Setting the scene


Founded in 1959 in Oakville, Ontario, as Canadian Vac-Hyd Processing Ltd, VAC AERO International Inc. has established itself as a world leader in heat treatment, brazing and vacuum furnace manufacturing. With over 200 employees spread across four factories, the company is experiencing significant growth and was looking to equip itself better to manage and optimize its production spaces.


They contacted pointSpace to provide detailed and up-to-date information about their factory in Dorval for their expansion and management objectives. 

Proposed solutions

  • Full-color, high-resolution 3D scan 
  • 2D drawings of the building and its production floor, including the footprint of all machinery and equipment. 
  • AutoCAD and PDF format. 
  • 3D plans as built from space: architecture, structure and ground machinery. 
  • Revit and Inventor formats.

Gains

This project allowed our clients to:
• Simulate different factory layouts for 5S initiatives and production line optimization
• Improve overall management of the plant and its components
• Reuse plans for various purposes, such as potential expansion projects
