The LogiKal heroal edition makes it easy and fast to enter elements, since all system logics have been entered in the heroal knowledge data base. It is possible to design and calculate window, door and curtain wall systems (including preparation of quotes). Also, each modification of a design created by you is subject to an immediate, automated plausibility check. Prices are calculated promptly, based on current pricing. The LogiKal heroal edition can also be used for process planning and the integrated operation of CNC machinery.

Search function in LogiKal

Thanks to the interface between the LogiKal heroal edition and the heroal Communicator, the search for documents that are relevant for manufacture leads you directly to the Communicator. Since the article number and the name of the system it belongs to are transferred to the Communicator, the search results are automatically filtered. That means you get better search results and can easily access the relevant documents.

• design and calculation of window, door and curtain wall systems
• automated plausibility check when element is entered
• preparation of quotes: prices are adjusted to the calculation in real time
• process planning / work preparation
• integrated operation of CNC machinery

The design of curtain walls can be very complex. With the CAD software ATHENA from CAD-PLAN, you can also design very complex curtain walls and door sheets. ATHENA offers a perfect interface to LogiKal. You can access the programme directly from there, and easily transfer your curtain wall and sheet designs to the LogiKal heroal Edition, for example. A plausibility check is also run in the background, in real time.

• design of complex curtain wall systems and door sheet editing
• 2D and 3D designs
• sheet design and development
• powerful calculation tools for statics and building physics
• BIM-enabled

The heroal configurator provides support to help you configure, prepare quotes and order elements from the heroal Ready range of roller shutters and sun protection. Thanks to its integration in the heroal LogiKal edition, you can access current prices, profit from integrated plausibility checks, reduce your error rate and make order entry, quotations and product orders much more efficient.

• configuration of finished elements from the range of roller shutters and sun protection
• automated plausibility check
• preparation of quotes
• direct ordering
• connected to LogiKal

In addition to the heroal configurator, we offer interfaces to calculation and ERP systems. It does not really matter which system you use. For example, you can use LogiKal EOS to place digital orders directly with heroal. You will then receive your order confirmation via email. In addition to LogiKal, your ERP system can also be connected to heroal via electronic data interchange (EDI). Your order is transmitted directly and your order confirmation sent to you promptly, via the same interface. Either way, your order can be processed quickly, easily and reliably. Thanks to digitised archiving, you always have a good overview of your orders.

• integrated, paperless processes
• fast and reliable ordering
• low communication effort
• digital archiving of your orders

LogiKal MES (Manufacturing Execution System) allows you to adopt paperless operations, which ultimately increase production efficiency. For pre-defined areas of work, this software provides for the right information at the right time and in the right place. Your employees automatically receive the documents that are relevant for the production step they are responsible for. There is no need to print out work orders any more, because they are shown on display screens on the shop floor. LogiKal MES makes in-house production control much easier and facilitates the search for CE data, which is usually rather complex to create. Thanks to an interface to the heroal Communicator, all relevant production information can be retrieved.

In this context, the Data Matrix Code offers an additional feature. Scanning this code allows you to clearly identify the profile; profile information, such as article no., length and colour, are retrieved, thanks to the interfaces to the Communicator and LogiKal MES. An automated plausibility check is run during the scanning process.

• paperless manufacturing through digital control of the entire production
• enhanced quality management thanks to transparent production processes
• ideal capacity utilisation of machinery and manpower
• less tied-up capital due to reduced inventories
• shorter processing times
