Abstract
Real-time interactive collaboration is key to the success
of organisations providing customised products/services
to clients. This is especially the case when managers and
engineers are on the move and need to communicate with
and access data from not only the head office, but from
other partners and clients engaged in the definition,
development, delivery, or maintenance of the
product/service. This paper introduces model-based
collaborative virtual engineering supported through a
model server as a paradigm shift from simple drawings and
phone call based collaboration. The case of a textile
machine manufacturing SME is presented from the
perspective of three main business scenarios covering
manger on a business trip, engineer on remote site, and
virtual team collaboration. These scenarios are realised
through the intuitive use of the CoVES model server,
hybrid model, and integrated messaging concepts.
