Product Knowledge Management an Innovative Service by DesignTech System. Ltd

Online, December 18, 2009 (Newswire.com) - DesignTech Systems is a pioneer in introducing Product Knowledge Management, a unique communication tool for disseminating critical information about product applications that can help the companies to significantly reduce Product Development Cycle, Design Errors and Product Support Cost. It thereby enhances effective collaboration between and within the companies.
This technology has been in the industry since 2003, however, it was in its preliminary and development stage. After being developed incessantly for about 6 years, DesignTech has now developed a robust technology, with all the latest feature additions
Mr. Atul Marwaha, Director International Business, DesignTech Systems Ltd exclaimed, "One of the well known applications of Product Knowledge Management is CAD Based CBTs which implies Computer Based Training Manuals. It uses the existing Product Design Data and employs latest simulation and visualization tools to create an audio-visual self paced communication format that disseminates information through voice over and instructive text."
This technology can be used by various departments such as Marketing, HR for training the staff, Maintenance & Support, and R&D department etc.
He further added, "This technology enables the companies to create a visual mock-up / animation of the product operation process in terms of its assembly, disassembly, maintenance, fitments, servicing etc. It can thus be extensively used by the marketing department to effectively convey vital product information in terms of guidelines of usage to the customers."
The self paced 3D animation or visualization of the entire product operation breaks the monotony of standard, conventional / stereotypical training sessions in the class room kind of environment or through the web seminars.
It retains the attention of the trainees for a longer duration and is definitely more interesting way of being educated than going through the numerous volumes of guides and manuals.
Mr. Vikas Khanvelkar MD, DesignTech Systems Ltd says "This out-of-the-box technique of training also cuts down on the overall product support cost, as it does not necessitate the need of hiring the services of the trainer to train the trainees."
It is also tremendously helpful for the product development departments to communicate their product ideas to the vendor, dealers and engineers.
He future added, "The 3D visualization avoids ambiguity and brings clarity in the ideas communicated. Based on these visual specifications, the vendors can develop the necessary product parts / components.
It thus facilitates effective collaborative design and concurrent engineering. This enables the companies to accelerate the pace of development by compressing the development cycle time and reducing the error rate in manufacturing"
CEO, Electronica Machine Tools, Mr. Deepak Shrivastava, voiced his experience in favour of PKM, saying, "We employed CBTs in the year 2006 and found it effective to communicate our ideas to customers. This unique and extremely simple to use technology has significantly helped us communicate the technical and operational features of the product within and outside the company. When companies today are getting so cost conscious, they should look at revolutionary technologies like PKM to bring down the expenses and enhance efficiency of the company".
Different vendors contributing to the development of one product, exactly know where and how does their part / component fit in the entire product. It breaks the geographical and time barriers thus enabling all the suppliers and manufacturers to work in perfect collaboration irrespective of their geographical location, thereby adding the overall efficiency to the product development process.
