Ensuring that the right design data are being properly shared and managed across the value chain — suppliers, partners, and customers — is vital to a company’s ability to bring products to market quickly and correctly the first time. In today’s electro mechanical design environment, this effort is complicated due to electronic designs growing exponentially in complexity and creating large amounts of data that need to be shared across corporations with geographically dispersed design teams.. As design and manufacturing functions continue to occur globally it is increasingly critical that all members contributing to the design process have full access to the most recent design data, when they need it and wherever they are located.
With ENOVIA Designer Central, ECAD (Electronic Computer Aided Design) and MCAD (Mechanical Computer Aided Design) users are able to:
- Independently manage modules which facilitate design reuse
- Grant access for other stakeholders across the company (product engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, etc.) to design data in real time throughout the entire product lifecycle
- Have project leaders create team workspace folders, defining access level for members and making design information easy to find
- Provide collaboration capabilities such as workflow, online meetings, subscriptions, and discussion threads, making it possible for dispersed design teams to productively collaborate on the same design
Project managers, product engineers, manufacturing engineers, purchasing, document controllers, etc. may contribute through real-time collaboration using such capabilities as on-line meetings, 3D design reviews, downloading of derived outputs for subsequent downstream analysis and/or consumption of data into other post design applications. ENOVIA Designer Central provides a means for users to complete these activities successfully without access to any 2D and/or 3D CAD modeling tool through direct access to the data provided.
