"Efficiency increased by 63%! Share Creators, a digital asset management software highly integrated with AI technology."
"Industrial pipeline establishment," "Industrialization of CG production," and "Mass production" – these are terms increasingly heard in the CG industry's research and development sectors in recent years.
Does the advent of the industrialized pipeline era imply that the future CG industry will operate like a production assembly line, where design industry practitioners collaborate at various online nodes, performing repetitive tasks? In reality, an industrialized pipeline is not merely an assembly line process, but refers to a production flow that exhibits standardized, platform-based, and data-driven characteristics
More and more production manufacturers are discovering that a more advanced industrialized production pipeline is a prerequisite for higher quality. The establishment of industrialized processes and pipelines enables the effortless handling of massive tasks. However, at its core, an industrialized pipeline is not about machinery but about efficient large-scale collaboration among personnel. What's crucial in an industrialized pipeline is not the quality of any single element, but rather the use of standardized collaboration interfaces that allow numerous elements to be more conveniently integrated into the system.
McKinsey's research results show that an outstanding digital asset management software can significantly enhance team collaboration, communication, search, sharing, and other efficiencies, ultimately boosting team productivity by 20%-25%.
As a leader in the digital asset management industry, Share Creators' intelligent digital asset management software can help businesses and teams intelligently manage digital assets, greatly improving industrial pipeline production efficiency. Its key features offer an efficiency boost of 63%, far exceeding the industry average.
