Autonomy for Manufacturing

Manufacturers such as Agilent, BAE and Ford depend on Autonomy for overall product information management. This means IDOL supports manufacturers throughout the product lifecycle. IDOL helps professionals leverage existing part and design information, understand where particular parts and assemblies are used, determine the impact of engineering changes and collaborate more effectively with suppliers and internal team members. Autonomy's advanced integration of classification data from all systems (PLM, ERP, ECM, Requirements Management, Design and Supplier Management) combined with concept-based search produces results for global product related content that can be rapidly navigated and understood by novice and expert users across all departments.

Key Capabilities

Conceptual Search

Built on a unique pattern-recognition technology, Autonomy's core engine enables a manual or fully automated precise means of matching and identifying the similarity of pieces of information. Autonomy allows content to be searched simultaneously in any language and any format, wherever it is stored, and presented with summaries and hyperlinks to similar information, automatically and in real-time.

Universal Access to All Information

Federated search across all the applications used internally by manufacturers is frequently not sufficient. It does not provide the real-time updates, security management, and access to multiple data issues that administrators must handle. Nor does it provide the rapid results, parametric drill-down and guided navigation that users find essential to working with large volumes of varied content. Autonomy's attribute-level integration with proprietary applications such as Agile, Autodesk, DOORS, LiveLink, MatrixOne/Enovia, TCE, SAP and UGS is critical to providing meaningful results from content integrated across these multiple solutions.

Security

IDOL honors the respective application-specific security and access rights while still providing scalability for both volume of content and simultaneous access by a high volume of users.

Legacy Investment Protection

IDOL supports access to information that resides in legacy data repositories, which protects your investment in these systems while enabling the continued use of the specialized functionality that's required for select stages of the production process. IDOL's legacy investment protection also reduces training costs because manufacturing professionals can use a single intuitive and familiar user interface for information access.

Directed Navigation

Users from various departments need an intuitive method to access and retrieve information from the many applications that manage product specifications, requirements, design data, customer support records, engineering change orders and supplier relationship information. Directed Navigation allows for the integration of all data and product-related content from these systems so it can be rapidly understood by users, regardless of their level of familiarity with the native applications.

Autonomy also enables:

Full-text search on all objects, metadata and text within document form multiple systems

Mapped classification of indexed data from all systems; ability to navigate/browse multiple categories and interrelated classification schemes simultaneously

Dynamic filtering based on parametric data

Management of incremental updates

Automatic Hyperlinking, Agents, Personalization

IDOL completely removes the need to manually insert hyperlinks into content. IDOL automatically inserts links at the time a document is viewed so users can view references to documents and articles written long before. Archived material can also include links to the latest news or related material. Autonomy's automatic profiling solutions enable organizations to accurately understand individuals' interests based on browsing, content consumption or content contribution in an Autonomy environment. Generating a multi-faceted conceptual profile of each user based on both explicit profiles (agents) and implicit profiles (click-thru and submission), this then represents a very current understanding of the users' interests with no need for explicit input of any form from the user.
