The SmartInventor solution is a Windows and Web-based product collaboration and document management tool that allows designers, engineers, and manufacturing managers to share information effectively, better control the design and maintenance of documentation and drawings, and improve the data flow within their organizations, the company said. SmartInventor keeps track of the revision lifecycle of all design documents and related product collaboration information, and it enables engineers to work together on the same project and easily communicate engineering data and changes to the rest of the organization. It also performs advanced searches, views, edits, annotates, and controls design documents without actually opening the application that created them, for maximum efficiency.
