TechDesign Training

Software Training

TECHNAL UK's Software Training is designed to ensure your team can effectively utilise our software solutions to streamline project management, enhance productivity, and deliver accurate results. We offer comprehensive training for two key software tools: TechDesign and TechAcoustic. Both are crucial for maximising the efficiency of your processes, from project cost estimation to acoustic performance calculations.

Additional Benefits of Software Training

Increased Efficiency: Reduce manual processes by automating job estimation, material orders and production planning
Improved Accuracy: Minimise errors by using software designs to ensure precise calculations, particularly in cost estimates and material requirements
Integration with Existing Systems: The training will show how the software integrates with other tools, such as CNC machinery and stock checking systems, providing a seamless workflow
Expert Support: Gain access to expert trainers who will guide you through each feature of the software and offer practical insights into its use in real-world projects

Our Software Training is ideal for:

Sales Teams:

To generate accurate quotes and cost estimates using TechDesign

Estimators:

To produce detailed material orders and cost projections

Designers:

To understand how to incorporate specific product and acoustic data into project designs

Production Teams:

To efficiently plan for fabrication, cutting and CNC-machining

Duration: 2 days
Target Audience: Sales, Estimators, Designers, and Production Teams
Location: Training is available at our Tewkesbury, Wakefield, and London locations, or on-site upon request

Key Features and Training Topics

Creating Jobs (Projects): Learn how to initiative and manage projects, set job defaults, and assign necessary project parameters (e.g. glass types, surface finishes, etc.)
Job Calculation Table: Understand how to set up and apply material discounts
Constructions and profiles: Learn how to create custom constructions (windows, doors, curtain walling), including default constructions and simple cross-sections
Reporting: Generate a variety of reports including job cost estimates, material orders, glass orders, cutting lists, and manufacturing reports
Printing Reports: Learn to generate and print crucial documents, including Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) reports
Integration: Connecting to ComAlu to upload orders, check stock, and synchronise data
CNC Integration: Utilise ALUCAM for CNC machine connectivity

By the end of this training, participants will have the skills to efficiently process and manage projects from initial estimation to final manufacturing requirements, ensuring that all stages are handled smoothly and accurately.

TechAcoustic

TechAcoustic is an advanced tool designed for acoustic performance calculations, essential for projects requiring specific sound performance criteria. This training is available upon request and focuses on enabling professionals to calculate and meet acoustic requirements for building systems.

Key Features and Training Topics:

Introduction to Acoustics: Understanding the basics of sound performance in building materials and systems
TechAcoustic Tools: Learn how to use the software to calculate the acoustic performance of TECHNAL products
Interpretation of Results: Understand how to interpret the results and select the right profiles and systems based on the performance data.

This specialised training ensures that your team can confidently integrate acoustic performance considerations into their designs, fabrication, and installation processes, meeting all necessary regulatory requirements.
