DesignBase victor

DesignBase victor is a comprehensive and versatile image and archive multi-user database software system developed by EAT. The system is designed to efficiently manage and organize large collections of design files, making it an essential tool for textile CAD and CAM systems. In addition to supporting the proprietary EAT format, the system is fully capable of handling a variety of standard image formats such as TIFF, BMP, and JPEG, as well as the primary design formats used by other leading textile CAD/CAM systems. This broad compatibility ensures ease of integration and flexibility across different design workflows and software environments.

  • Data access can be configured and controlled at various levels, including different categories, attributes, and permission restrictions, allowing administrators to specify tailored access rights for individual users or user groups. This multi-layered security approach helps ensure sensitive or proprietary information remains protected, while still providing authorized personnel with the necessary access to perform their tasks effectively.
  • The designs stored within DesignBase Victor can be viewed and presented in multiple formats to suit different needs, such as overview mode for a quick glance, detailed view for in-depth examination, or repeated view for comparing multiple instances side-by-side. These viewing options improve workflow efficiency and enable users to interact with the designs in a manner best suited to their specific tasks and preferences.
  • It is possible to modify or update the coloration and visual presentation of files directly within the DesignBase system without the need to reopen the files in the original design environment. This feature allows for quick visual adjustments and better organization of files based on color-coding or status indications, streamlining project management and review processes.
  • The system supports the creation of customized input masks and documentation sheets that contain all essential information related to each design. These forms can be tailored to include specific data fields relevant to the user’s operational requirements, facilitating better documentation, record keeping, and easy retrieval of detailed design information.
  • The latest AI-powered search functionality significantly enhances the ability to locate relevant files by analyzing and matching based on shapes, visual properties, or other image features. This shape-based and visual property-based retrieval system helps users find similar designs quickly and accurately, reducing search times and increasing overall productivity when managing large design archives.

LoomNet victor

LoomNet victor is a sophisticated server software system designed and developed by EAT. It serves as a reliable conduit for the seamless transfer of JC card files (JC5/EP) to controllers from Stäubli and Bonas, ensuring efficient and accurate communication between design and production machinery. The system is optimized for minimal access times, providing quick and dependable data transfer to prevent delays in the manufacturing process. It offers extensive customization options, allowing users to configure LoomNet according to their specific operational needs and workflow preferences. This individual configurability helps optimize the system’s performance and user experience for each unique production environment.

  • The system facilitates easy organization of your entire production workflow, integrating details such as weavers, shifts, and machines, which allows for streamlined management and scheduling.
  • Access permissions can be granted on different levels and can include various restrictions tailored for individual users or user groups, enhancing security and operational control.
  • LoomNet automatically combines JC files with the corresponding loom setups immediately upon input, prior to transfer, ensuring that all configurations are correctly aligned without manual intervention.
  • It offers a customized JC-Controller dialogue specifically tailored for Stäubli controllers, simplifying parameter setup and management for operators.
  • The system supports horizontal name weaving, which simplifies the process of labeling woven orders directly within the system, thus improving identification and traceability.
  • Interface connectivity is available for integrating with PPS/ERP systems, enabling a smooth flow of order data and production information across enterprise platforms.
  • Built-in statistics and reporting tools allow users to evaluate machine performance, specifically focusing on controller-registered downtimes, thereby facilitating maintenance planning and efficiency improvements.
  • The new order composition tool enables detailed input of texts or objects — such as customer names or design details — allowing high levels of customization for weaved products, especially handy for personalized series.
