New Drawing Difference Detection Box From Fuji Xerox to Enhance Accuracy and Productivity of Industrial Drawing Review Process
Wednesday 12. December 2012 - Innovative automation reduces time and human error for engineering, construction and manufacturing professionals
Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific today introduced the Drawing Difference Detection Box, a solution that automates the reviewing and checking process of modifications made to industrial drawings, thereby saving time and resources.
Equipped for use with the Fuji Xerox’s ApeosPort-IV A3 colour multifunction device (MFD), the Drawing Difference Detection Box enhances the efficiency and accuracy in drawing revision work required by the engineering, construction and manufacturing industries. The Drawing Difference Detection Box automatically compares drawings before and after revisions and highlights any changes in colours of choice. With this solution, laborious side-by-side visual checks are eliminated and quality of work improves by reducing review time and possible oversight.
The Drawing Difference Detection Box provides users with the flexibility to either submit drawings via a MFD or import electronic documents into a PC web browser for comparison. The results can be printed out directly without a PC, or output as an electronic file, reducing the time it normally takes per A3 drawing in a visual check from an average of 30 to 40 minutes to about five to 10 minutes.
The new solution offers functions that deliver all-round user benefits, including e-mail notifications to enable users to obtain, examine and delete each comparison result with ease and convenience; management functions to allow users to customise the processing parameters of difference detection and the marking method to generate comparison results as necessary; and job list and history display to check the status of difference detection jobs. Furthermore, the Drawing Difference Detection Box is capable of processing up to 100 pairs of drawings for comparison in a single job and of serving multiple clients in one office.
With the Drawing Difference Detection Box, Fuji Xerox transforms tedious routine work processes to high-output and quality workflow, helping companies resolve business issues such as inefficiency, and allowing engineers and architects to invest time into other critical work demand aspects.
