1. StruM.I.S Customer Success Story | Engineering & Construction
TATA BLUESCOPE achieves
50% reduction in material wastage
Tata BlueScope Building Systems implements StruM.I.S
for Superior Fabrication efficiency
Tata BlueScope Building Solutions (TBSL) is a division of
Tata BlueScope Steel Limited, which is an equal joint-
venture between Tata Steel and BlueScope Steel
(Australia) in the field of coated steel, steel building
solutions and related building products. The division
supplies a range of Pre-engineered Building (PEB)
solutions and takes single source responsibility for the
design, manufacture, shipment and erection of world-
class PEB solutions that can be used for applications in
varied segments.
Challenges:
“Having reviewed all available
 Reduce Material Wastage options, we found that
 Increase Quality of Bids StruM.I.S provides a complete
solution for integrating our BIM
workflow into fabrication. It
Key to Success:
provides us real benefits such
 Integrate BIM with a Fabrication Management System as savings in the associated
 Automatic routing of Off-Cuts to Inventory time as well as enhanced
 A Nesting tool synchronised with Planning, Procurement & Inventory accuracy in estimating and
tendering”
Results: S.Mahesh, Chief Engineering Manager,
Tata BlueScope, Pune
 50% reduction in material wastage in first 2 months itself
 100% integration of BIM workflow into Fabrication
 Accurate Estimate with least manual Input

2. StruM.I.S Customer Success Story | Engineering & Construction
The Challenge: Bid for the profitable projects & reduce material wastage
TBSL, being a pioneer in the PEB industry never run’s short of customer enquiries .With the PEB market in India expected to grow at
15% – 20 % annually TBSL has found it increasingly difficult to meet the demand thus to increase efficiency of their existing
production facility & to reduce material waste across their fabrication process they have been wondering whether
implementing isolated nesting software’s is the right way out?
Solution: Stand alone Nesting Solutions Vs StruM.I.S
Stand-alone Nesting solution with CNC machines will have some basic shortcomings which your Organization will have to address
such as:
All stand alone nesting packages will act independently with no seamless integration
Example- If you have multiple CNC plate cutting machines each CNC Machine will act as an independent nesting station therefore no
synchronization with inventory and other departments will be achieved.
No supply of feedback in terms off;
Off-cut details and rules
Real-time utilization of inventory
Assembly/ Part status
Assembly / Part process timings
The Solution: An Integrated Fabrication Management System which will integrate BIM – Engineering directly
with nesting resulting in auto reconciliation of Off-Cuts
TBSL chose StruM.I.S. to increase productivity as well as efficiency throughout the production process and is confident that the
product will prove to be an ideal product which will enable the business to get more streamlined and improve production capabilities.

Result:
StruM.I.S provides integrated nesting of steel, enabling efficient cutting plan generation, minimising waste and maintaining the
highest quality standards. This integration between StruM.I.S system and the Messer Hypertherm Plasma Cutting Machine of Tata
BlueScope Building Division has reduced their wasted materials by almost 50% in just 2 months post StruM.I.S implementation.
Thus, the Building Solutions business is now able to optimise material usage by utilising the StruM.I.S Material Calculator.
