The “The intelligent form”

A “smart shape” is an intelligent form that utilizes a combination of different technologies to create a comprehensive model. This approach includes the use of 3D mockups, 2D plans, photogrammetry, and business data such as spreadsheets, APIs, sensors, ERP, PLM, and MES. Moreover, the “smart shape” also integrates code such as processes, instrumentation, data mining, conversational artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

The aim of this all-in-one, 360-degree, universal solution is to leverage existing data from a project without having to switch tools. By using a “smart shape”, professionals can have an overarching view of their project and all the associated data. This allows them to make more informed decisions and work more efficiently by using a single platform for all their data.

 

The Form:

  •  SmartShape is an intelligent shape that can be used to integrate a variety of data formats, such as 2D, 3D, CAD, CADD, photogrammetry, and many others. It is compatible with all CAD software, such as Catia, SolidWorks, Revit, Microstation, as well as with all types of data sources or models, such as PLM, PDM, MES, spreadsheets, sensors, and more.
  • SmartShape is designed to be easily integrated into a wide range of systems and is available as an open API based on web standards, such as HTTP/2 and JSON. Moreover, it is easily accessible via any web browser, such as Firefox, Chrome, without the need for additional installation or download.
  • With SmartShape, professionals can seamlessly integrate different data sources and file formats into a single system. This allows users to work more efficiently, save time, and reduce errors related to data transfers between different systems. In addition, the open API of “SmartShape” allows users to customize their experience and adapt it according to their specific needs.

 

 

Business Data:

  • SmartShape is capable of interfacing with various types of business data such as spreadsheets, APIs, sensors, ERP, PLM, MES, and more. This means that SmartShape can integrate the most common data in the design and production process, allowing users to have a comprehensive and accurate overview of their project.

The Code

  • SmartShape is an all-in-one solution that facilitates the integration of various types of business data into the design and production process. With this capability, users can gain a comprehensive and accurate overview of their project by seamlessly incorporating data such as spreadsheets, APIs, sensors, ERP, PLM, MES, and much more.
  • Integrating these diverse data sources into SmartShape enables professionals to optimize their workflow and save time by eliminating the tedious tasks of data transfer between different systems. Moreover, this integration aids in making informed decisions by providing a complete overview of the data necessary for the design and production of a project.
  • SmartShape is a powerful tool for professionals looking to enhance their workflow by merging various business data sources into one system. This not only simplifies data management but also optimizes the design and production process, paving the way for more informed decision-making.

 

The Collaboration

  • SmartShape is designed to foster collaboration among the various stakeholders involved in a project. Thanks to its features, users can work online or offline, with a single real-time source of truth, as well as a swift response. 
  • Furthermore, SmartShape allows for the management of access permissions and user profiles, ensuring optimal and secure collaboration among different project participants. 
  • By using SmartShape, users can easily work together and share information in real-time, without fear of losing data or working with outdated versions. This solution also enables them to save time and maximize their productivity by working in a collaborative and coordinated manner. 
  • SmartShape is an effective solution for facilitating smooth and productive collaboration between the various players in a project. It provides a singular working platform for all participants, thereby allowing for harmonious collaboration, streamlined communication, and optimization of work processes.

 

The ‘smart shape’ :

  • SmartShape is an all-in-one, 360-degree, and universal solution that enables the creation of an intelligent shape based on the concept of an augmented digital twin. With its plethora of features, the SmartShape solution is accessible on smartphones, tablets, and the web. 
  • One of the key benefits of SmartShape is its ability to combat digital duplicates that result in the fragmentation of stagnant data and sequential silos. The SmartShape digital twin offers a singular source of truth, real-time processing, and a collaborative network. This means that professionals can work more efficiently and make more informed decisions by using a single platform for all their data.

SmartShape is a solution that enhances the value of existing data in a project without the need to switch tools. It is compatible with all CAD software and every data source or model, making it extremely flexible and easy to incorporate into a wide variety of systems. By using SmartShape, professionals can gain an overarching view of their project and all associated data, allowing them to work more efficiently and make better-informed decisions.
