EADS - airbus logistic process visualized with BS Contact

"EADS Innovation Works" succeeded in developing a management system, which has a 3D model in a centric approach, which can unify all parameters. This management system is based on the 3D format X3D for visualization.

EADS is going for X3D, - the advancement of the more well-known VRML (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) format - because:

  • X3D is an open ISO standard,
  • XML documents are appropriate for embedded solutions
  • customized interactive functions and user interfaces can easily be developed, and finally
  • the X3D Browser can be easily integrated into meta data management systems.


Most of the visualization requirements of the meta data management system have been accomplished by using regular X3D functions in any browser. Other possibilities have been realized by using the X3D CAD „strukture nodes “, as for example a further simplification of the structure of the total scenario. At last the reason, why EADS decided for the BS Contact Viewer from Bitmanagement was the operating experience, EADS gained before creating the meta data management system.
