Supercar goes on the server by Gavin Hadland Jul 3 1997 3:46AM CST, The Times of London AN IT project worth Pounds 6.25 million is creating a collaborative environment for Jaguar's 1,000 design engineers in the Midlands. The luxury car manufacturer has added 50 Silicon Graphics workstations and 13 new desktop servers to its network. There are now more than 150 Silicon Graphics seats at the company's engineering centre, which will give its employees all the computing tools they need to do their job interactively. Roger Staines, Jaguar technical services manager, says: "We are heading towards a position where we can exploit collaborative engineering to work together with colleagues and suppliers around the globe." The latest acquisition will vastly reduce the amount of machine- sharing time and generate a massive leap in data-sharing. Howard Rippiner, Silicon Graphics marketing manager says: "Visualisation is a key technology that can create significant competitive advantage. SiliconWorks solutions provide the tools for analysing products as 3- D models. These models can be rotated, taken apart, the colours changed and so on. Teleconferencing facilities now mean engineers can discuss them without having to be together." The systems allow the rapid sharing of design information, which means fewer physical prototypes have to be made and better products come to market faster and for less money. The technology also enhances effective design, Rippiner says. "Airbags can be designed to be safer. Also you can minimise a car's weight for a given strength through this technology. Metal can be taken out without reducing a car's strength, and if the weight is reduced fuel consumption is more economical."
