CIMer Design Document & Drawing Management

CIMer's core "Design Data Image and Text Management" is "Design Data Lifecycle Management." It's not just about storing files, but about comprehensively managing CAD models, 2D engineering drawings, technical documents, specifications, SOPs, BOMs, revisions, and workflow approvals, forming a complete "Digital R&D Data Center."

PDM Design Data Management
Traditional document management vs. CIMer design data and graphic management
From "simple archiving" to "integrated R&D process"
Traditional document management CIMer Design Graphics Management
Isolated storage: Files are scattered in folders or FTP sites, with weak correlation to CAD models and BOMs. Deep integration with CAD: Manage directly within the design environment (such as mainstream CAD software like SolidWorks and Creo), and automatically read attribute information.
Manual naming search: Relying on manual naming rules, searching for images is time-consuming and prone to errors. Version correlation transparency: Drawings are closely linked to project tasks and Change Requests (ECNs) to ensure data consistency.
Process disruption: After a drawing is modified, relevant units need to be manually notified, resulting in information asynchrony. Distributed acceleration: As you mentioned earlier, cross-border locations can quickly open large image files through caching.
Through CIMer's core architecture for graphic management, CAD/document versions, revisions, workflows, permissions, BOMs, projects, and ERP are integrated and linked. "Drawings are not isolated files" but are fully associated with projects, part numbers, BOMs, ECOs, ECNs, ECRs, and ERP systems.
1
Centralized management of CAD drawings
Support SolidWorks, Creo, NX, Inventor, CATIA, AutoCAD
2
Multi-CAD Graphic Management
3D models, 2D engineering drawings, assembly drawings, STEP files, PDFs, Office documents, audio and video files, etc.
3
Multi-CAD: Managing All CAD Documents
Avoid scattered drawings, missing latest versions, and disorganized shared folders; centralize management, automatically categorize, and group related files.
4
Check-in/Check-out mechanism
To avoid simultaneous overwriting, accidental modification, or old versions overwriting new versions, if engineer A is editing, the drawing will be locked, and others can only read it.
5
Version/Revision Management
Version is the working version, automatically saving history with each modification, allowing for retrospective analysis and comparison of differences. It meets ISO, audit, and customer verification requirements.
6
Files associated with CAD
Directly manage product data. "Project = Product Data Collection" includes CAD drawings, BOM, ECO, test reports, Office documents, PDFs, audio and video files, ERP data, etc.
7
Image and text association management
Beyond the file system, the "product data association platform" includes 3D models, 2D drawings, BOMs, part numbers, and ECOs. Modifications to the CAD file result in synchronized BOM updates, drawing and revision synchronization, and are executable on non-NAS systems.
8
Document categorization and search support
Keywords, such as part number, project, customer, model, metadata, etc.
CIMer's Core Value in Design Data and Image Management
CIMer PDM will develop: AI drawing search, similar part search, BOM analysis, document Q&A, and web drawing browsing. Managers or factory personnel can implement paperless factory operations through a web viewer architecture on browsers, iPads, and mobile devices without needing CAD software. They can view drawings, take measurements, annotate, approve, and view BOMs, reducing CAD licensing costs.

CIMer extends its design data and graphic management to the "Global R&D Data Platform".
General document management systems, even those like NAS, SharePoint, ERP, and standard DMS, only offer basic functions such as archiving, document collaboration, material management, and document workflow. However, the true core value of CIMer's document management lies in "digitizing R&D knowledge," achieving integration of drawings, BOMs, ECOs, and CAD. This makes it particularly suitable for companies with numerous CAD files, frequent version updates, and multi-person collaboration.
