Product Platform for Automatic Configuration of Modular Strongrooms

Abstract

Modular strongrooms (MSR) consist of industrially made elements, which are assembled at the place of use. They are designed on individual customer’s requests. The customer chooses the resistance grade according to EN 1143-1 standard and provides dimensions of the available space for requested product to be fit in. Configuration of MSR is realized by combining standard modules which are, for the selected resistance grade, repeated in each new project, and differ only by their number and dimensions. This paper presents product platform developed for automatic MSR configuration, based on parametric and variable design, which provides requested configuration of the product, eliminates possible errors in design process, provides requested product quality level, decreases design and manufacturing costs, shortens design time and provides faster response to customer’s requests. The proposed concept is tested and confirmed on numerous examples of realized projects.
