Acquisition International - Issue 8 2019 73 Jul19163 Supporting You from Concept to Completion Seize A Solution is a mechanical production engineering consultancy, with 30 years of experience within automotive and aerospace manufacturing under their belt. Following the firm’s recent success in AI’s Leading Adviser 2019 where they were selected as the Leading Mechanical Production Engineering Consultancy of the Year, UK, we profiled the firm as we looked to gain a deeper insight into the exceptional services they provide. ince their inception in 1999, Seize A Solution has specialised in Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) training, adoption and consultancy. Today, the firm also offers their clients engineering solutions which range from concept all the way through to assembly. At the beginning of any project, the team at Seize A Solution asks clients to undertake a GD&T Assessment, as the language is different between the ISO (international) and ASME (American) standards, and as such the firm can check the client’s abilities, tailoring its solutions to meet their individual needs. This is to ensure that every client is able to get the most out of their time working with the firm’s expert team of GD&T professionals. Throughout the years, Seize A Solution has worked tirelessly to ensure that the team offer a diverse range of solutions to the very highest possible standard through the firm’s Partnerships with software vendors, training centres and engineering companies. As a result, this helps the expert team at Seize A Solution to gain a deeper understanding of industry needs, which in turn allows them to provide their clients with an appropriate solution that is at the cutting-edge of the latest industry thinking. The firm’s services are particularly important in today’s engineering market, as GD&T is a language used on mechanical engineering drawings and 3D annotated models comprising of symbols that are used to efficiently and accurately communicate geometry requirements for associated features on components and assemblies. Most engineers understand the geometric symbols, but often, true definitions are misinterpreted or inconsistently applied. Fully adopting and understanding the philosophy will enable engineers to calculate, apply and analyse geometrical tolerances to guarantee that parts fit together and are totally interchangeable at the design stage, before physical parts have been created. Following this, the company works alongside them to support them in their learning and implementation of the complexities of this language. With Seize A Solution and their technical partners, clients are able to take advantage of their digital environment. These technical partners include Seimens PLM software, who work with Seize A Solution to provide support for all things GD&T to Seimens PLM software users. Looking ahead to what the future holds for the firm, the team at Seize A Solution will continue to deliver an impeccable service to their clients, ensuring that they not only fulfil the requirements which have been set but also surpass their expectations. Moving forward, the Seize A Solution team hope to adapt to industry developments within the engineering market, as well as further expand the business, their presence and the services they offer to clients in the years to come, as they continue delivering market-leading, cutting-edge range of solutions that they can rely on.
