e4eNet Inc., a leading company for business-to-business engineering collaboration technology, announced today the successful release of version 1.0 of their web based solutions for e-manufacturing collaboration. e4eNet has harnessed the power of the internet to provide a unique technology that allows OEM design and NPI groups to accurately present data to the manufacturing community for review. The design review process, as it exists today, is streamlined by providing graphical representations of all data types used to manufacture.
"We have been partnering with our customers to build private supplier eCollaboration exchanges for several years now. The new capabilities we are adding are based on years of experience, man years of research and lessons learned about best practices derived from our customers," said Leigh Eichel, President of e4eNet.
Manufacturing partners are given opportunity to inspect the data for issues prior to production, providing valuable feedback for the design team to implement, essentially resulting in improved manufacturing yields, design quality and reduced time to market. All the manufacturing teams, regardless of geographical location, can have all access to project information through a simple web browser. All engineering issues and approvals are tracked and stored to provide a complete project history. The management of multiple suppliers for the same product line is simplified by providing a secure location for the supplier information to reside.
Web Based collaboration systems features include:
Project Knowledgebase
Mechanical CAD
ECAD
Project Management
Application Sharing
Panelization Review
DFM Issue Management
"Whether it`s very sophisticated security for complex multi-layer supplier exchanges, integration between closed proprietary PDM systems, or support for collaboration around richer product information sources. These new capabilities will enable manufacturers to build even more powerful private collaboration exchanges, keeping all members of their virtual manufacturing network perfectly synchronized on rapidly changing project and engineering data and information," Eichel added.
