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.”
