Engineering Metadata Management Software ID: 2014-053

An innovative software solution designed to manage engineering metadata in multi-user projects, enhancing accuracy and efficiency.

Technology Overview

This software invention revolutionizes the management of engineering metadata within collaborative environments. Developed with support from the National Science Foundation, it specifically targets the storage and dynamic display of metadata for large engineering assemblies. Its core functionality includes providing preliminary estimates for essential project metrics such as weight and cost, which refine over time. By integrating seamlessly with CAD systems, it caters to the complex needs of tracking and updating project requirements in real-time, offering a significant leap over current methodologies which often fall short in accuracy and adaptability.

Key Advantages

• Enhanced accuracy in preliminary estimates that improve over time
• Seamless integration with existing CAD systems for efficient metadata management
• Capability to handle metadata of varying fidelity, offering flexibility in project planning and execution
• Provides a more conservative and reliable approach to estimating project metrics compared to existing systems

Problems Addressed

• Complexity of managing engineering metadata in collaborative, multi-user environments
• Difficulty in tracking and updating critical project requirements like weight and cost in real-time
• Inaccuracy of existing systems in providing reliable preliminary estimates for large engineering projects

Market Applications

• Integration with CAD software for engineering design and project management
• Project estimation and planning tools for engineering firms and departments
• Data management solutions for large-scale engineering projects requiring real-time collaboration
