Sovelia Vault - How it benefits my Document Management Processes

Earlier this year, Excitech was acquired by Symetri, which has brought many benefits to both organisations. One is that we are now both able to provide our customers with access to an additional portfolio of tools and applications to help our customers work smarter.

Within the product design and lifecycle space, there is a suite of tools on the Sovelia platform that allows you to manage and distribute product information over the complete product’s lifecycle.

One of the new tools available is Sovelia Vault which works alongside Autodesk Vault, allowing you to automate design process tasks and extend the Autodesk Vault functionality to increase company data standards compliance and extend productivity.

Here are some of the key features of Sovelia Vault:

Publishing to other formats – Autodesk Vault includes PDF and DWF but Sovelia Vault extends this to include other formats. STEP, SAT, DXF, DWG, and 3D PDF area available with many configurable options allowing you to control where and how these files are generated.

Digital signing – User details can be automatically pushed to documents on state change to allow checkers and approvers to ‘sign’ drawings. It is possible to configure 2 and 4 eye checks to ensure authors, checkers, and approvers are different people.

Email notification – There is a built-in email notification on state change to alert users when actions are required in the lifecycle process.

Property management – Sovelia Vault enables you to automatically fill and clear properties appropriate to the current lifecycle state.

BOM Export – Export BOM information automatically to formats such as XML and CSV to collaborate with downstream purchasing and production systems.
