Due to the new user interface in the flat design it is now possible to handle PARTsolutions a lot more intuitively and efficiently.
The partial 3-D similarity search makes it possible to find patterns or arrangements in components.
With the new PARTsolutions version 10 all component information is shown to users in only one window.
"With CADENAS new PARTsolutions version 10, a leap in the parts management sector was performed, which also revolutionizes - Intelligent Finding' with many new features and improvements. Engineers and purchasers are provided with significantly improved search features, helping them to find parts in the company and in the parts world in a targeted way. The customized filter assistants, pioneering changes when classifying with the new solution Classification 2.0, display of all component dimensioning in a 3-D window and numerous new interfaces to all common CAD, PLM and ERP systems," said a company spokesperson.
Due to the new user interface in the flat design, handling of CADENAS parts management is even more intuitive and efficient. The extensive search feature window is now available in all views allowing a targeted access. Furthermore the search results are organized in clearly arranged multiple tabs. Thus the different search results are visible at any time. The complete layout in PARTsolutions can be adjusted individually according to the needs of the user.
With the new PARTsolutions version, for the first time, filter assistants can be adjusted to the programmers own requirements by defining the respective filter variables for searching individually and determining the graphical interface. The customized filter assistants generated afterwards can be saved and provided to other users in the team or for the Classification 2.0. Components that are frequently searched for can be found in an uncomplicated and effective way in manufacturing companies. An example for the practical use and success of the customized filter assistants can be seen in the mutual case study of the French railway company SNCF. By means of PARTsolutions the company was able to reduce the multiplicity of bolted connection fasteners by 15%.
Often engineers do not only need the dimensioning for 2-D derivations but also in the 3-D view. With the new PARTsolutions version 10, all component information is shown to the user in only one window. Thus it is no longer necessary to tediously switch back and forth between the different display windows. This way mistakes can be avoided and time spent searching for components can be saved.
Also the partial 3-D similarity search, often used by engineers, was further developed with the new version of the Strategic Parts Management. Besides small part segments of a component also special geometric arrangements of other parts can be used for the partial 3-D similarity search.
In the case of very extensive results of a component search, PARTsolutions now offers the possibility to filter different components by the respective type or category. Due to the clearly arranged visualization of the search results, engineers get a good overview and can narrow the results even further to the relevant components.
The PARTsolutions version 10 also scores with many new interfaces to familiar CAD, PLM and ERP systems and seamless integrations. i.e. catalog parts can be taken over with their parts master data into the ERP quickly and easily. This way purchasers can create files of parts master data even easier which also helps to avoid errors occurring by typing the data manually.
Further highlights of the PARTsolutions version 10 are:
- A function wizard allows the search of components without knowing the exact designation. By means of the respective component function, for instance press and lock, the search for the suitable component can be started easily.
- Recognizing topological elements on the basis of the Capvidia functionality was further improved.
- Improved search result lists now also offer a filter possibility. Thus filtering according to fixed values and areas is possible.
- The comparison of components by means of the sectioning function was enhanced.
- Classification 2.0 - a new pioneering method to realize "classification without effort".
