BAE Systems conducted a study that discovered that 80% of employees waste an average of half an hour per day retrieving information, while 60% are spending an hour or more duplicating the work of others. echive can help!

With the implementation of a managed engineering digital archive, searching time as well as re-engineering time becomes past history. This translates into real dollar savings.

These electronic drawings can then be quickly revised, modified, plotted, or copied in a fraction of the time it takes to modify paper designs. The design process can become highly streamlined, providing substantial cost savings, improved product quality, and faster time to market.

How? Scanning paper drawings is the first step. Options then include:

Indexing

- adding property categories which prepares files for document & drawing management. Index TIFF Files

Creating a database

- Scanned drawings and existing electronic files can be easily managed within an echive database. With search, view, redline, print, distribute and publish capability, data is quickly accessible on and off-site. File Database

Raster editing

- maintaining scanned drawings in raster keeps them vendor and version independent. With batch image enhancement, rasterREnew speeds up raster edits. Raster Editor

Vector Conversion

- Get full AutoCAD editing capability by converting raster data to vector with GTX. Vector Conversion
