Targets manufacturing firms

Chennai , July 6

The Pune-based Indiasoft Technologies and the UK-based software developer Lanner launched Witness 2006, a modelling-cum-simulation software targeted mainly at manufacturing companies in Chennai.

The product has been developed by Lanner and Indiasoft Technologies will distribute and maintain the product in India.

The software will focus on optimising workflow in a manufacturing organisation. Using simulation tools, the software will arrive at the most efficient workflow or process for the company, said Mr R.K. Irani, Director- Operations, Indiasoft Technologies. The company is aiming to address supply chain logistics process that is inefficient in most organisations, he said.

Six modules of the software are available. The basic one "Witness 2006", is a modelling and simulation tool, the next one Optimiser helps optimise results derived from Witness 2006. "We expect to see maximum demand for these two modules," said Mr Irani.

The other modules are Virtual Reality (VR) that helps create a 3D virtual plant complete from inventory to finished product, Documentor (that stores the logic of processes and other results), Witness Miner (for data mining) and Witness SDX (a communicative tool that links Witness with Factory CAD).

Witness 2006 has a standalone and a Network (Enterprise) edition and is priced between Rs 13 lakh and Rs 23 lakh, depending on the modules incorporated.

The company is looking at discrete component manufacturers, specifically in the automotive, mechanical and aerospace division.

Indiasoft's clients include Bajaj Auto, Varroc Group and SKF. The company recently distributed Witness-2006 to eight educational institutes.
