Engineering Data is Your Most Valuable Asset

PlanetCAD solutions provide value to the entire manufacturing enterprise - OEMs, suppliers and consultants - by revealing and integrating critical engineering data to the extended manufacturing supply chain. PlanetCAD solutions bridge the gaps that currently exist between the manufacturing supply chain operation and the "islands" of design automation, to save money, time and effort in critical manufacturing projects.

Engineering departments have long remained separate from the mainstream manufacturing operations because of a perception of the designers' 'mystique': This has been caused by the history of disparate, complex and costly 3D industrial design systems that traditionally have been too proprietary to connect into the mainstream networks and operations. But, technologically, that time has passed: the need for homogenous engineering data is critical, and the standardization of both Unix and Windows hardware platforms means that networks can now support all types of system. There is no longer a technical excuse for the separation of engineering departments with the rest of your manufacturing operation, if you implement PlanetCAD solutions.

PlanetCAD solutions offer immediate relief of issues relating to connecting industrial design processes with the rest of the supply chain. These include:

Interoperability of 3D data throughout the supply chain
Accessibility of engineering information
Proving and monitoring quality of designs
Improving quality of geometric information

Efficient improvements

By improving interoperability, quality and accessibility of fundamental product engineering data, companies can dramatically improve their manufacturing processes. Proven Return on Investment in PlanetCAD products are generated through measurables such as:

Reduced or even eliminted engineering design changes
Noticeably improved time-to-market
Defect-free products
Dramatically improved design standards and practises

These efficiency measures are created by implementing solutions from PlanetCAD such as:

PrescientQA
