AutoVue Document Print Services

AutoVue enterprise visualization solutions enable users to view, print, and collaborate on any digital information asset stored in enterprise applications. As part of its Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) strategy, AutoVue delivers a series of Web Services which ensure a consistent, flexible and repeatable approach for deploying AutoVue capabilities throughout an organization.

AutoVue Document Print Services deliver a rich set of printing Web Services, which partners, system integrators, and third-party developers can leverage to complement their existing print server solutions with AutoVue’s format and platform agnostic document printing capabilities. By combining the power of AutoVue Document Print Services with applications such as Asset Lifecycle Management, partners can build robust printing solutions to automate and process high volume printing operations of both business and technical document types.

For many organizations, their printing processes are challenged by the fact that they can only print a small subset of the documents required by enterprise users. With AutoVue Document Print Services, partners can complement their existing print server solutions with powerful document printing capabilities that can be deployed in both Windows and Linux environments; thereby automating the printing of virtually any document type required in any business process. For example, during the planning and execution of maintenance and repair activities, maintenance planners can automate the printing of work orders and all corresponding attachments, including engineering and asset drawings, for use during repair operations, greatly improving business workforce productivity.

During the planning and execution of maintenance and repair activities, maintenance planners can automate the printing and collating of work orders and all corresponding attachments, including equipment diagrams, material safety datasheets, standard operating procedures, pictures, etc, for use during repair operations. These can be batch processed overnight so that field technicians arriving in the morning can collect a printed work order packet. The packet includes a cover page, which lists all the documents included in a given packet, as well as a summary page listing all the files, the packet ID, number of pages, date and time the packet was printed and status of the printouts. Every page of each document within the work packet can be traced back to the packet ID indicated in the header. These capabilities streamline work order packet creation by facilitating manual document collation; and improve productivity and wrench time by ensuring that maintenance workers have the right documents before heading into the field to execute repairs.
