Manage and automate PLM processes
The success of your business is largely determined by the contribution that projects and processes make to the profitability of the company. PRO.FILE is the no-nonsense solution for the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process for industrial organizations and offers a company-wide solution for managing product data over the entire life cycle of the product (from design to end-of-life). PDM, PLM, DMStec and archiving in one system that organizes all your design and product data based on your own product structure and within which you yourself arrange how you manage and manage your documents. By assigning digital lifecycles / workflows the status of the data is recorded and per document the possibilities are determined, for example whether it is allowed to make an overhaul or to make a change in the data. Because all information is stored in a database, the retrieval of data and reuse of parts is increasingly possible and more effective.
What is Product Lifecycle management and why do you need it?
PLM stands for Product Lifecycle Management, a process that manages the entire lifecycle of a product, from concept to end of life. It includes the management of all data and documents that arise around a product during these phases, such as product development, design, manufacturing, distribution, sales and service, with the ultimate goal of improving efficiency and reducing costs.
PLM and PDM are often mentioned in the same breath but, just like DMS and ECM, should not be confused with each other. PLM goes further than PDM. A Product Lifecycle Management System (PLM System or PLM Software) builds on PDM and enables companies to manage product data, information flows and processes. On the one hand, PLM software is the central basis for product data – Product Data Backbone – on the other hand, it serves as a process solution for product lifecycle processes.
Do low efficiency, high costs and long product development times sound familiar to you? Then using PLM software is the solution for your company. Our PLM software ensures improved efficiency, lower costs and faster product development by streamlining the management of the entire product life cycle. PLM software helps coordinate different teams, manage complex product data, optimize processes and improve collaboration between departments and partners, ultimately resulting in faster time to market, higher quality and greater competitive advantages.
PRO.FILE users have the freedom of choice to work completely Cloud based, hybrid Cloud based, On Premise or SAAS. Extensive interfaces and APIs provide remote access to data and functions on various devices and apps. With PRO.FILE PLM, your products are accompanied by product-related information throughout their entire lifespan. Product data and documents are created at the moment the first ideas are sketched or the first specifications are recorded. New documents are then added from the engineering departments, which are then forwarded for production, assembly, maintenance and commissioning. This process is repeated with extensions and changes, until the product is possibly withdrawn from the market. Digitized knowledge of relationships between data from the complete product life cycle is necessary to be able to make decisions in the interests of the company at an early stage of the relevant phases of the product life cycle.
This next generation of PRO.FILE PLM software introduces the new standard for datamangement: ✅ Full Power ✅ Endless possibilities ✅ Affordale ✅ Scalable ✅ Proven ✅ Easy
Our PRO.FILE PLM software is used worldwide by companies within the manufacturing industry/industrial production.
✅ Aerospace ✅ Automotive ✅ Medical Engineering ✅ Maritime Industry ✅ Operation & Maintenance ✅ Mechanical & Plant Engineering ✅ Systems Engineering ✅ High Tech & Electronics ✅ Oil & Gas ✅ Heavy Equipment ✅ Chemical Industry ✅ Manufacturing Industry
In many companies there is no record of how data from the product life cycle are related. This information is usually only stored in the minds of employees and it is important to secure that knowledge and have it available. Technical production companies within the manufacturing industry therefore cannot do without a product lifecycle management (PLM) process integrated into their design, production and service departments. The success of the company is largely determined by the contribution that projects and processes make to the profitability of the company. However, the time and effort involved in performing manual processes or exchanging BOMs and PLM-relevant documents between different CAD and ERP systems directly impacts costs and time-to-market and can result in a competitive disadvantage. PLM is therefore a strategic instrument that is closely interwoven with all business processes and plays an essential role in developing and managing products. Manufacturing companies ensure transparent and consistent innovation processes with PLM solutions, which leads to lower costs and a faster time-to-market.
The digitalization platform PRO.FILE is the ultimate solution for your Product Lifecycle Management
PRO.FILE PLM offers you CAD data management, product data management (PDM) and technical document management (DMStec) suitable as a collaborative solution for product lifecycle management that is seamlessly integrated into your ERP system. Once engineering and product management data is digitally recorded in the Product Data Backbone of PRO.FILE PLM, it becomes fully transparent and visible to everyone. The data provides input for the product development process or can serve as a basis for impact analyzes for predictable maintenance without having to create new versions. Companies that manage their documents uniformly get the most return from their processes and projects. PRO.FILE Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is based on that principle.
Whether you are struggling with your engineering-related version control or workflows, experiencing wrong part costs due to incorrect drawings, experiencing outdated specifications in your ERP system or having problems integrating the PLM processes from different sites across the world, PRO.FILE is the Product Data Backbone and collaboration platform in one that supports the product development process and the complete product lifecycle. This next generation software not only connects all internal departments and disciplines, but also integrates external partners, suppliers and customers seamlessly and controlled into your PLM processes via the Collaborative PLM platform PROOM.
We guide you step by step on the way to more efficient Product Lifecycle Management. From CAD data management to an end-to-end PLM solution.
