It helps our customers make better decisions anytime and anywhere. From our customers who beta tested the app, use cases span automotive, industrial equipment and consumer goods industries, such as:<BR \/><UL><BR \/>\t<LI>A large automotive OEM accessing a vehicle\u2019s engineering information in plants and in service bays at a car dealership.<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI>A heavy equipment manufacturer servicing large equipment right on the machine with an iPad in tow to diagnose problems.<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI>A consumer product manufacturer servicing machines in and around the manufacturing equipment.<\/LI><BR \/><\/UL><BR \/>One highlight of the app several beta customers found useful is the ability to quickly load a JT file for viewing on the go.<BR \/><BR \/><STRONG>Top Ten<\/STRONG><BR \/><BR \/>Here are the top 10 highlights of the app you might find useful:<BR \/><OL><BR \/>\t<LI>Use the app in any of 13 different languages (same as in Teamcenter).<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI>Work equally well in online (connected to Teamcenter) and off-line modes.<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI>View JT models from Teamcenter or anywhere on the Internet.<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI> Search and navigate Teamcenter with effective filtering and sorting.<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI>Perform multi-signoff in a single action for similar tasks.<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI>View custom attributes based on roles or job specifications.<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI>Use interactive pie charts for Tasks and Change items.<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI>Send in-context e-mail about any item or opened attachment.<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI>Synchronize favorites set on the mobile device with your Teamcenter server.<\/LI><BR \/>\t<LI>View tasks and workflow using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) viewer with embedded comments.<\/LI><BR \/><\/OL><BR \/><STRONG>Mobile Commentary<\/STRONG><BR \/><BR \/>Chad Jackson noted recently in a post on <A href=\"http:\/\/www.engineering-matters.com\/2011\/01\/state-of-paperless\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">paperless manufacturing<\/A>, that \u201cinternal networks have gone wireless\u201d and \u201cmulti-touch tablets have dramatically lowered the ease-of-use barrier for shop floor operators.\u201d He added \u201cwe need more PLM client apps on tablets specifically to enable participation in workflows and electronic signoffs.\u201d<BR \/><BR \/><STRONG> <\/STRONG><BR \/><BR \/>Outside of the plants and field work examples above, mobile executives impact the product development process.
