Advantech Adds 3D Product Models Powered by TraceParts to eAutomationPro Web Site
Industrial automation leader Advantech is now using the TraceParts Internet service to provide 3D product models, for engineers and designers, through their eAutomatioPro web site. Advantech’s customers will be able to select the right product for their needs and then download 3D CAD models of the products into their designs.
Advantech provides Open HMI platforms, Industrial Ethernet, Automation Controllers, Automation Software, Embedded Automation Computers, Distributed I/O Modules, Plug-in I/O, and Industrial Communication solutions to a wide array of industries.
“Our customers around the world were asking for 3D models of our products to include in their designs”, says Lynette Andersen, Marketing Manger Advantech Industrial Automation Group. “The catch was they wanted the models delivered in a wide variety of CAD system formats. TraceParts allows us to satisfy those needs.”
“Advantech has been providing industrial automation and communication solutions for 25 years,” said Bob Noftle, president of TraceParts, Inc. “They offer comprehensive system integration hardware, software, customer-centric design services, global logistics support and an industry-leading front and back office e-business infrastructure. TraceParts helps Advantech strengthen relationships with its customers by saving them time and helping them to make better design decisions faster than with paper-based catalogs.”
