PDM/PLM Practices and Knowledge

For small R&D teams seeking rapid deployment and reasonable costs, CIMer PDM offers the most practical solutions. We understand that implementing PDM should not merely be a change of tools for engineers, but a digital upgrade of operational processes aimed at breaking down departmental silos.

With the increasing globalization of business operations, companies are expanding in scale and market reach. Coupled with the diversification of consumer spending patterns, the organizational structure and product structure of businesses are becoming increasingly complex. In this transformation of business structure and market landscape, the effective management and rapid utilization of various types of company information (such as design, production, and finance) has become crucial for gaining a competitive advantage.

In the PDM collaborative design process, version and version number are crucial concepts. A version refers to a specific state of a drawing, document, or data. A version number is used to distinguish different versions; version numbers can be divided into major and minor version numbers. A major version number indicates a significant design change or important product version, while a minor version number indicates a minor change or fix.

1. Simultaneous Changes to Multiple Versions: When multiple versions of data are changed simultaneously, detailed coordination and management of the changes are required. In this case, it is necessary to distinguish and identify the data of different versions to ensure consistency between them. 2. Complex Relationships Between Multiple Design Projects: In actual design projects, different design projects may have complex relationships, such as hierarchical relationships and dependencies.
