Engineering the knowledge of design
The need to capture, manage and use design knowledge and automate manufacturing processes has led to the development of knowledge-based engineering technology.
The need to capture, manage, and utilise design knowledge and automate processes unique to a manufacturer's product development experience has led to the development of knowledge-based engineering (KBE) technology The purpose of KBE is to provide a specialised design environment to the users for capturing intents

Software promises instantaneous modelling
A new interaction paradigm speeds innovation by enabling users to develop 3D models without any preplanning giving users up to a 100 times faster design experience.
FEA software is certified by Intel
Certification guarantees that software meets third-party standards for security and interoperability, and is enabled on Intel platforms with advanced technologies like multicore processing.
The goal of KBE technology is to provide design organisations with a high-level programming environment for capturing and infusing this valuable knowledge into its product design processes and to engineer and manufacture products with more consistent product quality and increased production efficiencies KBE helps in reduction in design time, eliminates checking, captures product knowledge and allows companies to customise more and more products, with shorter lead times, and increased market share and revenues.
Adroitec's Knowledge Engineering model will help greatly with: drastic reductions on design time; product knowledge and expertise of experienced personnel captured on system; human error removed to a large extent; enhanced facilities for checking the basic design data; instant availability of data on system (drawing retrieval time reduced to minimum); interpolation possible for new product development; archiving the design practices and experience of the designers; integrating engineering analysis calculation with the CAD and model; and performing simulation of the model for performance, manufacturing of parts, assembly and for operation and maintenance.
Linking it with stores system, drawing document management, bidding system etc, Adroitec combines the skills of the domain experts, system analyst, business managers, software engineers to study the existing design and manufacturing process, the engineering analysis of the systems, linkages of the design and manufacturing systems to other commercial system and provide Knowledge Engineering models to the customer.
