Customization and Automation services combine expertise in CAD technology, and software development to offer tailor-made solutions for specific applications. The programmable features available in the respective CAD software like Pro/Toolkit, J-Link, UFUNC, GRIP, OPEN-IDEAS and ObjectARX are fine-tuned to the customer's specifications.
Programming languages like C, C++, Java, VB are used to create interfaces or to develop independent applications. eC takes up development of CAD tools using kernels like Parasolid and ACIS and interfacing with libraries like OpenGL. eC also takes up development projects in CAD-Web integration, CAD automation, etc.
PGSL’s abilities and understanding of local resources make a strong partner to get into working relationships with the product companies. The service areas include: |
|
Software development using complex geometry algorithms |
|
Nesting software, material optimization technologies, and rectangular
nesting software solutions (e.g. glass cutting, sheet metal fabrication and sheet layout) |
|
User Interface Design and Product Customization |
|
Graphics Software Systems |
|
Applications embedded into CAD Systems like CATIA, SDRC, Pro/E, UG |
|
FEM and Kinematical Simulation |
|

PGSL gets into working as a single virtual team with partner/customer staff or undertakes the development on a completely out-sourced basis - with little or no participation of partner/customer. It all depends on concrete requirements and considerations during the engagement planning process. Typical activities that would be handled mostly by partner/customer staff may include: Functional Specifications and User Help System. Activities handled by PGSL staff may include: Detailed System Design and Coding. Some activities are shared, including: Application Architecture and Quality Assurance |

(For Product design, marketing, sales, maintenance and support teams) |
Product Catalogue
The product catalogue can be prepared in VRML with virtual simulation of product including demonstration of various parts to virtual test drive over any road conditions in the context of an automobile. This will be an efficient and effective tool for marketing &sales teams, dealers, and service franchisees who can help customers understand the product,life cycle, faults, repairs and maintenance. |
| |
Product Maintenance Manual
Product maintenance manual can take a digital version in addition to print version, where the VRML gets embedded into pdf files with all functionality within the format and/or on the product website. Alternatively, manual can be published on a CDROM. Customers can directly view, review, play (simulate in real-time) with the interactive tools and get to know most of the information about the product and its maintenance. |
| |
Design communication during product life cycle
Although most of the design engineering software allows VRML translation, design teams may not have explored the complete advantages in general. Team can communicate across the enterprise over the Internet without actually having specific software native to their systems or place of work. Designers or concerned individuals in the product making on the move can make use of the flexibility that VRML can offer in terms of accessibility from anywhere, anytime. |
