SOLIDWORKS PDM

Revision Control

Revision control is an important part of the design and manufacturing process. SOLIDWORKS PDM helps

• Maintain revision history and version control
• Keeps track of changes
• Ensure the review stage is built into processes

Workflow Communication

Open communication loops are the key to project success and in a post-pandemic world, workflow communication needs to be all the most rigorous. Some salient features include built-in notification systems and the ability to set person-based workflows and notifications.

Multi-User Collaboration

Collaboration and teamwork are the keys to success. But without software to support the same, it will be impossible to achieve even if the intent is right. SOLIDWORKS PDM facilitates collaborative working by allowing multiple users to work on different aspects of the project and assemblies at the same time. It is also easy to track changes made by users easily and any updates are easily checked.

Web Access

With a cloud-based solution, all need for physical servers is eliminated, Further, the system is responsive and mobile-device friendly and hence, it is not necessary to use a desktop system to access. It is also easy for suppliers and outsourced manufacturers to access the design files without a PDM client being installed at their end.

Advanced Searching

Advanced search options save time and it is not necessary to remember complex files names. If you have a rough idea of what you need, our intuitive system will find it for you! With a robust SQL database to support, use any attribute to search and find your needed files.

Reference Management

File location, versioning, and retrieval are related and important. In many projects, more time is wasted in searching for the right file than in working. With SOLIDWORKS PDM, reference management is a breeze.

File Standardization

In many companies, there is no standard naming convention or folder structure. This makes retrieving files near to impossible and involves heavy searching. With PDM, the entire process is streamlined, and one can set user permissions and manage things at a micro level, including who can access what and what type of content will be saved. By ensuring compliance easy working is facilitated and time is spent in design than anything else.

Branch & Merge

When innovation rules the roost, the software must ably support the same. Using the branch and merge option, designers and engineers can open a separate branch based on an existing design and experiment fully in the same without disturbing the original. Then can also choose to merge the same back as an updated version of the product or assembly or leave it to take up its own path search and find your needed files.
