PDM (Product Data Management)

What is PDM?
PDM (Product Data Management) is an information system that enables the management and organization of technical product data within a company. We discuss CAD files, BOMs, technical specifications, revisions, related documents, and metadata. PDM makes it possible to track changes, control versions, manage access rights, and foster collaboration between designers and other business departments. In manufacturing, it represents the first step toward digitizing design, serving as a robust database for integrations with PLM, ERP and other enterprise systems.
How Var Industries supports companies with PDM

Var Industries offers scalable, integrated PDM solutions that help manufacturing companies accurately manage product data throughout the development cycle. With platforms such as SolidRules and Teamcenter, it is possible to centrally store technical files, automate release and modification processes, and ensure complete traceability of information. Native integration with software CAD and multi-CAD environments enables simplified workflows, reduced errors and duplication, and increased efficiency. PDM thus becomes a key tool for improving data quality and accelerating time-to-market.
