PDM (Product Data Management)

Product Data Management

System for controlling engineering files, revisions, attributes, approvals and product-document structures.

Examples

  1. 01The PDM system stores every CAD model and drawing of the pump range with its revision, so production always prints the latest released version.
  2. 02Before a drawing is released in PDM, design, quality and production engineering approve it in a defined workflow.
  3. 03When a supplier works from an old drawing, the team finds the PDM release was never sent to purchasing and fixes the interface before the next build.
