Structured Specifications and Smarter Handoffs for Apple DCE

Apple DCE teams are driving toward a future where specifications, design, and operations aren’t managed in silos but flow seamlessly together. By structuring specifications as living data, Apple can move beyond static documents and make requirements easier to search and reuse. Drawings and 3D models can be brought together in one environment, so teams can visualize and coordinate with less friction. That same information can carry forward into operations, making it easier to hand off, maintain, and improve facilities over the long term.

Unified View of Drawings & Models

Bring all the different drawings and 3D models into one central place so teams don’t waste time hunting for files.

Tagging and Workflow into CMMS

Tag specs, drawings, and models so they can flow through the review/approval process in a structured way, and then hand that same information over to operations systems (like CMMS) in a searchable, usable format.
