By: PROCAD GmbH & Co. KG It was also the perfect opportunity for its employees to get hands-on advice on how to make the most of the PDM/PLM and DMS application. On top of that, they were given in-depth insights into the methods and challenges of going digital in the context of working with PRO.FILE and its PRO.CEED add-on. elumatec's incumbent data management system had fallen behind the demands placed on seamless product lifecycle management (https://www.procad.de/ PROCAD's experts kicked off the project by migrating 15 years' worth of product information from the legacy system to PRO.FILE: drawing data from Inventor and AutoCAD along with any accompanying documents, BOMs from SAP, and Office documents detailing customer projects that were previously stored in the file system.

Defining document forms and material masters or creating our own customized document classifications and permission system are just two examples. That is exactly what we expect from a modern PDM/PLM system," Kay Gayer concludes. End
