Native DWG reading
Imports DWG with external references, Plant 3D objects and CADWorx components without AutoCAD. Every part's real geometry shows in 3D.
Industrial plant dismantling & shipping
From 3D plantto load plan.
NEXUS reads your plant drawings, groups parts by TAG, decides what to dismantle and works out how many containers you need — every decision recorded and reversible.

Features
Built for teams that dismantle and ship entire plants.
Not a box calculator: NEXUS starts from the engineering drawing and ends at the shipping plan.
TAG assemblies
Parts are grouped by line or equipment. Accept a whole assembly as one dismantling unit instead of checking part by part.
Automatic cutting
When an assembly doesn't fit, NEXUS separates only the joints it must — flanges first, welds last — and suggests transverse cuts when needed.
Bundles & stacking
Similar pipes go into cradled bundles with dunnage; flagged parts can be stacked. Plans use the container's height, not just its floor.
Every plan validated
Payload per container, door clearance, allowed orientation, support and layers: the validator checks every position before showing a result.
Roadmap & exports
Excel dismantling roadmap by TAG, break-bulk list for quotes and a CSV parts review.
How it works
Three steps from drawing to shipment.
Import the drawings
Upload the plant DWG (with XREFs) and, if available, the Plant 3D database. NEXUS identifies parts, TAGs, lines and weights.
Review assemblies
Check weights and sizes by TAG, accept assemblies, cut what doesn't fit and choose flat rack or break bulk when needed.
Plan and export
Pick the containers, compute the load, review it in 3D and export the dismantling roadmap and shipping lists.
Case study · simulation
Ethanol distillery: from 6 to 2 containers.
In a pilot distillery relocation, the first plan needed six 20' Open Top containers. After correcting pipe weights, bundling pipes and switching to 40' units, the same cargo fit into two 40' Open Top containers.

Who it's for
For teams that move plants.
Project engineering
Relocation, decommissioning or resale of industrial plants.
Project logistics
Container, flat rack and break-bulk quotes backed by drawing data.
Dismantling & erection
Roadmap by TAG: what goes together, what to separate and where it goes.
