LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2015--
Autodesk University – Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) today
announced Autodesk SeeControl, a comprehensive new platform powering the
Internet of Things that allows customers to capture, analyze and use
data from remote products. Acquired by Autodesk in September 2015, the
new SeeControl offering will help manufacturers gain competitive
advantage by optimizing their existing products and capturing the
intelligence required to offer their customers innovative new services.
“The future of making products in the machinery and specialty vehicles
industries is changing quickly and the expectations for online services
have increased,” said Brian Roepke, senior director of Product Lifecycle
Management and Internet of Things at Autodesk. “The addition of
SeeControl to the Autodesk line of IoT services will help businesses
gain competitive advantage by optimizing existing products and capturing
the necessary intelligence to offer their customers new services.”
The Internet of Things refers to the growing ecosystem of physical
things embedded with electronics, software, and sensors that are
connected to the Internet and to each other. When these things are
products sold to end customers, manufacturers can gather and stream data
about how they are being used to offer valuable insights, allowing them
to respond to the needs of their markets and individual customers.
Connected products also create new insights for the people who design
and make them, helping companies better understand their use and improve
them over time.
For several years, manufacturers have been developing, manufacturing and
bringing connected products to market using Autodesk cloud services like Fusion
360 and PLM
360. Now, with the addition of Autodesk SeeControl, the company has
bolstered its cloud-based Product Innovation Platform with analytics
that will enable its customers to achieve smarter, more predictive
monitoring and achieve greater competitive separation.
Autodesk SeeControl allows manufacturers to monitor how their
product performs in the real world and use live data to optimize future
versions. They can keep products running at peak levels, identify
potential for failure before it happens and schedule maintenance
downtime when it is least disruptive. Ultimately, manufacturers can
bring their customers a level of enhanced services based on information
about real world product performance and consumption.
SeeControl is different from other products of its kind because:
-
It’s a true multi-tenant cloud solution, which allows companies to get
up and running in minutes.
-
It’s device and communication protocol agnostic, meaning companies are
not tied to a single standard.
-
It’s easy to use, with no-coding and drag-and-drop tools for device
communications, data analytics, visualization and business.
“Since the acquisition, Autodesk has moved aggressively to further
develop SeeControl by connecting it with core Autodesk services such as
3D visualization,” said Roepke. “Bringing the live data from SeeControl
into our engineering tools will better inform the next generation of
designs and empower SeeControl customers in ways that weren’t previously
possible before.”
“We’re excited about adopting Autodesk SeeControl because of the many
ways it can help us grow our business and provide unparalleled service
to our customers,” said David Keeley, Engineering Manager at TSM Control
Systems. “In just a matter of days, we were able to connect to
SeeControl and begin extracting value from live data collected from one
of our products. We’re looking forward to what SeeControl will help us
accomplish in the future.”
