iSEEK's CADSEEK technology is embedded in six enterprise-grade applications to provide workflow flexibility for different styles and types of work.
Key Users: Design engineers, supply chain and manufacturing personnel.
Key Use Case: All types except database wide analytics (see CADSEEK Analytics below).
Description: Polaris is our flagship application for combined attribute and shape search, and is the go to application to find reuse candidates or access information of existing similar design.
Key Users: Design engineers
Key Use Case: Part Reuse
Description: Adviser allows design engineers to jump directly into CAD (if they don't want to take the time for a reusable part search first). In CAD, Adviser monitors a design session and alerts the designer to existing designs with reuse potential.
Key Users: Windchill users.
Key Use Case: Knowledge access and reuse, such as cost or supplier information.
Description: The CADSEEK Integration for PLMs embeds shape-search directly into the PLM environment.
Key Users: Engineering data managers, IT department and efficiency / six-sigma leaders.
Key Use Cases: Database-wide analysis for efficiency projects.
Description: CADSEEK Analytics provides a fully automated analysis of design similarity across the entire CAD database using the basis of shape to analyze duplication and also metrics correlated with shape such as cost or performance.
Key Users: Manufacturing, distribution, field services, parts counters and customers.
Key Use Cases: part identification and finding substitute parts.
Description: Inventory often loses its identification during manufacturing or distribution, and service technicians and customers need automated methods for part identification in the field. iDENTIFY utilizes iPad images for part identification, and also finds similar designs for possible substitution.
Key Users: IT staff and custom application developers.
Key Use Case: embedding shape-search into catalogs or quotation systems.
Description: The CADSEEK API allows users to embed CADSEEK search functionality into third-party applications. Common use cases include catalog search, quotation assistance, and PLM duplication sentry.
