Workflow Automation

Streamlining Engineering Processes from Design to Delivery

At CodeDrafts, we specialize in automating repetitive, rule-based workflows that often slow down engineering teams. From document tracking to model updates, our automation solutions are tailored to your tools, processes, and team structure—enabling faster turnaround, fewer errors, and greater control.

Key Capabilities:

Model Change Notifications

  • Track changes in 3D models and automatically notify discipline leads of affected areas or components.
  • Maintain logs of revisions and flag deviations from design rules.

Batch Drawing Updates

  • Auto-generate or update multiple drawings (GA, isometrics, spool sheets) using standardized templates.
  • Implement auto-population of title blocks, tags, and revisions from a centralized database.

Document Lifecycle Automation

  • Automatically route engineering documents (e.g. layouts, specs, P&IDs) through predefined review, approval, and revision cycles.
  • Integrate with document control systems to ensure version consistency and audit trails.

Progress & Deliverable Dashboards

  • Real-time dashboards tracking engineering progress, deliverable status, and workload distribution.
  • Custom workflows for submission gates, milestone tracking, and data validation.

Automated Engineering Calculations

  • Set up smart calculation sheets or scripts to automatically validate equipment sizing, material selection, and line class rules.

Cross-System Integration

  • Sync data between platforms like AutoCAD Plant 3D, AVEVA E3D, Excel, and in-house databases to eliminate double-entry and ensure consistency.

Benefits:

Efficiency: Reduce time spent on repetitive manual tasks by up to 70%.

Accuracy: Minimize errors with rule-based validations and consistent data handling.

Transparency: Increase visibility across teams and disciplines with live dashboards.

Scalability: Easily adapt automations as your projects or teams grow.
