Right Hemisphere introduced its Right Hemisphere 5 platform, an integrated suite of visual product communication and collaboration programs. The software eliminates various inefficiencies in collaboration and helps manufacturers get their products and support materials to market faster.
The software integrates with major product data management and product lifecycle management (PLM) systems, and enables the re-use of accurate and up-to-date product information. The software also automates the delivery of product information to anyone in the extended enterprise and in whatever format is required, including corporate document standards such as Adobe® PDF® and Microsoft® Office. This means users across the extended enterprise including sourcing, sales and marketing, manufacturing, training, and service and support functions can rapidly and painlessly incorporate visual product information into their deliverables.
“Leading manufacturers point to successful product launches as critical to their market and revenue growth strategy, yet barely one-third feel this process is under control. The challenge is that [a] product launch is a cross-functional business process that requires seamless execution across the groups responsible for defining market demand, designing new products, and supplying and servicing customers,” according to Michael Burkett, a vice president at AMR Research in the report titled The CIO’s Guide the PERFECT Product Launch. The report also states, “…Unfortunately because application technology providers have remained siloed in their own areas of expertise, the inhibited flow of information between these domains has limited the responsiveness product launch teams require.”
Right Hemisphere 5 platform solves various communication and collaborationproblems across functional silos, customers, and partners. The platform includes new releases of Right Hemisphere’s software stack, including improvements and feature additions to its Deep Exploration™ client and Deep Server™ enterprise software.
Right
Hemisphere 5 software automates the delivery of product information in
whatever format is required, including Adobe® PDF® and Microsoft®
Office. Engineers can rapidly and easily incorporate visual product
information into their deliverables.
Features include:
• Technical illustration capabilities such as detailed view creation, symbols, new and improved line style materials, WebCGM output, 3D true type fonts, legacy illustration sheet support, thrust line generation, and improved Adobe PDF callouts.
• Added external workflow support for post editing and collaboration processes to make PDF creation flexible and powerful.
• Advanced parts and bill of materials (BOM) management, including metadata display and editing tools to make the management process easier and the documents more information rich.
• Updated measurement tools that respond faster to commands, and include angle, volume, and surface area measurements.
• Assembly and part workflows that allow merged parts to have materials and animations automatically applied, saving rework time.
• S1000 compliant 2D and 3D symbol libraries to simplify S1000D document creation.
The Right Hemisphere 5 platform also offers 3D PDF publishing. You can automatically author and publish rich, interactive 3D PDF files without requiring JavaScript® programming knowledge. You can merge product manufacturing information (PMI) and key metadata from external sources with 3D models and publish them in a unified PDF file.
“3D PDF is emerging as a de facto standard for secure, dependable information exchange in documents that contain interactive 3D and CAD data,” said Tom Hale, senior vice president
of Adobe’s Knowledge Worker Solutions Business Unit.
Right Hemisphere 5 Deep Exploration, Deep Publish, and Deep View client software are available in the Right Hemisphere e-store. Deep Publish allows you to more easily publish, view, and share 2D and 3D graphics into Microsoft Office and Adobe® Acrobat® applications; and will be offered as a free download. Deep View is a free viewer that lets you view and interact with these 2D and 3D graphics in Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, or Excel. Deep Server will be generally available in early summer, 2007.
Various features and enhancements let engineers collaborate accurately and easily.
