PRO.FILE Product Lifecycle Management; Manage and automate PLM processes

The success of your business is largely determined by the contribution that projects and processes make to the profitability of the company.
PRO.FILE is the no-nonsense solution for the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process for industrial organizations and offers a company-wide solution for managing product data over the entire life cycle of the product (from design to end-of-life). PDM, PLM, DMStec and archiving in one system that organizes all your design and product data based on your own product structure and within which you yourself arrange how you manage and manage your documents. The basic components are an electronic vault / database for storing all product data, product structures and bills of materials and engineering data (CAD). Access to the data in it is done via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and is protected and controlled via user rights. By assigning digital lifecycles / workflows the status of the data is recorded and per document the possibilities are determined, for example whether it is allowed to make an overhaul or to make a change in the data. Because all information is stored in a database, the retrieval of data and reuse of parts is increasingly possible and more effective.

PLM Xpert and Ridder Data Systems: Partners with a clear PLM vision

PRO.FILE is the Multi ERP solution

Integration is synergy.
Ridder and PRO.FILE complement each other perfectly in the manufacturing industry. In the manufacturing industry, it is important that a development that arises during Engineering ties in well with the process of further processing and follow-up on the logistics side. In addition, the Engineer wants insight into all kinds of data from logistics in order to be able to make well-considered decisions.

Project Lifecycle Management (PLM)

A company from the manufacturing industry is able to efficiently process orders during the entire primary process with the help of PRO.FILE and Ridder. This creates an optimal PLM for your projects. PRO.FILE is able to integrate at a high level with all major 3D CAD systems and does the same for ElectroCAD and Plant systems. Subsequently, the link is not just "a bill of materials over the wall", but a subsequent process, in which changes can also be implemented in a controlled manner.

Why Product Data Management and Document Management?

  • Unmanaged and unstructured product data and documents slow down the lead time of your projects.
  • The quality of the information is not guaranteed.

Below we list a number of important benefits of PDM

  • High traceability of documents and data
  • Avoid duplication / reduction of duplicate parts
  • Shorter development time
  • Improved collaboration and communication
  • Fewer new parts (stock places)
  • Correct information (version / status), fewer errors
  • Faster implementation of changes
  • Unlocking knowledge
  • Prevention of consequential costs
