IMPACT
• IMPACT provides the tools you need to implement a BIM workflow and manage every aspect of a
precast concrete business, from design, production right through to projects, all in 3D.
• Digital integration of design, production, and projects, are key to the success of your precast business.
• With IMPACT it’s possible to import data from a wide range of sources, including Tekla,
AutoCAD, BricsCAD, Revit, XML, PDFs, and Excel spreadsheets. Using common shared data with the
creation of company standards drives automation; consistency and continuous improvement through
the design, production and project workflows.
• IMPACT gives endless possibilities to generate reports to manage precast operations. It provide real
time information to all stake holders.

IMPACT: Production
• Precast businesses are a myriad of systems, processes and workflows. No two precast businesses are
the same. There isn’t a “one size fits all” solution. IMPACT Production is a standalone software that is
set up to suit your exact workflow.
• IMPACT Production provides the tools you need to implement a complete BIM workflow and manage
every aspect of your precast concrete production and projects.
• The software is highly customizable to the exact needs of your precast factory; offering you the ability
to 3D plan and keep better track of all types of precast elements; individual and multiple projects.
• An integrated system allows you to streamline production processes into one controlled BIM
dataset. Import data from a wide range of sources: Tekla, Revit,CAD, XMS (Excel spreadsheets),XML
and IFC.
• One can then do away with spreadsheets, reduce time trying to find and communicate information
and reduce errors from manually moving from one system to another. You can also use the BIM data
to automate your production machinery.

Transport Planning
IMPACT Transport Planner helps you plan your precast concrete deliveries. The module can help you utilise the
most from your deliveries not matter if you are loading walls, sandwich walls, double (twin) walls vertically loaded
on A-Frame type trailers or filigree (form/half slabs) and hollowcore slabs horizontally loaded on flat bed trailers.
In fact any type of precast element geometry can be planned for transportation. You can even mix and match
different element types from different factories onto the same vehicle.

Element Control
The Element Control helps you keep track of any precast concrete element at the click of a button.
The module is easily set up to suit your existing workflows; track your precast elements right through production
and onto projects all in real-time and from anywhere.
The Element Control includes a Quality Control module for pre and post production checks all managed with QR
codes. You can set element status for any stage including rejects/disorders; take photos; assign and issue
instructions using tablets and mobile phones with the IMPACT Go mobile application.
