Technology company eQuorum has unveiled significant enhancements to its engineering document management solutions, focusing on streamlining workflow automation and data management with the release of Version 12.2. The new version introduces several key features across its ImageSite and EngineBox platforms, targeting industries including manufacturing, facilities management, utilities, energy, and architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC).
A primary innovation is the Data List Management functionality, which enables engineering, construction, and purchasing teams to create customized data lists for projects. These lists can include master document registries, vendor requirements, transmittals, and bills of materials, all centrally managed and accessible. The update also introduces QR Code Data Linking, allowing users to associate specific data lists with QR codes that can be printed and scanned on equipment or infrastructure. This feature enables quick mobile access to relevant documents and data without requiring additional software applications.
Enhanced workflow management capabilities include improved document control through step actions and SQL filtering. Users can now create parallel workflows, facilitating faster decision-making and accommodating last-minute changes and multi-disciplinary reviews. A new Document Information Pane provides comprehensive visibility into document details, including markups, notes, and approval statuses. This feature aims to expedite review and approval processes across organizations.
CEO Scott Brandt emphasized the update's focus on workflow management and automation, noting that the new features enable greater operational discipline and efficiency by integrating work package requirements and generating automated notifications and reports. Version 12.2 is scheduled for release in February 2025, representing eQuorum's continued commitment to advancing engineering document management technology. The implications of this announcement are significant for industries that rely on complex documentation, as the enhanced automation and mobile accessibility features could reduce project delays, improve compliance, and lower operational costs by minimizing manual data handling and accelerating approval cycles.
