To convert to automatic operation: automate a factory. 2. query and response system employing SAQQARA RosettaNet e-catalog solutions. As a worldwide distributor of electronic components, Avnet will employ the RosettaNet-based SAQQARA Query Generator to pull information on Hitachi's technical product content using PIP2A9 standards during the RosettaNet Partners conference April 18-20 in Anaheim, Calif. Supported by Hitachi Semiconductor (America) and Avnet, the PIP2A9 project is expected to improve customer service by delivering accurate and timely component information during design cycles when time-to-information is critical. "As a RosettaNet board member, we understand the need to speed data exchange and the cost savings realized from server-to-server communications," commented Dave Cruse, vice president, e-business, Avnet Electronics Marketing. "SAQQARA's PIP2A9 Query Generator will demonstrate the ability to deliver accurate and complete information to customers, enhancing their access to decision-making information. With decreasing product life cycles and increasing product complexity, the automated and immediate exchange of accurate product information is no longer an option, it is a necessity." "We're very pleased with the implementation of RosettaNet's query system," said Tom Jeffery, chief content engineer at Hitachi Semiconductor (America). "We believe that the new automated query response system will significantly reduce the turnaround time (1) In batch processing, the time it takes to receive finished reports after submission of documents or files for processing. In an online environment, turnaround time is the same as response time. for design engineers and buyers by offering accurate, up-to-date product information such as parameters and functional descriptions from the early stage of product designs." SAQQARA solutions comply with RosettaNet Electronic Component Technical Dictionary (ECTD) and PIP2A9 Electronic Components Technical Information Exchange Protocol (ECTIEP) standards. The RosettaNet standards promote the effective exchange of information for B2B e-commerce (Business to Business Electronic-COMMERCE) Refers to one business selling to another business via the Web. See e-commerce. by providing data that is accurate, detailed and immediate. RosettaNet PIP2A9 also significantly increases supplier visibility; every time a customer makes a RosettaNet-compliant query, the supplier's product is included in an automatic response. "RosettaNet PIP2A9 is a natural extension of the SAQQARA cataloging technology that enables companies to transform, manage and exchange information through e-commerce," said Jerry Hawk hawk, name generally applied to the smaller members of the Accipitridae, a heterogeneous family of diurnal birds of prey, such as the eagle, the kite, the Old World vulture, and the secretary bird. , vice president of engineering and chief technology officer, SAQQARA Systems. "Having two industry leaders such as Avnet and Hitachi exchange PIP2A9 data validates the need for delivery of detailed, product differentiating content to buyers in a format and language that meets their information needs."
