Mechatronics

PRO.FILE is the data platform par excellence for interdisciplinary work in mechatronics

Nowadays, almost no machines are built without electronic or electrical components or with a completely mechanical drive. For the PDM/PLM system, this means that in addition to mechanical parts, it must also manage electrical and electronic components in a common CAD database (multi-CAD). PRO.FILE offers this.

Mechatronics

PRO.FILE bridges the gap between Mechanics and Electrical Engineering

The harmonization of mechanics, electricity, electronics and IT is a precondition for the success of mechatronics projects. The different disciplines work in their own CAD and CAE systems with little or no possibilities to work together on each other's engineering data. PRO.FILE is the solution for achieving harmonization and careful coordination within mechatronics projects. This increases the efficiency of managing mechatronics projects within your company.
PRO.FILE automatically informs everyone who is involved in a project about the changes related to mechanics, electricity, electronics and IT. In addition, PRO.FILE will synchronize development and purchase.

The added value of PRO.FILE:

  • PRO.FILE manages product data and information flows across the boundaries of departments and functions as a bridge.
  • Thanks to PRO.FILE it does not matter if the departments work in different locations.
  • As a Product Data Backbone, it bundles all mechanical, electronic, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and software elements of a product in one common bill of materials.
  • PRO.FILE Systems Design functionality supports the various CAX systems. As a result the product structures come together in PRO.FILE and produce correct parts lists.
  • All related documents are stored together in the database and are accessible via a user interface.
  • PRO.FILE guarantees a clean and seamless process from development to transfer to the ERP system.
  • PRO.FILE Process Management coordinates work processes in all disciplines.
  • Mechanical engineers can view the planned electronic layout when designing the enclosure.
  • Electrical engineers know the dimensions of the housing and know where the drill holes are located on which a printed circuit board must be attached.
  • PRO.FILE automatically notifies changes to all parties involved.
  • The integration CAE / E-CAD with PRO.FILE) care that an E-design becomes part of the project, product and via PRO.FILE in the release process to logistics handling (through ERP) is included.

Results:

  • Less iterations in the design process
  • Significant improvement in engineering and increase in output quality.
