PRO.FILE keeps processes flowing in high tech and electronics

Product lifecycle management and technical document management are disciplines where many companies in the high tech and electrical and electronics manufacturing industries in particular lag behind. Similar to mechanical and plant engineering, this industry relies heavily on technical data and structures, documents, and compliance standards. PRO.FILE gives you
  • best practice product lifecycle management
  • ECAD integrations
  • document control for technical and business documents

RFC

Over the past years, RCF has grown into a brand leader for professional audio and live sound equipment. Throughout its company history, RCF has expanded and diversified its range of products to meet all sound and music amplification needs: from individual products to complete solutions, from small systems to large and complex projects. Today, RCF employs over 250 people and sells its products in 100 countries worldwide.
The company focuses on products and the management of changes, making versions and compatibility with other products essential to their business. This creates large and complex data sets whose management was the challenge that prompted them to look for an effective PLM/DMStec system.

“With every new product, our file system-based management became less and less efficient. And the need to implement a solution that would manage our documents and associated items became more and more pressing. We also had to make sure that the solution would integrate seamlessly with our MCAD, ECAD and ERP systemss,” explains Luca Canovi, R&D Project Manager at RCF.

For RCF, advanced product management is all about being able to aggregate the information and documents pertaining to their products in a structured way. PRO.FILE enables RCF to centrally store and archive all of its data in a unique, easily accessible and secure structure. When it comes to the integration of software applications, the PLM system is able to integrate engineering and production and managed the bi-directional flow of information between CAD, Office, and ERP.

"With every new product, our file system-based management became less and less efficient. And the need to implement a solution that would manage our documents and associated items became more and more pressing. We also had to make sure that the solution would integrate seamlessly with our MCAD, ECAD and ERP systems."

"PRO.FILE transformed the product structure into a single source of truth where all product-related information and documents come together to always ensure an accurate and up-to-date overall picture."

Baumann

With office and manufacturing facilities covering 215,000 square feet, Baumann Automation develops and produces turnkey automation systems for customers from various international industries including the automotive supplies, electronics, domestic appliances, telecommunications, medical technology and photovoltaic sectors.
The company embraced the need to replace PSP as an opportunity to do away with gaps and obstacles in its product development processes.

This created a seamless product lifecycle management (PLM) solution that delivers multi-CAD integration, mechatronics capabilities, project management, and DMStec functionality.

65 Inventor designers and the EPLAN team now use PRO.FILE to generate mechatronics BOM rather than multiple separate BOM. On top of that, item master data is automatically passed on to the APplus ERP solution.

"We wanted to take the need to replace PSP as an opportunity to do away with gaps and obstacles in our product development processes. Today, our part master data serves as the governing element to merge product data and documents. PRO.FILE now automatically synchronizes this data between the CAD system and the ERP system. Employees from all departments now work from the same data."

Kuka

Founded in 1982 as LSW Maschinenfabrik GmbH, the company now operating as KUKA Systems GmbH is a supplier to the automotive industry. Its Assembly & Test division builds computer-based automation systems for the efficient assembly of driveline products.
KUKA Systems uses PRO.FILE to manage and document its product development processes and quality management of production lines across departmental boundaries. The optimization of its parts management both with regard to drawings and norm and purchased parts were among the company’s main reasons for implementing PRO.FILE.

KUKA Systems achieved this by integrating PRO.FILE with SolidWorks and PARTsolutions from CADENAS on the engineering/IT level and with SAP on the business/IT level von CADENAS.

"Every engineer can now see right away whether a purchased part is permitted, not permitted, or phased out. The effort of setting up this system has truly paid off: The number of newly created part master records of purchased parts in SAP has been reduced by 35% over the last 3 years."
