Capture documents
Drawings, CAD exports and specs are attached to items and operations instead of living in shared folders.

How it works
PDM, step by step
One controlled home for drawings, specifications and revisions.
Control revisions
Every change gets a revision, an author and an approval trail; superseded files stay readable but clearly retired.
Publish to the floor
Operators always open the current revision from the work order — no printed copies to go stale.

The engineering source of truth
PDM keeps every technical artefact — CAD models, drawings, firmware, PDFs — under versioning with check-in / check-out, so nobody manufactures from an outdated file.
Engineering change under control
Engineering Change Notices (ECN) drive BOM revisions through a controlled approval flow. Before a change is released, impact analysis shows exactly what it hits: current stock, work in progress, open purchase orders and released production orders.
Connected, not isolated
CAD connectors (e.g. SolidWorks) push revisions into the same loop production and purchasing already work in.
Every engineering artefact — CAD models and drawings, firmware, test protocols and PDFs — lives under check-in/check-out with a revision history that cannot be quietly overwritten. Engineering Change Notices carry the change through review and approval, and impact analysis shows what the change touches before it is released: which BOMs, which open manufacturing orders, which stock on hand and which work in progress. CAD connectors keep the design tool and the system in step, so the shop floor never works from a superseded drawing.
