Inforbix has announced a new cloud product data solution for manufacturing, Product Data Apps: “The revolutionary cloud-centric service helps engineers, project managers and other team members quickly and easily find, re-use, and share product data from disparate sources and file types.” Inforbix CEO Oleg Shilovitsky stated, “Money and time are wasted because most product data management professionals cannot locate the specific information needed without a manual search. Our system makes it easy for an engineer to pinpoint designs, specifications, and even quality control data with a mouse click. After extensive validation, we learned that as much as 40 percent of productive engineering time is wasted in data management activities. Inforbix reduces much of that wasted time.”

The article adds, “Issues that arise from time lost searching for the right product data in a timely basis can result in substantial waste, errors, rework, cost increases, and delays. The Inforbix Product Data Apps addresses this problem by reducing barriers to product data access and increasing the speed with which product data can be located and used. According to Stephen E Arnold, an expert in online information systems, ‘The Inforbix system extracts value from product data without the time-wasting hunt for data. Traditional product data management systems do not match the needs of today’s fast-cycle engineering processes. The Inforbix approach is revolutionary.’”
