PDM System

GAIN Collaboration: Benefits for all employees

What is a PDM system?

PDM stands for Product Data Management. A PDM system operates throughout the entire lifecycle of a product. From design and planning, through construction and production, to sales and service.

Through its functions and interfaces to other systems, it manages all product and process-related data. For example, design drawings, parts lists from the CAD area, information about parts, images, PDF information and much more.

The advantages of a PDM system

A product data management system can be used throughout the company. This way, all connected employees benefit from the product information that is useful to them. Examples:

  • The design department can quickly locate specific data or use it for further development.
  • The work preparation department can call up parts lists at the push of a button.
  • Sales staff from different branches or departments can print out a spare parts list instantly to support them in customer discussions.

In this way, the system generally increases the productivity and cooperation of all employees. The entire company gains efficiency.
