Needs
Elizabeth needs a complete tool to create a complete package of industrial architecture diagrams built based on each other. Comprehensive support with symbol libraries, data import, and auto adjustments tools is required.
Elizabeth Warne is a motivated industrial architect with a proven track record of cost-efficient drafting, planning, and designing factory architecture, industrial plants architecture, and other constructions related to the manufacturing industry.
Challenges
Improvement in Communication and Coordination
Since the industry architecture designs solutions for other teams, clear communication, and standardized symbols are critical requirements. When make-shift programs are used, symbols are not standardized, and the plans are not authentic eventually.
High Efficiency
Switching between different programs to create different drawings takes time and kills the workflow. Also, industrial design is a gradual process that builds on the previous step, so one unified program is a must.
Easy Distribution
Distribution of plans and designs between different teams and stakeholders requires portable formats and platform-independent files. Another critical aspect is to keep the versions of drawings in check to avoid confusion.
The Solutions
Elizabeth's expertise is her attention to detail and consideration for specialized processes related to manufacturing, power generation, processing, and other industries.
She discovered EdrawMax in research conducted by her team as they were struggling with the learning curve of AutoCAD and the limitations of Visio. Elizabeth mentions that after reviewing many softwares, they decided to favor EdrawMax because of the wide range of diagrams available in this software. They find it very attractive to make all required diagrams in one software and make a package to store in the virtual workspace provided by EdrawMax cloud services.
Elizabeth thinks comprehensive drawing software supports her team in saving resources and time and improving team collaboration and communication among stakeholders.
Maximized Productivity
Accurate and widely understandable standardized diagrams and plans effectively reduce the chances of shortcomings in the design phase. This accuracy of plans means the company saves financial and workforce resources and helps the teams to achieve more work in less time.
Since the plans are based on each other, a mistake in one plan can translate and amplify in the next plans. So, clear communication with standardized diagrams is the best way to minimize the chances of errors and resource leaks.

Intuitive User Interface
EdrawMax's intuitive user interface aims for the best user experience with its simple, modern interface that guarantees a very short learning curve. It places all the symbols, libraries, and tools at a very accessible place in the interface. Also, the drag and drop feature allows easy use of all tools and symbols, and intelligent auto-formatting makes it more structured.
This intuitive user interface has a very strong impact on minimizing the learning curve. Even a new user can easily make sense of the overall scenario and start working right away. The toolbars are very well placed with a wide and approachable canvas for drawing.

Virtual Workspace
As we know, industrial design and architecture are a combined effort of many teams working together, so a collaborative workspace provides a critical structure for these teams to work effortlessly. EdrawMax has virtual teamwork and cloud storage where users can save their work and share easily with each other.
Elizabeth also noticed that their team communication has improved immensely after using the EdrawMax cloud services. She can write comments about the document right there in the cloud file for the relevant team member as an instruction or feedback and minimize the use of communication tools like email, texts etc.
