Aimplas crea un software para la vigilancia tecnológica en el sector del plásticoAimplas creates software for technology watch in the plastics sector
August 30, 2007
Aimplas has developed a software of own creation to automate processes of technology watch under the trade name SoftVT. Technology watch allows technical staff of the company access to the latest scientific and technical information about contrasting sources, constantly monitor their environment: market, legislation, technical standards, etc. Similarly, it provides information for the planning of r & d projects, helping in making strategic decisions for the company.
softVT allows not only the control of a number of sources, but also the generation of various products and services of information through the recovered information, all of them aimed at the detection, management and dissemination of the most recent and up-to-date technology informationthat in many cases can be crucial in making strategic decisions by a company.
softVT is a tool "scalable", versatile, so it has already been used in different sectors (plastic, toy, aeronautics, automotive, envase-embalaje, etc.). Among the possibilities offered by this software, you can list from the web publication of a bulletin of technological developments from an unlimited number of sources, until a full implementation to create and manage an own database and sending newsletters and customized technology alerts.
The added value of softVT is based on that not only track different types of sources of information by detecting and storing relevant documents automatically, but it also incorporates a system of validation, recovery and selective dissemination of information, regardless of their type and content. This is a double advantage, on the one hand it tracks and collects a large amount of sources of information, narrowing to maximize the margin not controlled, and on the other makes such volume of information comparable and easily usable by the company without the need for large investments of time and personal.
