Invention Machine Ushers in New Era of Knowledge Creation and Accelerated Innovation; Goldfire Innovator(TM) 3.0 Dramatically Improves Knowledge Creation Capabilities to Stimulate Ideation and Promote Inventive Problem-Solving

Invention Machine Corporation, the leading provider of
enterprise software to optimize knowledge creation and accelerate the
process of innovation, today announced the availability of Goldfire
Innovator(TM) 3.0.
The latest release of Goldfire Innovator integrates problem
identification, analysis and solution-generating capabilities with a
patented semantic knowledge engine and access to rich technical
content. Goldfire Innovator enables companies to identify viable
solutions across product and information lifecycles while leveraging
relevant content from across internal and corporate knowledge bases,
patent and scientific effects databases, and the internet and
deep-web.
With Goldfire Innovator, companies can systematically conceive new
products and processes; more rapidly accelerating the introduction of
innovative products. Additionally, companies can resolve design or
process problems across a product's lifecycle to streamline production
efficiencies and gain earlier visibility into resolving defects in
existing products - mitigating risk and minimizing warranty costs..
"Enterprises worldwide are under increasing pressure to deliver
better-performing and more differentiated product offerings to sustain
a competitive advantage, " said Mark E. Atkins, Chairman, President
and CEO of Invention Machine. "Invention Machine enables organizations
to better and more rapidly identify, understand and solve problems,
thereby meeting global competitive demands to sustain knowledge
creation and accelerated innovation on a cost-effective basis."
The latest release of Goldfire Innovator includes numerous new
customer-driven enhancements and features such as a new Failure Mode
Effects Analysis (FMEA) workflow that enables users to identify
potential failure modes for a device or a process; formulate and
prioritize potential effects and causes of failures; and, identify
actions to prevent high priority failure modes.
Goldfire Innovator also introduces a new semantic structure - the
Cause-Effect relationship - providing the ability to automatically
identify and retrieve 'causes' and 'effects' of events across
pre-indexed semantic databases. This automated concept retrieval,
accessed through Goldfire Innovator's Root Cause Analysis and FMEA
modules, enables engineers to dynamically access and leverage relevant
information that is often outside of their own domain of knowledge.
This, in effect, puts thousands and thousands of years of prior art
and knowledge at an engineer's fingertips.
In addition, the latest release of Goldfire Innovator provides
semantic access to LiveLink(R) and Documentum(TM) repositories;
improved semantic search algorithms and anaphora resolution. Anaphora
resolution automatically identifies what a noun or pronoun (within a
phrase in a document) refers to - enabling more complete semantic
searches across indexed documents, patents and other technical
content.
Goldfire Innovator 3.0 is available immediately. For more
