PDM interfaces

Perfectly connected. Efficiently automated.

Integration of CAD, configuration and PDM

Intelligently linking CAD, configuration and PDM


More variants, more complexity, more data? Keep on top of it all. Our solution integrates CAD, configuration and PDM systems into a seamless process landscape and ensures consistent product data. Through automated storage and management processes, you can reduce sources of error, boost efficiency and lay the foundations for future-proof variant management.

Efficient PDM integration in mechanical engineering.

  • Consistent variant management and high-quality master data require the structured and traceable storage and maintenance of product data. These requirements are met by effectively integrating the CAD and configuration systems with the PDM environment.
  • Guidelines for automatic storage, defined once, reduce manual work and the potential for errors.
  • Our standardised plug-ins for various design automation or CAD automation solutions help to address these challenges.

Integration of CAD configuration and PDM

Automatic retrieval
: The required documents are automatically retrieved from the PDM system during configuration, as and when needed. This ensures that all relevant data is available exactly when it is needed, without having to retrieve all variants in advance.

Checking in new variants
: Directly from the configuration into the PDM system: New variants are automatically stored in the desired structure, including the use of your existing numbering scheme, categorisation and the maintenance of references and document relationships. This reduces manual steps and ensures consistent data quality.

Extensibility via plug-ins
: Flexibly customise the interface to suit your requirements. With the Fingerprint plug-in, existing identical parts are automatically recognised and reused during check-in on the basis of a digital fingerprint. In addition, bespoke plug-ins can be developed to integrate your specific processes directly into the workflow.
