Drago Cmuk (CADCAM): Our platform brings digital continuity to the manufacturing process

Drago Cmuk, the business director of CADCAM Group, presented their project of an integral platform for Industry 4.0 called Overdrive, funded by EU resources, at the Lider conference on the 4th industrial revolution.

As Cmuk explained, this is a platform that would allow the manufacturing industry to accurately assess the time when a product will be produced and at what stage of production it currently is. He illustrated the project’s idea using the example of Uber, which was among the first to present a platform where users know at any moment where their taxi is located. The question arose whether such a platform exists for manufacturing, for the industry.

– It exists, and we are working on its development and implementation – emphasized Cmuk.

It is essential that digital information about the product’s stage has continuity, which is difficult to achieve, and this is precisely the solution CADCAM aims to bring with its project. Overdrive, therefore, attempts to solve digital continuity in the product development phase. Cmuk pointed out that today it is necessary to talk about connected data that must be in one place.

Collaboration with Rimac

With about 60 experienced engineers, CADCAM has been operating in the Adriatic region for 30 years and has over 300 clients. One of their clients is Rimac Automobili.

– We have been collaborating with Rimac Automobili since they had 40 employees, and now they have over 1000. We introduced the 3D experience platform with them, a central platform on which they develop their cars. We were with them from the development of the first prototypes to the preparation for production today. We struggled, but in the end, we established a system that has been working extremely stably for years, and the results are there – said Cmuk, adding that the intensity of collaboration has decreased today.

– At one point, we had about ten people working for them. Now the collaboration is at the consulting level because they have developed their team that works extremely efficiently on digital transformation – says Cmuk.
