At ITC Infotech we meet relentless pressures to deliver better products faster and at lower cost. We have found a competitive advantage in our most valuable asset – knowledge. By capturing, managing, and sharing and re-using the collective experience and expertise of the organization and apply knowledge to automate many of the product development processes.
|
|
ITC Infotech leverages knowledge which significantly reduces lead time, improve quality and efficiency, and reduce design, engineering, and manufacturing costs. By automating tedious, repetitive tasks, engineering lead times can be reduced from weeks to minutes. Designs can be validated with automated checking to ensure that products meet customer, company and engineering requirements. Company best practices can be captured and re-used to ensure process efficiency and consistency.
Design automation can increase your company’s capacity for innovation.

| Features and Benefits |
|
- Parametric tool tray – quick access to all functionality
- Parametric group lines – detailed definition of parts behavior in even the most complex designs; obviates the need to dimension entire geometry
- In-sheet parametric table creation – quick and efficient variable definition
- In-sheet parametric command texts – customize symbol and model loading with specific prompts to save time and allow for varying skills levels
- Creation of parametric symbol and model files – load and scale on the fly; speed up variant production
- Automatically generated parametric variable dialog - automatically generate a user-friendly input and value validation dialog from variables stored as defaults in a parametric definition sheet
- Post-parameterisation call-backs – complete the design process more quickly by automating repetitive tasks without the need for external programs
- Mechanism simulation – use macros for sophisticated collision testing and quality assurance
- Instance sets – achieve automatic par loading to quickly create assemblies of parametric parts
