Enable global collaboration across concurrent design environments with a secure and tightly integrated multi-CAD and product data management system.
Product data management is the use of software to help organizations connect and communicate product information across globally distributed teams where multiple product development tools may be used.
PDM enables controlled global collaboration across concurrent design environments from requirements to system models to design (mechanical, electrical, and software), simulation, validation, and verification. It guarantees that every model, drawing or document is secured and easily found in a central repository. Part and document searches leverage the entire history and associated relationships of each piece of content. With PDM, you ensure that every version and revision is tracked, required approvals have happened, and manual tasks have been automated.
PDM is important because engineers in organizations without a robust PDM system spend 25% more time on nonproductive data management tasks.
Designing a product means having to manage many distinct types of data. With PDM, you gain efficiencies in organizing, tracking, and re-using all design data centrally with a single source of truth. Spend less time searching for CAD files, recreating data, updating systems, and answering requests from non-CAD users. Hit your cost and schedule targets by eliminating non-value tasks associated with managing and sharing secure product data.
Adopt a smarter way of working and begin increasing efficiency, improving collaboration, and laying the foundation for your digital transformation journey.
Manage and link all product related data, ensuring only correct versions of documents are distributed to responsible personnel at the right time.
Enable internal and external teams to provide product development updates, submit ideas, and receive feedback in real time.
Manage all CAD tools (Creo, SolidWorks, Inventor, NX, Catia, and more) in one environment, ensuring that there is no missing or misinterpreted information.
Provide a system for managing employee read & sign training, electronic signatures, controlled printing, configurable watermarks and more.
Control access to internal and external users’ who’ve been authorized to view and edit data. Establish further control by using security labels (ex. ITAR clearance) to accommodate temporary agreements for specific participants.
Assign classification and attribute values as parts and documents are developed to create standardized system-generated names, making it easier to read, translate, and search for data.
Maintain legacy information and manage new product data, providing full digital traceability. Ensure everyone is using the right version for development, analysis, manufacturing, and procurement.
