Eriez Selects ImageSite™ Manufacturing - Extending Autodesk Vault with Integrated Manufacturing Document Release, Distribution and Collaboration Functions
Eriez is a leader in advanced technology for magnetic, vibratory and inspection system applications. The company develops, manufactures and markets magnetic separation, metal detection and materials feeding, screening, conveying and controlling equipment for process and metalworking industries.
“Our recently implemented Autodesk Vault PDM solution worked well for the Engineering department but problems remained for our non-engineering users to find, view, print, and generally work with the engineering content they need for their day to day jobs," said Dan Ester, Information Services Director. "Eriez initially contacted eQuorum Corporation to help with printing from Autodesk Vault since we had used eQuorum's batch print software in the past with great success. eQuorum, however, suggested improving the overall efficiency of our manufacturing data flow from engineering to the broader Eriez manufacturing, sales and support organizations through the use of ImageSite.”
According to Dan Ester, “We will significantly improve our workflows for drawings approved in Autodesk Vault to then be automatically made available to downstream manufacturing, sales and support functions through ImageSite’s seamless integration with Vault.” The resulting solution allows the Engineering department to continue using Autodesk’s Vault for detailed design work; with ImageSite now available as a fast and secure way for the rest of the Eriez organization to search, view, markup, print and collaborate both internally and with outside vendors, suppliers and customers.
