The INSTALL-FIX module of fischer’s FIXPERIENCE design software supports planners, structural engineers and tradespeople  with the structural calculation of installation systems including suitable anchors and documentation. The programme works with graphic input and determines the required quantities of the individual elements. The tool leads users through the design process step by step. The status bar provides a constant update on the static load utilisation of the installation system. Users can also provide static proof for standard solutions or more complex installations including anchor dimensions suitable for their projects. Entering the parameters will take them to a verifiable printout and as well as a parts list of the individual elements required.

fischer application engineers can also determine a list of materials and parts, if required. Additional planning phase services include detailed drawings of applications for projects with CAD details, calculations and calls for tender. Installers can also tap their way to the right fixing solution for the task in hand using the digital product consultant of the new “fischer Professional” tradespeople app for Android and iOS. The app allows them to order the product directly from a specialist retailer. The tool also features a chat function which enables users to communicate directly with fischer application engineers in case of any unanswered questions. Further useful app contents include a product catalogue, local retailer search, barcode scanner and fischer news.

Users can alternatively find a suitable solution in just a few clicks through the online product catalogue on the fischer website. Additional information such as technical data, approval and load documents and product videos can be accessed quickly and easily. Customers can find nearby retailers who stock their desired products or order them online using the shopping cart function.

Planners and HVAC tradespeople can also receive support with the setup of channel frames including pipe clamps and sliding elements as well as all other necessary components through the pre-assembly service. The fischer Group of Companies also offers a broad training programme with seminars specifically for the electrical and HVAC trade. Certified industry trainers who are experienced tradespeople and engineers pass on their knowledge at the fischer academy or on-site with the customer. The course content includes theory material and numerous opportunities to practise on original-sized models. fischer application engineers across the globe are available to provide consultation and product training on the construction site during the project’s construction phase.
