Tecnomatix Launches EM-Insight, Providing Unmatched Versatility for Sharing Web-Based Inspections Data



Market's Only Data Source-Neutral Tolerance Management and Statistical Process Control Product Broadens Company's eMPower for Quality Offering

HERZLIA, Israel - December 15, 2003 - Tecnomatix Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: TCNO), the driving force in Manufacturing Process Management (MPM), today launched eM-Insight, a data source-neutral tolerance management and statistical process control (SPC) product that offers a unique way for manufacturing companies to share and distribute parts inspection data throughout the organization. With its secure, Web-based data access model, eM-Insight enables manufacturing and design engineers to collaborate with shop floor engineers to identify and solve mission-critical manufacturing quality issues. eM-Insight is a part of the Tecnomatix eMPower(TM) suite of MPM solutions, and a key component of the eMPower for Quality production monitoring offering. eMPower for Quality helps manufacturers define, analyze, measure and control dimensional quality information across the enterprise.

eM-Insight, which is available immediately, allows users inside the enterprise to use standard Web browsers to share and graphically review parts inspection data, perform sophisticated root-cause analysis to identify 'out-of-tolerance' errors and chart historical data trends. eM-Insight is the only product currently on the market that is data source-neutral, unlike other solutions that provide access only to proprietary internal data.

Among the key features of eM-Insight are:

o Full support for international (ASME and ISO) geometric dimensioning and tolerance standards

o Full re-analysis of collected data

o Web-based reporting with SPC package

o 3D graphics linked to report content, with numbers in report linked to 3D image

o Report mark-up

o Query for data selection

o Industry-standard data format - Dimensional Markup Language (DML)

o Central data repository

"Tecnomatix created and developed eM-Insight with close cooperation and insight from our customers and is, thus, a real solution for real customer needs," said Harel Beit-On, chairman and CEO of Tecnomatix Technologies. "We are confident that eM-Insight stands apart for its customer-driven attention to key details, such as 3D geometry, SPC capabilities and other innovative features. It is truly a next-generation solution and, along with our recent acquisition of USDATA and its shop floor-focused products, is a key part of our commitment to continue extending the reach of our leadership eMPower solutions onto the shop floor."
