Keßler Solutions

As a provider of facility management solutions, Keßler Solutions has depended on the integration of CAD drawings and databases for more than 20 years. CAD plans are linked to databases and processes in FAMOS, Keßler’s GEFMA-certified computer-aided facility management (CAFM) software, by ARES Commander. This allows for bidirectional data sharing, informative visuals, excellent data quality, and FM process integration.

Graebert and Keßler are collaborating to expand this technology with strong, market-oriented CAD solutions. The Web-CAD, an integrated CAD core for the FAMOS WebPortal from Keßler, was built on the basis of ARES Kudo in a relatively short development period. This means that a CAD viewer is now available for users working on mobile devices, enabling them to work as they normally do, without having to learn anything new. This makes it easier to integrate CAD data into the database — for example, by comparing different planning stages on the construction site. The Web-CAD is ideal for everyday usage, such as on building sites (construction progress/status documentation) or in facility management procedures (occupation, relocation, inventory, events).

CADflow for ARES® is an add-on that synchronizes data between drawings and the FAMOS database.

ARES Kudo: The Cloud-Based CAD Solution Empowered by AI

In the rapidly evolving world of computer-aided design (CAD), ARES Kudo has emerged as a game-changing cloud-based solution. Developed by Berlin-based software company Graebert, ARES Kudo is the first online CAD software to reach feature parity with AutoCAD LT, making it a strong alternative for professionals looking for flexible and collaborative drafting tools. With its modern ribbon user interface and more than 300 CAD features, ARES Kudo enables seamless transitions from traditional CAD environments while introducing innovative cloud collaboration capabilities.

One of the most significant recent advancements in ARES Kudo is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). Graebert has introduced A3, an AI-powered assistant designed to enhance user experience, optimize workflows, and provide real-time guidance. Unlike generic AI chatbots, A3 is specifically trained in CAD applications, offering expert support tailored to users’ needs.

A3: The AI-Powered CAD Assistant

Artificial intelligence has become an integral part of daily life, from navigation apps to automated customer support. In the CAD industry, AI's potential is now being realized through tools like A3. Initially launched within ARES Commander, A3 is now fully integrated into ARES Kudo, bringing AI-driven assistance directly to users working in the cloud.

A3’s capabilities go beyond simple query responses. The AI assistant helps users locate commands within ARES Kudo’s interface, provides step-by-step guidance on using features, and offers best practices for CAD design. For professionals transitioning from other platforms like AutoCAD, A3 simplifies the learning curve by instantly pointing out feature locations. For example, users can type “Where is the PDF Import?” and A3 will highlight the relevant tool within the interface.

A3 also functions as an advanced knowledge source for CAD professionals, offering technical advice, design recommendations, and even industry-specific best practices. Whether users are looking for ways to streamline workflows or need assistance with a particular command, A3 serves as an on-demand expert.

Beyond guidance, A3 can perform time-saving tasks such as unit conversions, text translations, and quick calculations. Its multilingual capabilities make it even more accessible, allowing users to communicate with the AI assistant in languages such as English, Spanish, French, German, and Japanese. Unlike traditional customer support, which may take hours or days to provide answers, A3 delivers instant responses, significantly improving productivity.

A Cloud-Based Alternative to AutoCAD LT

ARES Kudo’s introduction of A3 is part of a broader effort to position itself as a leading online CAD platform. With a feature-rich environment and a familiar ribbon UI, ARES Kudo now matches AutoCAD LT’s functionality while offering additional benefits unique to cloud-based solutions.

One notable enhancement is its support for dynamic blocks, which ensures compatibility with AutoCAD files and facilitates seamless collaboration between different software environments. Additionally, the integration of the Trinity Block Library provides access to over 450 pre-built dynamic blocks, further boosting efficiency.

By combining cloud accessibility with AI-driven support, ARES Kudo is redefining the CAD experience. Users can now enjoy a powerful, intelligent, and collaborative design environment, making ARES Kudo a compelling choice for professionals seeking innovation and efficiency in their CAD workflows.
