SolidWorks Enterprise Product Data

Management (EPDM)

Manages, synchronizes and secures design data.

Locally or remotely, from engineering to manufacturing to share information,

collaborate on designs, and automatically protect design data with integrated
tracking and version control.

Three major capabilities Manage

Synchronize
Secures

Manage
All files management

File management
Centralizes the storage of all your engineering
data and related files.

Version control for both changes and revisions to

prevent data loss - like rapid svn.
Provides the centralized file vaulting capabilities
needed to manage and control electronic
intellectual property and product design data.

File management
Managing file referencesthe links between parts,
assemblies, and drawing.

Can link catalogues and data sheets of any format with

parts and drawings of jobs- No need to see c-series every
time.
Can see all catalogues/drawing/data sheets used in a job
through hierarchy.

File management
Creates data card for a part- with all of its
information.(Reduce time in finding and reusing data.)

Search for data in multiple ways, using parameters such file

name, contained data, part number, description, and current
workflow state (for example, released or in process).

Convert files to any neutral format.

Synchronizes
Integrated workflow

Synchronizes
Integrated workflows that automate your design and
approval process for more efficient review and release of
final designs.
Enable staff and partners to contribute through remoteaccess portals.
Workflow leads to a simple understanding of Process.

Synchronizes
Customize workflow as per company requirements so
streamlining approvals and improving controls over data.
-Provide a collaborative approach to execute a project by
involving all concerned departments.

-Can see the drawings/modeling review and approvals

status Pending at whose end and why.

Synchronizes
Concerned will be automatically intimated through
email or notification for approvals or pending
approvals/revision.
Automated tracking of approvals and sign-offs
maintains accuracy and accountability.
Can eliminate the lack of coordination between
design and production effectively, ensure
manufacturing has the right version, avoiding costly
mistakes.
