Automated Custom Railing Design Tool with Floor Plan Integration for Manufacturing

The client currently faces complexities in accurately designing and estimating custom railing solutions, especially when starting designs from client-provided floor plans. The manual process leads to inefficiencies, errors in part calculations, and delays in providing instant estimates and visualizations, hindering their ability to scale efficiently.

A mid-sized manufacturer specializing in custom railing systems and safety barriers seeking to streamline product design, estimation, and order processes.

• Enable importing of detailed floor plans to facilitate precise and context-aware railing designs.
• Automate the calculation of glass panel dimensions and other components for both flat and angled railings.
• Support multiple product configurations, including framed glass panels and picket railings, within a unified platform.
• Provide instant cost estimates, detailed parts breakdowns, and generate 3D visualizations for client presentations.
• Streamline the design-to-order workflow to reduce turnaround time and improve accuracy.

• Floor plan import functionality with scale setting to enable design overlay.
• Automated calculation engine for glass panel dimensions, accommodating flat and angled configurations.
• Support for multiple product lines, including different railing types and materials.
• Generation of instant cost estimates and detailed parts lists.
• 3D visualization module for client review and presentation.
• Order and product tracking to manage the design lifecycle from concept to delivery.

• CAD or floor plan importing modules
• Product inventory and order management systems

• System must provide calculations and visualizations instantly with minimal latency.
• Scalability to support increasing product lines and user load.
• Data security for client floor plans and project data.
• High reliability and uptime, aiming for 99.9% availability.

The new system is expected to significantly reduce design and estimation times, enable accurate automation of complex calculations, and improve client engagement through instant visualizations. As a result, the client can expedite their design-to-order process, increase order accuracy, and support business growth with scalable digital workflows.
