AutoVue integrates with PTC's Windchill system
Cimmetry Systems, developer of Viewing, Markup and Collaboration solutions, announces the integration of their flagship product, AutoVue with PTC's Windchill system.
Through CapacityWeb, OEMs can access a global community of best-in-class suppliers, pre-qualified for their ability to consistently meet the OEM's process, quality and delivery requirements, and engage in synchronous or asynchronous collaboration.
AutoVue for Java, by Cimmetry Systems, provides the necessary viewing and markup capabilities for the partnering members to cooperate visually on all aspects of a project.
AutoVue provides for the viewing and markup of over 200 engineering and office formats allowing organizations to exchange and comment on the drawings and documents detailing the product being manufactured and the processes used to do so, regardless of the authoring application used to create them.
The Java nature of the solution means that viewing and markup can take place across differing platforms and entirely within a web browser.
"When the need arose for CapacityWeb to implement viewing and markup functionality, we needed a product that was powerful, yet easy for people representing a broad set of disciplines to use," said Scott Hazlett, COO and president at CapacityWeb.

"The solution needed to provide our users with a tool that would promote and facilitate on-line collaboration.
Cimmetry Systems' AutoVue for Java provides us with the technology and the ease of use that our customers demand." "Our AutoVue for Java product provides CapacityWeb with added functionality to further enhance the collaborative environment.
We are extremely pleased to be the viewing and markup solution of choice for CapacityWeb." said Brian Strasser, Business Development Manager at Cimmetry Systems, "CapacityWeb users will now have the ability to view and markup over 200 different file types, all through their web browser." Strasser continued, saying "Our new partnership will provide their members with a more efficient means of successfully completing transactions over the web." CapacityWeb functions as follows: • Buying members post their manufacturing project requirements with CapacityWeb.
This is done in the form of a detailed RFQ (Request for Quotation) that includes the project description (to include 3-D CAD models and 2-D drawings), the buyer's preference for supplier quality, and commercial terms.
• CapacityWeb's patent pending PrismLogicTM matching engine then utilizes over 600 data points to identify a list of Elitas' certified manufacturers with the right capabilities and quality processes that best fit the requirements of the RFQ.
• The shortlist of suppliers willing to bid on the RFQ is then submitted to the buyer for approval.
The buyer and the approved suppliers engage in a multi-stage collaborative process using the CapacityWeb's best-of-breed platform.
The first phase of this collaboration culminates with the buyer selecting the supplier for the job.
• The buyer selects the supplier that can provide best value across multiple parameters, the most important of them being quality, lead-time, price and risk mitigation.
• The buyer and supplier then jointly determine project milestones and delivery schedules.
CapacityWeb and its partners provide continued collaboration and value-added services through the life of the project.
Features of AutoVue for Java include: • View and Markup all 200+ office document, engineering drawing, and CAD file formats.
