EcoStruxure™ ArcFM Designer Express

Like EcoStruxure™ ArcFM Designer, EcoStruxure™ ArcFM Designer Express (formerly known Designer Express) lets you enhance a work sketch with GIS information, materials needed, and labor costs —with this important difference: You can choose, instead, to work in a more streamlined, less detailed fashion. It’s a fast, easy-to-use tool created specifically for design engineers who prefer not to identify each and every material or compatible unit needed to construct new facilities.

Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure™ ArcFM Designer Express offers key benefits:

• Interface is  easy and intuitive
• Materials lists
    - Allow you to view, add or remove materials, and set quantities
    - Provide materials and cost reporting
• Design estimating
    - Includes cost item library with pre-assigned costs or can be entered per project
    - Conductor or pipe length automatically provided for cost estimating
• Improves abandon/remove functionality
• Fully integrates with Workflow Manager
• Allows easy transfer of information from design engineer to GIS for as-built editing
• Built-in commission tool converts design sketch to enterprise GIS data with little manual effort

The built-in flexibility of  EcoStruxure™ ArcFM Designer Express allows you to work at the level of detail necessary to create the work sketch – but not necessarily the level of detail needed for asset management and update of the EcoStruxure™ ArcFM Enterprise GIS database. And it’s ideal for utilities when outsourcing construction – you provide the design, and your contractors specify costs and materials in their bids.
