5 Ways Machine Learning Is Revolutionizing Fabrication Processes
The manufacturing and fabrication industries are entering a new era—powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning. As production needs grow more complicated, costs for labor and materials are changing. Companies are using advanced technology to remain competitive. At the center of this transformation is machine learning, enabling smarter, faster, and more predictive operations across fabrication […]
8 Reasons Why It’s Time to Move from Excel to Fab Shop Software
From Spreadsheets to Smart Fab Shop Software: Making the Shift For years, many fabrication shops have relied on Excel spreadsheets to manage production schedules, track materials, and plan workflows. Excel is flexible and widely available. However, developers did not create it for the complex needs of modern prefabrication environments. Today, smart shops are using dedicated […]
Enhancing Fabrication with BIM-to-Fab Feedback Loops
In MEP prefabrication or fabrication, being competitive means more than just coordinating a good model. It also means learning from the fab shop and improving all the time. Today’s most efficient teams don’t just design, fabricate, and build—they close the loop between BIM and fabrication. BIM-to-fab feedback loops create a positive cycle. Insights from installations, […]
Elevate Your Construction Productivity
Doing more in construction with less is not just an advantage—it’s a necessity. Projects are growing in complexity, labor is scarce, and the margin for error continues to shrink. That’s why contractors use purpose-built construction productivity software to streamline operations and improve outcomes. MSUITE serves MEP contractors and industrial fabricators, offering a cloud-based suite of […]
BIM Automation for Support System Layout
Achieving speed and accuracy in the design phase of construction is no longer a competitive advantage — it’s a necessity. The growth of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has improved teamwork and visibility throughout the project. However, one challenge still exists: support system layout. Despite significant advances in BIM workflows, contractors lose time and productivity because […]
Unlock the Future of Construction at the Elevate Summit 2025
In today’s construction landscape, innovation isn’t optional—it’s mission-critical. The challenges are bigger, the timelines shorter, and the pressure to deliver is unrelenting. That’s why DEWALT & MSUITE are excited to host the Elevate Summit 2025. This is a four-day conference for customers dedicated to helping construction professionals build smarter, grow faster, and lead the future […]
From Bottleneck to Breakthrough: Automating Hanger Placement
In the fast-paced world of construction and prefabrication, time is money. Yet many teams still face a common bottleneck: manual hanger placement in Building Information Modeling (BIM) environments. This old method slows down the design process. It also raises the chances of human error, rework, and expensive delays. Introducing MSUITE Hangers—a new construction solution that […]
How MSUITE Hangers Solve the Placement Problem
Precision and efficiency are paramount in the Building Information Modeling (BIM) ecosystem. Yet, one often overlooked aspect—hanger placement—can consume disproportionate amounts of time and resources. This inefficiency hampers productivity and increases the risk of errors and project delays. Common Challenges in the Process Manual placement takes a lot of time. It requires careful attention […]
Navigating Rising Material Costs in Construction
In 2025, construction leaders face an all-too-familiar challenge: material costs are spiking again. With new tariffs, global demand is higher than supply and material cost increases from tariffs present new challenges in estimating your work. Critical materials like copper are getting more expensive. As a result, fabricators are facing a margin crunch. The stakes are […]
