whitepaper Changan Suzuki Cuts CAD Licensing Costs by 80% With Enterprise Visualization Solution2008-07-01 Oracle
  Prior to implementing AutoVue, designers and manufacturing technicians had to use CAD workstations installed on specific computers dispersed throughout ChangAn Suzuki's facilities to view documents. This method of collaboration was soon considered unproductive and cumbersome, especially as the company had to spend thousands of dollars buying new hardware and software licenses to accommodate the increasing number of users. With AutoVue 3D Professional Advanced, engineers, designers, and manufacturing personnel now have secure, real-time access to hundreds of document types via a Web browser. AutoVue enabled access to large 3D models that were uploaded on ChangAn Suzuki's intranet without requiring the original CAD design creation software.

whitepaper RedPrairie Case Study: Briggs & Stratton2008-05-29 RedPrairie
  Briggs & Stratton is the world's largest producer of air-cooled gasoline engines for outdoor power equipment. In the span of three years Briggs & Stratton's replacement parts business exploded from about 35,000 SKUs to over 105,000 SKUs due to growth and new product lines. This growth and the impending end to their previous facility lease forced Briggs & Stratton to reevaluate their business. as a result, they decided to develop a new purpose-built 300,000 square foot distribution center in Menomonee Falls, WI (MFDC) for their replacement parts packaging and distribution business. RedPrairie provided a dynamic pick-face slotting application integrated to the RedPrairie Workforce Management solution already in use at Briggs & Stratton.

whitepaper Smith & Nephew Streamlines Engineering Change Control Process to Shorten Review Cycle2008-03-01 Oracle
  In the medical devices world, Smith & Nephew is synonymous with high standards of performance, innovation and trust. The company's orthopedic reconstruction unit began searching for an enterprise visualization solution to replace a previously discontinued viewer. One major requirement for the new visualization solution was its ability to integrate with the company's PLM system which would enable users to access and view any document type directly from within the PLM environment. Smith & Nephew deployed Oracle's AutoVue 3D Electro-Mechanical Professional for the visualization needs of its orthopedic divisions. AutoVue was immediately tied to the company's PLM system, allowing documents to be viewed and reviewed directly from within the PLM environment.

whitepaper Reducing Oil Exploration Risk by Improving Calculations for Seismic Survey Designs2008-01-01 IBM
  To reduce the risks involved in exploratory drilling, seismic surveys are done to gather data for 3D models used to understand the size and location of oil fields (or squeeze more oil out of existing reservoirs). The oil company wanted to reduce the costs of seismic surveys and improve the quality of information gathered. The client asked IBM Research to work on an application that would help optimize the position of seismic explosions and receivers for seismic survey design. IBM Research's solution involves using an object-oriented approach, an improved analytical model and an unstructured mesh instead of a fixed grid for interpreting results. The solution is a more accurate, flexible and robust approach to the calculations required for seismic survey design.

whitepaper Microsoft Online Customer Story: Nissan2007-11-20 Microsoft Tips
  Nissan is the third largest japanese automobile manufacturer. It's hard to deny the allure of visually immersive video games. The consumer-geared potential for that progressive technology goes far beyond gaming - it opens doors for people who use the Internet every day to search and map. Companies like Nissan are betting that while eye-catching graphics are generally a great way to get consumers' attention, they can go beyond the flash to provide a service. That notion sparked a collaboration between Nissan and Microsoft Digital Advertising Solutions. Nissan saw a superb opportunity to dynamically engage its audience. By placing large, colorful 3-D billboards over the cityscapes, they would have a compelling vehicle to encourage users to click through to their website.

whitepaper Selling to a More Demanding Buyer2007-10-01 siemens
  With a British engineering heritage that dates back to the turn of the twentieth century, Dennis Eagle manufactures refuse collection trucks and is the only company in Europe to design and build both cab chassis and waste handling body, the two elements together creating a particularly well tuned vehicle. Dennis Eagle wanted to respond to increasing price sensitivity. The challenge was to design and build quickly to exact customer requirements. The company created family products based on one standard design methodology. They integrated finite element analysis into design process and prepared jig and tool work earlier in process. They also improved strain predictions and set up quicker channels of communication with suppliers.
