CDS & CADworks Exhibit new BIM Solution at AHR 2012
CDS and CADworks Online Catalog BIM Solution at AHR Expo, Chicago, Booth #2951
San Jose, CA, January 23, 2012 - CDS (Catalog Data Solutions) today announced the public presentation of the joint CDS and CADworks Online Catalog BIM Solution at the AHR Expo in Chicago, January 23-25, Booth #2951.
“The Manufacturing industry has led the AEC industry in adoption of online 3D CAD, but due to the rapid adoption of BIM (Building Information Modeling), AEC is quickly catching up. AEC can now take advantage of the same online marketing technology and techniques already proven in the Manufacturing space,” said John Major, CEO, CDS. “For example, as buyers and engineers use the Internet to research products, locate suppliers, and to make purchasing decisions (often without ever talking to a sales person), manufacturers are building websites with searchable online catalogs, configurators, custom web applications and online content to ensure their products are considered and to influence research during the new buying process. On the booth this week we’ll be demonstrating the solution and several already live early adopter customers - including Bell and Gossett and StainlessDrains.com. These solutions enable user research, product selection, and downloadable BIM models, which get products ‘designed-in’ for later purchase”.
“CDS’s SaaS based tools enable suppliers to rapidly and inexpensively achieve a modern online marketing presence. CADworks skills are in AEC and BIM, especially in Revit based content and in intuitive content search. The partnership of CDS and CADworks enables and accelerates adoption in the AEC Industry,” said Christopher Di Iorio, CEO, CADworks. “The success of BIM is already evident. GSA, states, cities, and universities around the nation have already mandated BIM for all designs going forward. All major general contractors mandate BIM in coordination processes and it is in wide use today. Bottom line, the AEC industry is using BIM to better design projects through analysis of more design scenarios (e.g. energy analysis), better design collaboration and shorter coordination time in the field. To enable this, BIM content lives from the initial design phase right through to and including the facility management phase. So the key to BIM success is the accuracy, intelligence and ease of finding/using content – and that is CADworks’ specialty.”
