The web-based Deep Access™ digital media asset management (MAM) software works with Right Hemisphere’s Deep Server™ process automation system to deliver a unified, searchable repository of 2D, 3D and related media assets and metadata. Together these programs can automatically generate a full spectrum of product graphics derivatives and documents for all participants involved in a company’s development, manufacturing, promotion and support processes. With Deep Access, assets can be corralled and organized into categories, folders, and assembly structures. It even manages assets and metadata across multiple entities and geographies.
“With the proliferation of 3D and related product data, we see manufacturers struggle to efficiently store, find, manage, and distribute their digital assets,” said Mark Thomas,
president, founder and CTO at Right Hemisphere. “As companies continue to involve third parties in all aspects of product design, manufacturing, marketing and support, they must be able to share their assets as well as view and mark them up with their partners and customers. Deep Access will help these companies share their assets easily and securely, as well as eliminate wasted time spent searching for and recreating assets. The net effect of Deep Access is that all participants involved in the product lifecycle can be more effective and efficient.”
“We plan to integrate Deep Access,” said Steve Lewis, Manager of Simulation at Bell Helicopter, a Textron company. “We routinely share 3D content across various enterprise functions using Deep Server Web as a communications enabler for value-added derivatives and vendor information as well as source CAD data. We believe Deep Access will enable us to stream live updates into our integrated communications flow.”
IDC Manufacturing Insights stated in its Theory & Practice Newsletter, “As companies evolve and mature social networking and collaboration, they will amass large amounts of not only structured product data, but also unstructured data pertaining to products, suppliers and customers. Searching in this corpus of knowledge will be the next challenge of PLM 2.0 tools.” *
To help tackle this next challenge of PLM 2.0 tools, Deep Access:
— Amalgamates multiple computer-aided design (CAD), digital media assets, and metadata from multiple sources into one easy to use interface for anyone to access
— Organizes all CAD data and other media assets into categories, folders, and assembly structures
— Automatically displays CAD and multimedia files with relevant metadata and associations
— Maintains full version control of assets with check-in and check-out procedures
— Automatically creates “derivative graphics” – new forms of source graphics — for preview, collaboration and downstream uses
— Enables collaborative viewing and markup of 2D and 3D CAD files, images and other assets
