As product development processes have become more complex, efficient workflow management through optimized data handling has become crucial for brands. The sheer volume of data associated with new products makes manual management or non-synchronized exports impractical and risky. High-quality product design and production requires managing intricate details and extensive data, including 3D and 2D designs, material specifications, and operations. Therefore, implementing a Product Data Management solution is essential for companies to remain competitive.
When natively integrated with your CAD application, the PDM system helps you seamlessly manage the flow of data across your value chain while improving the reliability in the overall process.
The benefits of Romans CAD Product Data Management
Organization and efficiency: Acting as the backbone of your Digital Product Creation (DPC) process, our PDM centralizes and values all technical data by storing and tracing all your work in a smart and structured way. In addition, security is guaranteed through user profiles and access rights.
Better Collaboration: PDM enhances collaboration among dispersed teams, allowing product development, production, commercial and marketing teams to work together seamlessly within a unique environment. Depending on their user rights, internal and external stakeholders can access and edit data, ensuring cohesive teamwork.
Reduced Errors: A PDM system allows you to focus on high-added-value tasks by updating automatically all your technical reports, therefore reducing risks of errors arising from manual input. When interfaced with your other applications (PLM, ERP) our PDM pushes automatically the latest up-to-date data, increasing reliability across your information system.
Scalability: PDM becomes indispensable as projects grow in size and complexity. It helps manage increasing amounts of data efficiently, allowing companies to scale operations without damaging control and quality in the product development cycle.
How to Get Started with Romans CAD PDM Our PDM system is structured around four modules, each serving a critical function:
Document Vault (DV): Backbone of our PDM system, DV enables you to build, store and track data such as raw materials, digitized lasts, components, 3D models and 2D pattern files.
Engineering: This module is designed to help you create and manage all variants of the same model and generate detailed and accurate technical reports, with over 16 reports available (incl. Bill of Materials, Parts Lists, Pre-Costing, Collection Books, etc.) to support various aspects of your product development. Another key differentiating factor of the Engineering module is its ability to automatically update all related technical reports whether you modify something at the 3D, 2D or any level at any given time.
Pre-Costing: Pre-Costing allows you to estimate the manufacturing cost early in the product development process. Available both at the 3D and 2D levels, it ensures each product developed meets the target price before even manufacturing a prototype. A detailed breakdown of the overall cost is then summarized in a pre-costing report.
Colorize: A module that gives you endless possibilities to create SKUs, including materials and colors variants, to support a diverse and flexible product catalog.
Romans CAD PDM offers flexibility with quick-start delivery options, allowing brands to implement it rapidly and scale as needed. Whether you are a large powerhouse or a small to medium-sized business, RCS PDM offers tailored solutions to meet your specific requirements.
