Extension modules for PDM Studio
The extension modules considerably expand the possibilities with PDM Studio. By automating routine tasks, you reduce the manual workload for your employees and prevent errors. The ERP interface and the integration of Office files bring commercial data together with design and production data in one place. Individual requirements can be realised via the open interface. We are also happy to add customised functions if required.
Take a look at the current expansion options for PDM Studio:
Automation of routine tasks
The automation of recurring processes relieves your employees of tedious routine tasks, prevents manual errors, creates open spaces and thus increases efficiency and quality.
This module has enormous potential for time savings through possibilities such as the automated filling of properties such as part numbers, the provision of neutral formats such as PDF, Step or DXF, convenient copy assistants, the control of printing and plotting jobs or a time-controlled provision of data. Another feature is sheet metal part and production list management.
All content is customisable and can be put together graphically without programming skills. No expert skills required.
ERP interface
Common processes for all conventional ERP systems can be implemented thanks to the XML-based, flexible ERP interface . Parts and article master data are synchronised bi-directionally. Articles can be created automatically in the ERP. BOM data, including all metadata, is transferred from PDM Studio to ERP. This also enables an early demand assessment of the so-called long-running products. PDM Studio also transfers event-driven CAD data as a drawing and 3D model in neutral format.
Integration of Office file formats
PDM Studio can manage not only CAD and CAM data, specifications, change requests, parts lists, etc., both centrally and in relation to each other. The key features and data of PDM Studio can also be integrated directly into the Edit panel of your Office applications such as Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF.
Plugins / API
This module is based on the Microsoft .Net standard and can be programmed with the "Visual Studio" development environment. Functional upgrades can thus be implemented quickly and easily according to individual customer requirements. Low adjustment costs over the entire term lead to a high level of investment security.
Geometric search
Search for master data directly in PDM Studio using your geometric data. Find out whether this component already exists in the same or similar format and take advantage of the resulting benefits:
- Avoiding duplicates reduces administration costs and effort.
- Better use of the existing data increases productivity.
- Reduced component diversity reduces costs.
- Combining the same or similar parts in production or procurement improves the cost structure.
Open interfaces for process integration
Open and powerful interfaces are the basis for process integration throughout the entire company. The PDM Studio Open module permits the user to exchange information and data directly with applications or indirectly via standards such as SQL, XML, etc.
PDM Studio Open reduces manual effort in the exchange of information between the different systems of a company. At the same time, the quality of the data increases because errors are avoided during the exchange process.
