Product data management: the foundation of the digital thread and digital twin
This ebook introduces how to enable global collaboration across concurrent design environments with a secure and tightly integrated multi-CAD and product data management system.
Introduction
Are your design teams unable to collaborate effectively? Is it taking too long to get to market due to duplication of work? With competition catching up, there is more pressure than ever to deliver products faster. Product data management (PDM) supports different languages and cultures, bringing together disparate teams and tools with harmonized end-to-end processes.
The days of double work are over! (duplicating designs through lack of re-use), systems that are not integrated (duplicating work inside the same system unable to build associative BOMs), and daily / weekly meetings (in all the time zones).
Now they are replaced with a single authoritative and secure source for product data. Engineering information, along with its derivatives, needs to be leveraged bidirectionally across teams, and systems, including manufacturing, quality, and service among others.
