Online catalog builder

The online catalog builder is the work environment for the catalog generation tool – for importing data and compiling, testing, sharing, and distributing catalogs. This tool can:

  • ✓ Create catalog projects and configure catalogs – including user-defined database, display, and sort fields
  • ✓ Initiate data imports (master data, drawings, hierarchical parts lists) via drag and drop
  • ✓ Partly or fully automatically generate hotspots and catalogs
  • ✓ Update catalogs with new data
  • ✓ Edit, test and approve catalogs in the development, test, and production environments
  • ✓ Distribute catalogs – to be publicly accessible or for defined user groups

Highlights

  • ✓ Smart import: all related data is automatically identified and imported
  • ✓ Batch processing: automatic data imports in batch
  • ✓ Separate environments for development (data import and configuration) and productive operation, release for online publication with one click
Electronic spare parts catalog software SpareParts365 components - Hotspot

OCRHotspot

OCRHotspot is a desktop application for partly or fully automated generation of hotspots for 2D pixel graphics: For each part of an assembly drawing, the position number is used to create a link to the parts list and saved in an attribute file, including the coordinates. This removes the time-consuming process of manually entering this data in parts-list tables.

OCRHotspot offers:

  • ✓ OCR character recognition including font size recognition – fully automated or interactive as preferred
  • ✓ Option to exclude certain areas (e.g. footnotes)
  • ✓ Powerful validation functions
  • ✓ Ability to recognize and store relative coordinates – making the data usable regardless of the drawing resolution
  • ✓ Ability to generate an attribute file with the hotspot data in multiple formats, including XML

Highlights

  • ✓ Very powerful OCR text recognition with only minimal manual post-processing required
  • ✓ Flexible polygons: lines can be used to define areas of any shape in the assembly drawing – not just squares, circles, or ellipses
  • ✓ A smart system that learns as you use it – an important feature for old drawings: typefaces that are hard to automatically recognize only have to be manually trained just once, as OCRHotspot learns with you – and applies what it learns to all variations (size, formatting, etc.)
  • ✓ Easy to configure

  • ✓ Print function
