UGS Launches the Industry's First End-to-End Enterprise Quality Solution
Jump to Website Here
New Vis QualityTM Application Completes the Suite of Products that Define
this Packaged Offering
CYPRESS, CA (September 25, 2001) * UGS (NYSE: UGS) today announces the
industry's first enterprise quality solution for manufacturers that
addresses the entire quality management process from start to finish. This
powerful solution improves product dimensional quality, streamlines the
entire quality management process and reduces development costs. For the
first time, individuals throughout the entire enterprise and supply chain
can create, view and share quality information in an electronic, paperless
form * right from their desktop.
The UGS enterprise quality solution includes a comprehensive family of tools
and services along with a structured methodology designed to drive
dimensional quality into the product development process. The tools use the
industry standard, lightweight Direct Model (.JT) format and work with all
leading CAD applications. The enterprise quality solution is a complete
end-to-end solution that encompasses the entire product development
lifecycle * from concept through product design, tooling design and build,
manufacturing, prototype, production and continuous improvement.
The UGS enterprise quality solution consists of a scalable suite of
applications that includes two existing UGS products, Vis VSA for
dimensional analysis and Vis Publish for 3D digital publishing, along with a
new offering being announced today, Vis Quality, for high-end visualization
of measurement inspection data. In addition, the UGS enterprise quality
solution leverages the power of UGS' industry leading visual collaboration
solution, e-Vis, to enable effective quality management throughout the
extended enterprise. The synergistic combination of these tools helps
manufacturers improve product dimensional quality, reduce development costs,
minimize production build issues, reduce warranty defects, scrap and rework,
reduce the need for physical prototypes, leverage manufacturing information
and streamline the entire dimensional quality process.
UGS professional services are also available for optimal deployment of the
solution throughout the enterprise. UGS can perform an assessment of
current enterprise quality practices and provide recommendations to improve
dimensional quality processes, optimize solution deployment and maximize
return on investment.
"UGS' enterprise quality solution includes a very powerful and comprehensive
set of products," says Fred Smereka, President of Trikon Corporation * a
leading dimensional management services provider for over 30 years. "We are
very impressed with its overall capabilities and are using the solution to
help customers improve the dimensional quality of their products.
"It is also enabling significant productivity gains. For example, Vis VSA
has allowed us to reduce dimensional analysis modeling time by over 50
percent. UGS' enterprise quality solution allows us to deliver dimensional
management services in a completely electronic, paperless form * something
that has never been done before."
"The enterprise quality solution underscores UGS' commitment to provide
robust open solutions to the manufacturing industry," says Joan Hirsch,
director of MCAD solutions, UGS. "The CAD-neutral nature of the enterprise
quality solution means that virtually any company doing product development
can use these tools to optimize the dimensional quality of their products."
The UGS Enterprise Quality Solution * a Suite of Quality Offerings
The following is a brief description of the three UGS applications included
in the solution:
* Vis Quality is a new tool used to graphically display,
analyze and communicate production measurement data relative to 3D geometry
in a high-end visualization environment. It can be used to troubleshoot
assembly build problems and share quality information throughout the
extended enterprise. Measurement inspection data that normally exists only
on the factory floor can be easily accessed from any desktop.
* Vis VSA is a powerful dimensional analysis tool used to
simulate manufacturing and assembly processes and predict the amounts and
causes of variation. By representing variation in the digital mockup, Vis
VSA enables manufacturers to evaluate product dimensional quality, before
making physical parts or tooling. The result is improved product quality,
reduced development cost and minimized time to market.
* Vis Publish is a revolutionary, 3D digital publishing
solution, which enables individuals throughout the entire manufacturing
enterprise to author, distribute and visualize the most current product and
process data in a controlled, multi-media environment. This is accomplished
by leveraging enterprise visualization software, reusing existing product
and process data, integrating 2D and 3D environments and automating the
maintenance of data. Vis Publish provides the enterprise quality solution
with the ability to create and maintain critical quality documents.
Leveraging e-Vis to Enable Quality Throughout the Enterprise
To connect the extended enterprise to mission-critical dimensional quality
information in a secure, Internet-enabled workspace, the enterprise quality
solution leverages the power of e-Vis, UGS' industry leading visual
collaboration solution. By using e-Vis as an integral part of the solution,
users are able to proactively monitor manufacturing and assembly processes
via real-time access to manufacturing-related quality information plus
instant, automated e-mail and pager notification.
