In the rapidly changing world of steel construction, digitization of the steel production process is no longer an option, but a pure necessity. Steel construction companies are faced with the challenge of staying competitive, reducing costs and increasing productivity. A crucial step in this direction is the digitization of the workshop, using advanced technologies to improve production processes and promote efficiency. During the TechniShow, ConstruSteel, an innovative software company active at home and abroad with a broad steel construction software offering, will take visitors into the digital workplace of the future.

A necessary step
Workplace digitization has revolutionized several industries in recent years, and steel construction is no exception. The goal is to modernize traditional manufacturing processes and take advantage of technologies to improve overall business performance. This involves using digital tools such as computers, tablets and smartphones for tasks such as design, planning, tracking and overall control of the steel production process.

The workplace goes digital
The use of tablets and smartphones is taken for granted in everyday life. However, in the workplace of steel and metal construction companies, the use of tablets and smartphones in primary work is often still unknown. Practical reasons and conservative working methods among executive staff can complicate the introduction of tablets. However, ConstruSteel's 'Digital Workshop' software solution for the use of smartphones and tablets in the workshop is quickly embraced within the current production process. ConstruSteel has very deliberately kept the design simple so that all employees, regardless of their technical skills, can quickly master the new way of working.

A significant cost reduction
In many companies, thousands of dollars are spent annually on printing drawings and lists, which are then scattered throughout the workshop. By digitizing, this information is exchanged between the office and workshop on a tablet or smartphone, making printing a thing of the past. Digital drawings and work instructions in the factory are always up to date, preventing rework due to incorrect or outdated information. Digital drawings are also clearer than paper drawings thanks to the ability to zoom in and out, reducing errors and eliminating unnecessary consultation. Smart software controls and reads tablets and smartphones, providing a good understanding of what is actually happening in the plant and how processes can be optimized. Finally, the use of technology in the workplace makes for attractive employers, as younger generations are generally eager to integrate technology into their operations. At a time of labor market shortages, this can greatly benefit you as an employer.

A future-proof production process with ConstruSteel
The digitization of the workshop using ConstruSteel's software solutions opens new doors for steel construction companies. It enables them to remain competitive in a rapidly changing market, where speed, precision and cost control are crucial. By using advanced software solutions, steel construction companies can not only improve efficiency, but also pave the way for innovation and sustainable growth in the future.
