European Space Agency boosts collaboration through visualization
Étude de cas
Challenge: The European Space Agency is Europe’s gateway to space. Its new Concurrent Design Facility (CDF), located in the Netherlands, is at the heart of ESA’s conceptual design philosophy, and wanted to foster more effective collaboration between all parties involved in the design process.
Solution: Barco implemented a three-channel CADWall system with an XDS-1000 display management system. The award-winning XDS-1000 runs the XDS Control Center software suite, which allows users to control all sources simultaneously with mouse and keyboard in a Windows desktop environment. It is also fully networked, and enables the engineers in the design facility to upload their designs to the display wall, as well as retrieve designs from it. In addition, the XDS-1000 makes it possible to view 2D and 3D stereo information at the same time.
Why Barco: Mr Massimo Bandecchi, Head of ESA’s Concurrent Engineering Section and the Concurrent Design Facility states: “With its multi-windowing and 3D capabilities, the Barco CADWall has allowed us to improve our concurrent design process, particularly with regards to our interfacing with engineers via video conference. We have managed to integrate a complex audio visual, state-of-the-art system into a user friendly, multi-disciplinary design environment”
