addition to our CAD program, IDAT also offers production planning programs. These programs round out the range of products we offer, allowing you to map end-to-end, integrated planning from the point where the data is received from the customer to the production of the precast unit all using the IDAT software. These programs work with the machine data generated by the CAD program and are therefore fully compatible with modern production technology and central computer systems. AutoCAD is not required to run these programs. This can be done independently of CAD on a separate PC.

In addition to many interfaces to technical departments at a concrete precasting plant, modern CAD software must also offer interfaces to the business and administrative units. Quantities for tasks such as the preparation of cost estimates, purchase orders or invoicing data for customer orders can be generated more quickly, more accurately and more reliably by a computer program than by hand. And computers don’t make spelling mistakes!

Machine data for controlling modern production equipment or circulation plants managed by central computers can be generated directly from the CAD program. This data is generated in Unitechnik or PXML format by default. These formats are supported by most modern production machines and have established themselves as the quasi unofficial standard for this area of the data interface.
