This is because product data is often stored in different systems, files and formats, which leads to data inconsistencies.
Engineering Collaboration
Efficient product development processes through better collaboration
By optimizing collaboration in engineering combined with greater process transparency, you lay the foundations for a sustainable increase in productivity, quality and innovative capacity. By integrating your company’s disciplines and improving the coordination of all those involved in the product development process (PDP), you ensure a sustainable reduction in development times and costs.
Success factor return on investment (RoI)
CAD Portal opens up new possibilities for you: Our standard solution for product data management stands for efficient, collaborative product creation processes and is the leader when it comes to the best possible combination of lightweight system architecture, intuitive operation, high scalability and very efficient implementation – on premise or in the cloud. It is therefore hardly surprising that the fast return on investment (RoI) together with the high level of investment security are two elementary success factors that convince our customers.
End-to-end traceability of product development processes
CAD Portal improves efficiency, data consistency, collaboration and security in product development. It enables companies to manage complex product information better, respond faster to market requirements and increase product quality.
CAD Portal focuses on the end-to-end traceability of your product development and data exchange processes to solve daily engineering challenges, for example:
Versioning and change management
This is because there are numerous changes and versions of the work items during product development, which makes traceability and traceability more difficult.
Cooperation and exchange of information
because teams working at different locations or in different departments often have difficulties accessing the same product data efficiently and working together.
Ensuring data integrity
This is because product data can be accidentally overwritten or even lost, which can lead to serious errors and delays in development.
Scalability and complexity management
because as product complexity increases, the management of data and the relationships between them becomes almost unmanageable.
Access rights and security management
because there is always the risk of unauthorized users accessing sensitive product data or making unauthorized changes.
Documentation requirements and compliance
because many industries are subject to strict regulations and compliance requirements.
Avoidance of redundancies
because without a central data hub, redundant data is created, which leads to inefficiencies and errors.
Facilitating data analysis and decision-making
because in many companies, product-relevant data is distributed in many different places, which makes it difficult to make well-founded decisions.
CAD Portal improves efficiency, data consistency, collaboration and security in product development. It enables companies to better manage complex product information, react faster to market requirements and increase product quality.
PDTec Engineering Platform
CAD Portal is based on PDTec’s leading component architecture, which supports composability, among other things. Designed for modularity, in which software is divided into individual functional components, CAD Portal meets your future requirements for openness and flexibility. Not only does this make it easier to integrate new functions and technologies, but your engineering collaboration solution can now grow in line with increasing requirements. Among other things, this has an impact on the investment security and future viability of your strategy.
The advantage of CAD Portal lies in the combination of innovative modules
Centralization and consolidation of data
CAD Portal is a central data hub for managing all product-related data, such as CAD models, technical specifications and change information.
Versioning and change management
CAD Portal offers systematic management of product versions and changes (change management), which means that all processes are documented so that it is always clear which version is current and which changes have been made.
Cooperation and exchange of information
CAD Portal facilitates collaboration by bringing all parties together on a central data hub (“single source of truth”) and guaranteeing the use of the right information.
Ensuring data integrity
CAD Portal prevents this through systematic data storage and access control.
Scalability and complexity management
CAD Portal ensures that all linked data and documents are correctly managed and traceable.
Access rights and security management
CAD Portal solves such challenges with its powerful authorization concept, which protects sensitive information and ensures compliance with security guidelines.
Documentation requirements and compliance
CAD Portal facilitates compliance with regulations by providing complete documentation of the product development process.
Avoidance of redundancies
As a “single source of truth”, CAD Portal minimizes the risk of redundancies.
Facilitating data analysis and decision-making
CAD Portal enables better data analysis by consolidating and accessing all product information in one place. This facilitates evaluations and supports well-founded decisions based on accurate information.
