Rapiscan Uses Autodesk Vault to Collaborate on Security Products

By DE Editors

Rapiscan Systems is using Autodesk software to enable its engineers to collaborate in the creation of the company’s security products. Autodesk Inventor digital prototyping software and Autodesk Vault product data management software help Rapiscan foster teamwork among a globally distributed group of engineers working together on the Rapiscan Real Time Tomography (RTT) scanner.

The RTT80 is a security scanner that provides 3D images capable of being rotated and viewed from virtually any angle. Because the RTT80 contains thousands of parts and requires collaboration from multiple teams in multiple locations, Autodesk Vault product data management software provides a solution for the Rapiscan team to track and manage data.

“Autodesk Vault helps us be more systematized with file location, file control and file sharing without risking damage to them,” said Bally Panesar, global director, Mechanical Engineering at Rapiscan. “Since we now use Autodesk Vault as a central hub for all our data, we no longer have to worry about accidentally overwriting files or wonder whether or not our manufacturing team is receiving the most up-to-date versions.”
