Multi-CAx Management

In order to succeed in an increasingly competitive market, manufacturing companies need to focus on business design processes and managing intellectual assets effectively across the supply chain. In addition, product development teams must often draw expertise from such diverse disciplines as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, software programming, packaging engineering, etc. All this contributes to considerable challenges for bringing products to market successfully and often causes errors and delays in meeting the needs of customers.

ENOVIA's solution for Multi-CAx Management helps companies handle product design activities and the coordination tasks associated with them. We enable designers around the world to manage and collaborate from one platform, no matter what design tools they are using. ENOVIA's solution eliminates the need for multiple computer aided design (CAD) work-group managers and the cost associated with supporting each related data manager. Through its unique and open architecture, ENOVIA's solution can be deployed and supported from a central location, while the file locations can be distributed and controlled around the world to provide end-users with expected performance during file downloads and uploads.

Due to the growing content of electronic and software components inside modern medical equipment, we support a large range of CAD translators as well as industry exchange standards to import data from third-party EDA (electronic design automation) and software design systems. Product designs can be synchronized to the parts in the engineering bill of materials (EBOM) so that the overall product development process stays coordinated. ENOVIA's solution for Multi-CAx Management provides collaboration tools to communicate synchronously or asynchronously across the globe. With ENOVIA's solution, unnecessary design iterations can be reduced and realtime viewing and mark-up of design can occur even in the absence of native design tools. Meetings can be scheduled with design content securely provided as part of the meeting, while discussion threads and mark-ups allow for the capture of innovative thoughts in a natural, informal way without restricting end-user creativity.
