TactonWorks
I just spent almost two hours in a webmeeting, and on the phone (thank God AT&T has rollover minutes!), with Matt Cummins from TactonWorks. I have to say, in all honesty, I’m impressed with what I saw.
What/who is TactonWorks? Well, it is Knowledgebased Engineering software. They are part of Tacton Systems AB, and a SolidWorks Gold Partner. Their approach to KBE is a bit different than what you may have seen in the past.
With most KBE systems, the user essentially "programs" the interface. Inputting all the data, what if scenarios and associated error messages. With TactonWorks, the user, for the most part, simply inputs all the pertinent data and TactonWorks provides the answer. Granted, I’m oversimplifying the whole process, but it was pretty impressive nonetheless.
The examples I was shown didn’t appear to be "canned". I know for a fact that one of them wasn’t as the originator of the file is a member of the Blog Squad. Of the demos I did see, and I certainly hope I can mention it here, the Sudoko Puzzle was the most impressive. After inputting two numbers into the puzzle, TactonWorks sovled the remainder of the puzzle for you. You could then randomly change a number and, in about 1.5 seconds, the puzzle would update again. What impressed me most was how few rules were involved. If I remember correctly, it was 10.
I’ve been promised an evaluation copy, I’m just waiting to get my seat of SolidWorks. Once I do, I promise a full and complete review of TactonWorks. So, stay tuned!
