It is almost a daily occurrence that we talk to our clients to understand why they are losing productivity, and not working effectively with their design data, and documentation related to it. We have for many years had a group of products in the electrical product data management (EPDM) arena which house several toolsets and features to help with daily mundane tasks and assist in driving efficiencies in finding and working with your product design information. Simply put, you should not be happy spending several minutes looking for a certain revision of a particular design – let alone identifying all of the files that it relates to as well. It isn’t out of the question to expect your EPDM solution to be more proactive, and take away some of the pain of creating and maintaining those routine tasks such as creating a package of works to share with a sub contractor, or validating the information that a designer is saving against a file. Do you regularly wish that you could get an automated bill of materials exported out of your designs on the approval of a file ready for an import into your enterprise resource planning (ERP) system?
All of these things are achievable, and actually fairly easily for the most part with the right toolset and help, to put the relevant configurations in place. During our webinar on 23rd November, we focussed on some of these key points, and hoped to reset your understanding of what your data management solution can offer you.
– Class leading data management toolsets and workflows to save your designers time and effort
– Standardisation tools to drive a better consistency of working throughout the design team
– Automation of mundane tasks to avoid the potential for human error
– Potential to grow with the wider organisation needs, including the scalability and integration into other business level systems
