Add Visual Collaboration support!
Hello Angela, could you please elaborate on your requirements of visual collaboration?
Hi Pranavp,
when your target is a mobile application, it´s important to think about use cases for a mobile application.
From my POV the focus should be to get relevant information from the system and communication. I don´t think people will use a mobile application to actually add/edit big product structures. Just image the Express ECOs Impact Matrix grid on your smartphone.
What I would do with a mobile application:
- Get the status of a product
- Get Working Instructions (MBOM, TechDocs, Files)
- Vote for change processes
- Get (visualized) Reports like performance diagrams
- Add a remark to an item with Visual Collaboration
- Get (effective) BOM. Image a support person is standing in front of a product. This person don´t need the engineering BOM. He need the BOM of this product his is looking at. What is in the product right now?
- Lets image our support person now replaces one broken Part. We want to achieve full live-cycle tracability. So the support person should be able document his work (MRO!)
- The support person of course also want to take a picture with his smartphone about a problem on site and add this one to a new Problem Report
Many of the use cases are of course similar to Aras Flow. But it reflects the daily PLM work :-)
Hello Angela,
excellent feedback and elaboration !!
Will certainly to incorporate most of your suggestions in the app
