SmartDesk Features • Fully embedded into Autodesk products • Document, Drawing, and file management –ties together all product related information • Revision control • Easy search and documents retrieval • By any attribute (revision, description, part number etc.) • “Where Used” and “Composed of” queries • Full Xref support • Full assembly support (external & local parts) • Bi-directional Title Block updating • Embedded viewer (over 200 formats)
SmartDesk User Benefits (I) • Revision Control • Full life cycle management • Automatically maintains design modifications log • Automatically generates revision numbers • Controlled access to files • Ability to view different revisions of the same design • Management of Minor and Major revisions • Quick find and easy retrieval of legacy designs • Facilitate concurrent engineering • Time spent on design not on data management • Significantly reduces error • Productivity Improvement
SmartDesk User Benefits (II) • Full X-Ref Support and Assembly Management • Understands the hierarchical structure of assemblies • Understands the relationships between different designs • Ability to extract Bills of Material info. Automatically • Easy “Where Used” and “Composed of” queries • Prevents design contradictions and collisions • Knowing in advance what is going to be affected by a change • Productivity Improvement
SmartDeskUnderstands the Hierarchical Structure of Assemblies
SmartDesk User Benefits (III) • Bi-directional Title Block updating • Ability to map to any custom Title Block • Automatically fills-in & update Title Block fields • Keeps TB information consistent and up-to-date • TB Information is filled-in once – eliminate the need to re-type information • TB Information can be viewed even without opening the design file • TB information can be shared with any other ERP/MRP system • Keeps system integrity • Reduces administrative time & typing errors • Share TB information with other groups • Improves Productivity
SmartDesk User Benefits (IV) • Simple and easy to use • Plugs into the CAD environment via the “in process” methodology • Windows standard user interface • Intuitive and friendly • Keeps focus on design - not on data management • Reduction of design errors • Share information and collaborate with team members
The “In Process” Methodology • Work within the application… • Staying in the design environment while managing the data • The management simply becomes part of the normal design process. • All the key operations such as Search, Locate, and Life Cycle/Revision control have been intuitively designed and are located inside the design application • No need to spend extra time re-keying data
SmartDesk Organizational Benefits • Improves Product Innovation and Team Collaboration • Reducing Concept creation to Product realizationCycle Times • Streamlines and automates work processes and procedures • Automatically tracks all of the vast amounts of information required to design, manufacture, and maintain products • Adheres to market standards (ISO, MIL, etc.)
SmartDesk Organizational Benefits (cont.) • Rapidly implemented • Ready to use out-of-the-box • Quick load of legacy data • Scalability – a clear and simple migration path to an enterprise information management solution – SmarTeam • Bridging islands of information among teams within the enterprise in a secured way
SmarTeam Family of Products For product data management within larger organizations, SmarTeam, SmartFlow, SmartWeb, and SmarTeam Viewer provide a direct and simple migration path to department and enterprise level applications. These products are fully scalable, so retraining is not necessary, and you can keep the same database throughout.
