Objective
The project aims to address the evolving needs of various business entities operating in the wood sector by providing, developing and customising IT tools necessary to support a number of distinct and mature collaborative activities across the sector. These activities constitute a solid nucleus that may either trigger the formation of new business links or significantly transform and revolutionise the context of established practices and business relationships.
The software platform that will be delivered by the project will support the creation of virtual enterprises for the wood products manufacturing sector by providing functionality for,
- Product development, co-design;
- Product support, documentation and training activities;
- Marketing and promotion of new products.
Besides serving the needs of the particular industrial sectorn, WIT will also,
- Fully adjust to open internet standards and protocols and to modern component based crossware development, ie deployable to any number of external partners running on any client operating system;
- Guarantee a 'genericity' of the products, in order to permit their exploitation to other industrial sectors where internet-based data exchange and 3D design across the value-chain may potentially be part of every day business.
In its technological dimension the project will be based on internet computing. Of primary importance is the adoption of VRML2 as the standard for the description, design, manipulation and visualisation of 3D objects. The project will monitor closely the developments in the ISO STEP standard and its adoption in the manufacturing industries. It will integrate such technology with VRML 2 and CAD packages. The project's technical development will be based on existing software the partners already have and on commercial off-the shelve products.
