Your engineers create critical company data like standards, work instructions, tech data packages, test plans, and more. And then you save these concepts in “dead text” formats like PDF, Word, even paper. You might as well put them on papyrus and entomb them. These formats:
These deficiencies lead to massive amounts of tedious and time-consuming manual labor, higher costs, unnecessary risk throughout the enterprise, and a significant slowdown in project lifecycles.
It’s time to stop the madness and move your engineering documentation into the 21st century — the era of the Model-Based Enterprise, the Digital Thread, and the Internet of Things.
SWISS uses AI and semantic processing to transform your static engineering documents into a living, breathing network of intelligent, interoperable data. Every concept within your engineering content knows its meaning, its status, and its relationship to other data. No one works from out-of-date versions. No one wastes time searching for related documents or concepts. No one has to guess the operational impact of a change to any document. Actionable intelligence is conveyed throughout the enterprise and supply chain to help engineers do their work faster, with fewer errors, and less risk.
Companies that shift from shuffling PDF and print documents to the SWISS “Internet of Things for documents” reap significant benefits in nearly every stage of project lifecycles.
Every element of the SWISS platform has been carefully engineered to deliver desired outcomes specified from the shop floor to the top floor. With SWISS, every engineering or manufacturing document is:
Automatically connect silos of internal and external information, across functions, disciplines, and partners.
WHY: reduce search time, pinpoint answers to questions, and uncover “what you don’t know”.
Easily extract and track text, tables, graphs, images, and equations into other applications.
WHY: eliminate wasteful copy/paste/rekey, and reuse common data elements to reduce start-up times and finish projects faster.
Changes at the source are automatically conveyed downstream so your entire enterprise and supply chain are using the same information.
WHY: reduce rework and project delays while enabling more frequent iterations on-the-fly.
The powerful SWISS API automatically delivers critical data into PLM, EPC, and other systems.
WHY: get the exact information you need, right when and where you need it.
Automatically detects differences between versions and shows the impact of changes.
WHY: reduce manual steps and improve speed and accuracy of change management.
Much of your critical engineering content (like internal information, customer specs, and external industry standards) is in dead-text print and PDF, which seems cheap and easy at first glance. But these formats create exponential problems that bite right into your bottom line. SWISS eliminates these problems.
SWISS does this by reducing time to find the right information, eliminating late-stage changes and rework, speeding up document creation, enabling re-use of common data elements, and reducing risk by ensuring that everyone uses the right information all the time.
Imagine clicking back and forth from your internal product specs to ASTM, ASME, API, MIL Specs, work instructions, PLM, and back. When you convert your internal content to SWISS, you’ll have a single source of comprehensive, interoperable engineering data. The results: greater productivity, shorter time to market, and the lowest possible cost of using and managing information in your workflow.
SWISS was built with funding from the Department of Defense and innovation leadership from ASTM, ASME, IEEE, SAE, and leading aerospace, energy, and manufacturing companies.
