Application PackagesFrom change management to risk and contract management
Best practices provide a proven path to quickly implement new software applications into practice. You don’t have to start programming from scratch, but rather rely on approaches that have already been successfully tried and tested elsewhere. PROCAD calls this pre-configured application packages. They are PLM scenarios [...]
Machine and Lifecycle FileThe basis for document management and document control
Complete documentation and therefore document management is a part of every technical product. Manufacturers are legally obligated to provide insight into every last detail about how their product is built and how the individual components are structurally interconnected. A thorough documentation simply cannot be created after [...]
PLM and Industry 4.0Why PLM is the prerequisite for intelligent products
From a PDM/PLM perspective, process control in Industry 4.0-driven manufacturing needs to be based on end-to-end Product Data Management. “The ability to efficiently and effectively manage this digital product model along every step of the way – from development to sales, from manufacturing and commissioning to [...]
Systems EngineeringBridging the gap between business models, product engineering, and product management
The development of ever more sophisticated mechatronics systems relies on the close collaboration of experts from all disciplines involved. When companies begin to design a new product or make fundamental changes to existing ones, they often can’t and don’t yet know exactly what functionality will be implemented with [...]
