Accelerate product development and improve system integration
Due to heterogeneous systems, teams from different departments such as product development, procurement, materials management, quality assurance, work preparation, and production often operate isolated from each other. This significantly slows down product development:
-
Data silos are created as individual departments capture and edit data in separate, isolated systems.
-
Data is exchanged manually between systems, which is inefficient and leads to errors.
-
Occurring transmission errors result in high efforts for error detection and correction.
- Conclusion: These obstacles delay development projects and slow down innovation dynamics
CIM Database Cloud Accelerate
CIM Database Cloud Accelerate enables you to connect product designs and models end-to- end with your ERP and production control systems.
Information from CAD systems or Office documents are made available seamlessly for downstream processes in procurement, materials management, quality assurance, and work preparation. Vice versa, designers benefit from direct access to relevant information from other departments, such as inventory levels, procurement times, or current purchase prices.
This end-to-end transparency provides all departments with a comprehensive overview of released parts, order status, delivery dates for components, as well as planned tests or upcoming toolmaking tasks. While the design team is still working on CAD models and drawings, they can forward already released parts to purchasing. This speeds up the process considerably and allows timely preparation for testing and adjustments in toolmaking.
Accelerate also supports the adjustment of bills of materials with its xBOM module, thereby facilitating a quick and smooth transition from development to production.
The result: You execute interdisciplinary projects quickly and efficiently while remaining within the planned time and cost budget. Impress your customers with high product quality and utmost reliability in delivery scheduling. Put your processes on the fast track with CIM Database Cloud Accelerate.
