The PLM system for better collaboration and faster processes during product engineering
CIM Database is an open and highly scalable system for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). The key benefits are better collaboration and faster processes within projects and across disciplines, systems and organizational boundaries.
CIM Database’s component architecture, consisting of open technologies such as Python, core services and comprehensive standard applications, simplifies implementation. It helps companies to react agilely to new requirements.
Advantages for enterprises and employees
- Use virtual product models for digitization
- Use virtual product models for digitization
- Run PLM processes with best practices quickly and reliably
- Combine project management and processing methodically perfect
- Connect systems for up-to-date data anywhere in the company
Using virtual product models for digitization
Act more efficiently
The engine for consistent PLM is the comprehensive model of the virtual product. This allows data and procedures to be used digitally and thus more efficiently – from the first ideas to release into production. Because digital models simplify front loading to make decisions faster and easier and avoid late, costly changes.
Mastering complex issues in PLM with visual navigation
Virtual product models bring together a great deal of information along the product development process. Users need navigation and visualization functions that create transparency. The CONTACT Elements User Experience Design System supports users in making optimum use of their expertise.
Combine project management and processing methodically perfect
With AgileRules, CIM Database offers the best method to connect control and execution in projects. All employees benefit from its integrated project functions throughout the entire product lifecycle. Product development is an agile project work. The central challenge is to react to changes within the framework of reliable guard rails. To do this, you need functions that allow changes to be made both bottom-up and top-down. Work breakdown structures, time schedules, quality gates, checklists or delivery items (deliverables) are established planning and control instruments. CIM Database intelligently combines these with the functions for agile, largely autonomous work of employees and teams.
Synchronize enterprise systems with Catalyst
The open, service-oriented architecture of the CIM Database ensures that business processes are consistent with other enterprise-wide IT systems such as SAP. The application ranges from exchanging articles and bills of materials to synchronizing document and project data and supplying different ERP systems in parallel. In accordance with the SOA concept, Catalyst Web Services support direct interaction with other enterprise services using Internet-based-protocols.
Connect systems containing up-to the-minute data
Outstanding team data management for the leading
authoring systems
CAD data such as 3D models, drawings and circuit diagrams are central information elements in the development process. With CONTACT Workspaces, you benefit from outstanding CAD and multi-CAD data management for improved collaboration and secure processes in conjunction with the PLM backbone. Use workspaces for cross-company collaboration with partners and suppliers. Use it to exchange CAD and product data more easily and securely.
