Avatech Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:AVSO.OB - News), the nationwide technology experts for design, engineering, and facilities management, announced today the launch of a new product developed by their Software Development Solutions Group. Avatech Product Browser works with Autodesk® Productstream(TM) to give departments that are downstream from engineering easy, visual access to product designs and maintenance drawings. Those downstream users can make quicker, more accurate decisions that can affect a product's time to market or production line maintenance.
"We are continuously innovating by working closely with our customers to solve their business problems and uncover new ways to unlock potential," said Matt Mason, Director of Software Development Solutions at Avatech. "During several Productstream implementations for customers, our application engineers recognized the need for a tool that helps all departments be more responsive to product design and maintenance issues, and cut time spent on cumbersome tasks."
Product Browser extends the value of product development information captured in Productstream by making it available to additional groups in a manufacturing organization. Graphical navigation capabilities give people the ability to visually search, reducing the time it takes to identify the right part for maintenance or customer service purposes, or to find the right drawing for the shop floor or procurement. Users can even drill down into components from an assembly to access exactly what they need. The new product also allows manufacturing professionals to search by simply typing in a part number to access associated drawings, models, and documentation such as spreadsheets and Microsoft Word documents.
"Manufacturers are under pressure to meet tighter schedules with fewer resources--and the market is only getting more competitive," said Greg Dohrman, Product Lifecycle Management Leader at Avatech. "Those who empower departments downstream from engineering to respond faster to product development issues can help avoid downtime and missed deadlines."
To further simplify access to product development information, Product Browser uses a familiar, browser-like interface. Batch printing capabilities let users skip the process of building print jobs one drawing at a time. Users are also alerted to pending revisions and can only gain access to released models and drawings, providing further assurance that the part manufactured is the up-to-date model.
"Product Browser is another example of Avatech's commitment to developing and providing our manufacturing customers with solutions to further help them use technology as a competitive advantage," said Scott Hale, Director of Manufacturing Solutions at Avatech.

Avatech sells Product Browser for US$1,250 for a five-user license, which includes a one-year maintenance and support contract.
