Engineering VisualizationIs a method of representing large amounts of complex data in ways that are easierto understand, analyze and enables better decision making.Humans perceive visual patternsThink about an object that attaches one or more other objects viaan inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis.Wouldn’t a picture of a screw be easier to understand? 2014 - IBM Corporation – Global Solution Center3
Challenges Enterprises Face Today Product and design data reside on users workstations, making itdifficult to secure and share with others in real time. Extensive file sharing and data synchronization across numerousdesign centers no longer sufficient to support real time global designefforts. Accessing designs on factory floors or in the field to make a simpleedit or analyze a change in real time is challenging. Sharing product and design data with partners and suppliers comeswith increased risk of IP theft. 2014 - IBM Corporation – Global Solution Center
