Data – a key
element in every Organisation. Handling data is the sole responsibility of
Personnel / Management to ensure Proper Data flow inside an organisation. When
it comes to an organisation involved in automotive product design and
manufacture, it's quite complicated to manage Product Development data under
one roof. Communicating this available information is much more tricky and
challenging.
The solutions to rectify these complications
are pretty expensive and time consuming to sort out the challenges faced by the
automotive firms.
Challenges faced in Automotive Industry:
A) Difficulty in managing product
related data & Files (Parts, Assemblies, Drawings, Standards, Reference Documents
and Catalogs) across the Design & Development process
B) Unable to track Legacy
data & Existing Designs for new Automotive Concept
C) Managing revisions& Versions in existing Projects is complicated
D) Unable to collaboratewith multiple location organizations
E) Data Segregation and accessibility
between Departments
F) Visualising the
Exploded View of the Automotive and Understanding the Mechanisms
G) Difficulties in
delivering the right assembly Instructions to assembly line
H) Communicating the right
information to the service engineers & Creating Service Manuals
Solutions:
A) With SOLIDWORKS Product Data Management (PDM) you can create and maintain your design data
under control with the functionalities of
finding files, Duplicate files (twin files), Duplicate (same file name but
different geometry)
B) PDM helps you to repurposing existing design data (to eliminate recreating designs) with the high functionalities and features of advanced searching, Integrated file preview, File structure copy and rename
C) Manage design
revisions more effectively to track design revisions and maintain a
complete revision history to avoid the errors of manual approaches
D) Organizations with multiple locations either domestically or
internationally can collaborate and work with Centralized storage with automated vault, Automatic notifications, Automated neutral file creation, Web connection to access from anywhere
at any time with a browser and an internet connection.
E) Secure and protect access to sensitive or proprietary
product information with the Secure Data
Access (read-only, read-write, change authorizations, release approvals),
Centralized storage with automated vault replication.
F) Now with SOLIDWORKS COMPOSER, Animate and visualize to
explore about your Product in Exploded Views and also mechanisms.
G) Demonstrate clearly and present your product or process
using 2D and 3D graphical content
H) Illustrate and transfer a high quality images and even interactive
servicing information to prepare Technical documents like manuals and
catalogue.
Benefits:
- Powerful Integration of SOLIDWORKS and Windows
- Find and re-use Design Data
- Secured access within the organization
- Automated approval process & Work Flow
- Reduce documentation costs by at 25 %
- Add life to documentation with interactive 3D animations
