DMS in the Automotive Sector: Availability of all documents in the most up-to-date version
Documentmanagement (DMS) for the automotive industry ensure that every technical product is fully documented. The relational information derived from these documents forms the foundation for digitizing information-based business processes. For car manufacturers and suppliers, this is the standard—not just because of the high-quality requirements that apply to this sector.
DMS accelerates development cycles. Giving everyone access to all information is counterproductive. Departments or stakeholders only want to see the information relevant to their work—and that information varies greatly. Product development, order processing, technical procurement, service, and corporate management all have different information needs. DMS ensures that each file is stored only once in the Product Data Backbone, while simultaneously providing each role in the organization with a tailored view of the relevant information.
With PRO.FILE DMS for Automotive, you tackle the challenges of the modern automotive sector head-on. The PRO.FILE digitalization platform is the solution for your Document Management needs. Technical companies with highly complex processes often find standard document management systems insufficient. The technical product structures in these companies are closely linked to a wide variety of technical documents, such as drawings, product documentation, and specifications. This interconnection cannot be represented within a standard folder structure. The information within the documents (e.g., change requests) is related to technical components and information from other documents (e.g., product documentation), which cannot be effectively managed by a conventional document management system (DMS).
The PRO.FILE platform offers CAD data management, Product Data Management (PDM), and technical document management (DMStec), serving as a collaborative solution for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) that integrates seamlessly with your ERP system. Once engineering and product management data are digitally captured within the Product Data Backbone of PRO.FILE PLM, they become fully transparent and visible to everyone. This data can feed the product development process or serve as a basis for impact analyses for predictive maintenance—without the need to create new versions. Companies that manage their documents consistently gain the most value from their processes and projects. PRO.FILE Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is built on this principle.
Whether you’re struggling with engineering-related version control or workflows, facing costs from incorrect parts due to faulty drawings, dealing with outdated specifications in your ERP system, or encountering challenges integrating PLM processes across multiple global sites, PRO.FILE serves as both the Product Data Backbone and collaboration platform that supports the product development process and the entire product lifecycle. This next-generation software not only connects all internal departments and disciplines but also, via the Collaborative PLM platform PROOM, seamlessly and securely integrates external partners, suppliers, and customers into your PLM processes. We guide you step by step toward more efficient Product Lifecycle Management—from CAD data management to an end-to-end PLM solution.
