CAD Wednesday - Tired of searching for critical drawings that are "somewhere" in the system? For one regional manufacturer, a disorganized drawing system introduced safety hazards and forced expensive field verifications for every new project.

EMDS steps in to:

1. Verify and organize all critical files.

2. Establish standard operating procedures for file control.

3. Implement a system to streamline modification of AutoCAD files.

The result? Maintenance and contractors now have a "single source of truth," allowing them to work faster and safer.
