Customer stories

CMbE runs Canvas Envision with Aras and Manufacturing Process Planning tightly integrated. The manufacturing process plan drives automatic generation of governed work instructions in Envision Creator, flowing directly into the assembly line. Instead of recreating documentation, authors validate and approve content that’s already current with engineering. The result on the line is fewer errors, faster builds, and lower scrap, with engineering changes incorporated in minutes instead of waiting for the next document update cycle.

OTIS replaced 30 pages of static 2D documentation with 7 minutes of interactive 3D animations, delivered to workers at the point of execution. The animations are used during the work, in context, at the step the worker is on. New hires reach competency faster, and experienced workers see only what’s different about this particular setup. Training and execution become the same thing.

Zipline builds production documentation for autonomous delivery drones in Envision Creator. Capturing CAD screenshots and drawings manually for a single drone configuration is days of work. With Envision Creator, Zipline authors directly from 3D CAD data. When a new configuration arrives, they duplicate the instruction set, update the CAD, and cascade those changes into the next document set in minutes. Every configuration covered, always current.

A customer running an established video-based step-by-step training platform wanted to bring their entire library of structured video content forward into Canvas Envision. The team used the Envision Create SDK to migrate the content faithfully. Structure, metadata, and the investment behind the original library came forward intact, and the team had modern interactive instructions the moment migration completed.
