Product Data Management
At Design Werk we believe in PDM Product Data Management.
What is PDM?
PDM is a software tool that aids the user in controlling product data generated during a Design/Development process in order to build support and maintain the product.
We use a SolidWorks integrated Management tool for a efficient workflow.
What are the benefits of PDM:
- Data control "(what was sent to the vendor, what parts are needed for this assembly?")
- Revision Control
- File association transparency for example parts used in an assembly
- Impact analysis of revision changes
- Access control to avoid unwanted changes
- Central location of all project related files
- Encourages data reuse thus reducing design and manufacturing cost
- Off the shelf component data capture
