Mechatronics

How to bundle all the mechanical, electronic, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and software elements of a product?

Manufacturing companies increasingly have to bridge the gap between these traditionally isolated disciplines and can no longer ignore mechatronics. Bridge the gap with PRO.FILE.

Bridge the gap between Mechanics and Electronics in your organization with PRO.FILE

Mechanics and electronics have always been two completely different worlds, each with their own ways of thinking and solutions. They each work with different data and product structures and use separate authoring software and databases. This, but also because the two disciplines do not work in parallel, makes mutual coordination very difficult. Where MCAD and ECAD connect, many tasks are still performed manually. Engineers share installation data, cable lengths or plug connections via Excel tables or by email.
A prerequisite for connecting these two worlds is that the PDM/PLM system MCAD and ECAD data must be managed in a common database. PRO.FILE is the connecting link here.

The key to optimization? Information exchange between disciplines based on one single version of the truth

As a Product Data Backbone, it bundles all mechanical, electronic, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and software elements of a product into one common bill of materials.
All associated documents are stored together in the database and can be accessed via a user interface.
Mechanical engineers can view the planned electronic layout when designing the enclosure.
Electrical engineers know the dimensions of the housing and where the drill holes are located on which a printed circuit board must be attached.
The integration of CAE / E-CAD with PRO.FILE ensures that an E-design becomes part of the project, product and is included via PRO.FILE in the release process to logistics handling (via ERP)
