It operates on a unique Knowledge Aware approach. This approach continuously collects knowledge from best practices, employee expertise, lessons learned and other resources and then delivers that knowledge to users within their workflow. The software integrates with various CAD systems, including NX, CATIA, Creo, SOLIDWORKS and AutoCAD. This allows Auros to simplify critical design processes by providing users with the precise information they need. By applying past knowledge, the software helps organizations reduce costly variation across people, projects, geography and time. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 15 users.

I have experienced design reviews where ambiguity, bias, and hiding of the facts is common place. Not with Auros. Auros provides real time checks \& balances on the status of your design processes automatically with full transparency. > > **Cons**: With the current release, K-Pacs (Knowledge Packets) are used to capture the knowledge and rules needed to execute associated design and manufacturing processes. Outside of a mildly helpful multi-K-Pac Excel import feature, difficulties exist in that it takes time to create K-Pacs from extracted document facts. In all fairness, however, the Auros team is working right now to ease this manual labor of providing details into K-Pacs from direct input to document and fact extraction conversion methods. > > We have found it useful to leverage Auros beyond its original design to support engineering \& design processes. In one example, this can mean guidance for a machine operator leveraging best design practices from engineering. This could also mean a decision within engineering design being modified because of instant knowledge awareness of logistics standards (these are examples). What is being unpacked and unveiled here is an "untapped secret sauce": Auros gives information architects the ablity to deliver knowledge or make individuals experience "knowledge awareness" through an activation of information already existing (in any area within a business or customer job site). By tapping into sanctioned or verified sources from other locations within a company or group, authoritative knowledge can be brought to the attention of decision-makers at the moments needed for lower-risk decision-making. Being application agnostic, that decision-making knowledge might be presented in different forms like simulation interfaces, chatbots and instant messages, or custom-built customer apps... the options are endless. The best decisions are made with recent and relevant actionable information at our fingertips. Auros provides that foundation. ----- ### "Auros Knowledge Database" — 4.0/5 > **Fernando** | *5 November 2018* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: How knowledge is structure in Communities of Practice and every piece of knowledge in individual KPacs, that can be later grouped in dynamic assessments that automatically check our guidelines and returns a pass or fail value. I also find very useful the web services that Auros provides to directly connect with the database for interactions with CAD Softwares or other databases > > **Cons**: The user interface is a little confusion to follow at first, but after a quick training can be easily overcome. > > Overall experience has been great. Their support team is always available and had helped us structure our requirements to easily share and evaluate our knowledge ----- ### "AUROS - Great tool to document, track and distribute requirements" — 5.0/5 > **Nic** | *23 October 2018* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that anyone can document their knowledge/requirements and push them out to others for common usage. This is much better than the constant duplication of requirements that is typical across large organizations. If a best practice is agreed to this software allows it to be housed in one location, and as it evolves its changes can be immediately seen by any users or adopters of the best practice. > > **Cons**: Working thru the value table logic is difficult especially as you get into more complex logic in them. There are many options of how to lay it out, and the Boolean logic functionality is a little cumbersome to grasp. > > Being able to capture the knowledge of the organization and reuse it for multiple projects and programs is great instead of re-authoring things each time a new request comes in. The difficulties I have encountered are based around trying to establish how you want to categorize the data being stored as the longer it takes to establish how you want it categorized the more work it will be to properly categorize to allow fast, easy, repeatable access to the knowledge. ----- ### "Auros for Development" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 October 2018* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy for the end user to use. Creates consistent requirements and checks that is up to date with the latest requirements. > > **Cons**: Many of the functions are hidden and need to be learned and communicated to others (from an author/admin standpoint). For the user to review and assess it is very easy. > > I think it is a great system for capturing and storing any knowledge/requirements that a corporation may have. It is highly adaptable to many use cases and can be customized with out IT support. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/452738/Auros?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/452738/Auros) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
