Right Hemisphere, a purveyor of product graphics management software, this week will announce a major upgrade to its integrated suite of visual communication and collaboration tools. The next-generation software platform, called Right Hemisphere 5, automates the delivery of data confined in PLM systems and allows manufacturers to reuse that data in other enterprise applications. The Right Hemisphere platform, composed of client and server software, translates product information — specifically CAD data — into rich media content for use in sales, marketing, manufacturing, or training. In that way, a downstream user of product data such as a promotions manager or catalog editor can access advanced engineering models without any familiarity with engineering programs like CAD. Automating the translation of CAD information into other programs can help a company shorten the time it takes to launch a product and streamline the process of creating supporting product documentation for marketing, training, assembly, or maintenance purposes, according to the company. Right Hemisphere addresses "the whole second half of the PLM problem," said Michael Lynch, president and CEO of Right Hemisphere, in an interview with Managing Automation. [Click to continue] |
