ADEPT FOR PRODUCT DATA MANAGEMENT (PDM)

PDM-Drawing-sm800

Adept connects enterprise-wide design, quality, manufacturing, and operations so you can transform new ideas into amazing products faster. Streamline engineering change, communicate designs efficiently, deliver higher quality products, and protect your intellectual property with Adept product data management software.

Components of Adept product data management software:

“Adept gives us SOLIDWORKS-capable product data management and a single repository for all our documents across Germany, India, Ireland, and the United States. It’s helped us run the business more efficiently, shortened our design cycle, enabled faster response to customers, and ultimately improved our sales.”

Mainstream CAD Systems

Use all your favorite CAD tools.

Unlike the CAD vendors, we build comprehensive integrations that work equally well across multiple CAD systems.

Adept Inside Inventor and AutoCAD

Stay focused on design.

Adept product data management software runs inside Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD so your designers have fast access to the data management tools and best practices they need to streamline their design workflow.

An expandable Adept Task Pane lets you:

Advanced Version Control

Get control of your versions.

No more duplicates and expensive mistakes. Adept PDM software for CAD ensures everyone has access to the correct part, assembly, drawing, or configuration.

Major/Minor versions - Design teams can increment minor versions in a design phase and major versions upon pre-defined approval processes.

References - Control if a parent file references the latest version of a child file or is docked to a specific version.

Revisions - Adept can auto-increment your custom revision number in your title block upon check in/out or upon final approval.

File Relationship Management

No more broken relationships.

The Adept PDM system keeps CAD file relationships intact as they are checked in/out, routed through workflows, moved, or renamed. This includes parts, assemblies, drawings, configurations, XREFs, and more. A tree view displays where-used and composed-of information so you understand the impact of any change.

3D - Supports parts, assemblies, drawings and configurations.
2D - Supports XREFS, References, and image file relationships.

"Our systems have anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 parts on them. Trying to manage Inventor assemblies on that number of parts along with their various revisions and changes is impossible to imagine without some sort of a document management system.”
