“Seemage Player is another important part of our deployment. More than just a free CAD file viewer, Seemage Player offers comprehensive navigation, sizing and annotation functions which are needed in our project to permit the high levels of coordination we require among our different departments, ” added Jean-Francois Plusquellec.
The implementation of Seemage will consist of multiple phases. The first consists of combining online all validated 3D designs with corresponding 2D plans and supplier documents. In this phase Seemage’s advanced visualization capabilities are applied to associatively link together all the information so that users always have the most accurate and up-to-date view of the project. In the latter phases, Seemage will be the “glue” that permits new levels of interaction among the engine designers and developers and manufacturing, for example by allowing the viewing and interaction of engine parts in their assembly contexts.
This deployment plan for Seemage takes advantage of its unique ability to be implemented first as a desktop productivity application and then, using open XML, to be non-disruptively integrated into enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), product lifecycle management (PLM) and other enterprise systems.
“We are proud to have been chosen by the ING Renault F1 Team. Thanks to the capabilities and ease-of-use of Seemage, we hope to help the team meet the increasingly demanding challenges of F1 engine design by providing broader access to 3D information, ” said Bruno Delahaye, Vice President Worldwide Sales, Seemage, Inc.
