DFMA(D)
DfMA(D) Design for Manufacture and Assembly / Disassembly.
Ardmac implements a DfMA(D) or ‘Design for Manufacture and Assembly/Disassembly’ strategy, wherever possible, to assist the on-site assembly and construction process. Generating detailed 3D models using specialist design software allows for the classification and quantification of materials directly from the model. Models can then be transferred digitally to manufacturing partners production software. Anything that is modelled is coded and trackable. Schedules of quantities and sizes (or any other properties) that are linked to model objects can be extracted with ease. This greatly reduces the amount of manual counting, minimises the risk of human error, and improves accuracy, impacting quality and cost control.
Products can be designed to LOD500 detail ahead of time for ease of manufacture and assembly of parts that form an overall solution. This has proven successful in designing, procuring, and fabricating systems and components off-site, reducing schedule, labour requirements, transport costs, and site waste, while creating a safer work environment. One example of where this off-site construction approach to data centre controlled environments has been successful is where we have provided hot and cold aisle (HAC) solutions to leading global brands internationally.
“By adopting Design for Manufacture and Assembly early, we deliver smarter, safer, and more efficient solutions. Collaborating with our customers allows us to reduce waste, minimise risk, and ensure consistent quality from design to delivery.”
