SOLIDWORKS PDM is a product data management tool developed by DASSAULT SYSTEMES. PDM solutions help an organization to get their design data under control and significantly improve the way their teams manage and co-ordinate on product development.
SOLIDWORKS PDM enables to:
- Secure storage and index design data for fast recovery.
- Eliminate confusions about version control and data loss.
- Share and co-ordinate the design data with the people inside and outside the firm and in multiple locations
- Integrated workflows that automate design and approval process for more efficient review and release of final
designs.
SOLIDWORKS PDM SOLUTIONS
- File Management: Manage and control all the data associated with an organization and allow easy access to this data to the concerned people. The robust centralized vault provides capabilities to manage and control product design data.
- Revision Management: Manages all the revision data in effective manner and eliminate all confusions pertaining to revisions such as latest revision, revision numbers etc. PDM Track changes, maintain a whole revision history of a design’s evolution, and errors of manual approaches can be avoided.
- Secure File Vaulting: Provide secure storage for all the confidential data related to the firm and also provide Granular security to entire database of the organization. With secure file vaulting user accessibility can be managed even in distributed computing networks and security flaws that arise due to shared network are eliminated.
- Design Reuse: PDM acts as a powerful searching tool which quickly searches available design data to save time and effort. PDM creates a framework for quickly locating and for reusing the available design data.
- Bill of Materials Management: Create, maintain, manipulate and store the bill of materials (BOM) data to support downstream operations. PDM software offers many tools which enables to handle BOM and data more efficiently and also to export this data for the use in downstream applications.
- Replication: PDM allows replicating the shared data from one location to another location without much effort.
- Enterprise Scalability: Interconnect the design data needs of the whole enterprise whether for just a few users at one location or for hundreds of users all over the world. PDM provides a solid vault for the users, where they can store and retrieve data with ease
- Engineering Change Management: Significantly reduce the time required for the design approvals of engineering change orders (ECO) by automatic electronic workflow system. This reduces lot of paperwork which requires full time staff to co-ordinate, which is often time consuming.
- Distributed Collaboration: Drive collaboration throughout the organization, whether it is in just one location or in multiple locations spread across the world. PDM provides tools and capabilities that a firm needs to keep people connected, up to date and working on the same data irrespective of their location. This global connectivity helps in reducing the time to market of product.
SOLIDWORKS PDM helps an enterprise to manage all of its data in an effective manner to save time, cost. With the implementation of PDM, the firm can avail numerous benefits that help in increasing the productivity of the organization.
