GCS Scandinavia(Hägersten, Sweden) last week launched Version 6.2 of Conisio software,a commercial engineering document management system entirely integratedwithin Windows Explorer. The system supports any application running ona Windows-based computer including MCAD programs and all MicrosoftOffice programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project, and Outlook.The software is tightly integrated with the most popular designpackages: SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD, SolidEdge, and MicroStation.
As with Conisio’s other modes of operation, users work with filesusing Explorer and a set of straightforward commands. New filesand folders can be added to the file vault simply by dragging anddropping them into the Web client window. Existing files storedin the vault are managed and updated with commands such as Get, Lock,and Unlock. A secure check-in/check-out system controls versions andrevisions while preventing more than one person at a time frommodifying a particular file.
Workflow functions in Conisio 6.2 enable users at distributed locationsto become active participants in product development, design reviews,engineering change orders, quote approval, and other product-relatedprocesses. Workflow diagrams show paths of documents and relatedinformation including the list of responsible individuals and theiraccess rights (read, modify, approve, etc.). Workers are prompted byautomatic notifications on actions required at specific stages whilemangers are given an overview of a project’s status, showing wherebottlenecks might be developing.
“With its web client and workflow functionality, Conisio 6.2 enablespeople in separate facilities around the world to have direct,real-time access to data files over the Internet so they can worktogether more efficiently and collaboratively,” says GCS PresidentKenneth Hallberg.
According to Hallberg, Conisio is readily used as a foundation forproduct data management and product lifecycle management initiativesbecause of its affordability and ease of use in engineering andthroughout the company in marketing, manufacturing, testing,inspection, procurement, field service, customer support, and othergroups needing product-related information.
