Product Lifecycle Management [PLM]
SoftExpert shows Manufacturers how to Integrate Product Development with Manufacturing Processes through a Quality Focused PLM
This video-oriented presentation series SoftExpert shows manufacturers how they can improve their new product development processes by implementing a PLM strategy that unifies Product, Process, Quality, and Manufacturing processes.
At the heart of the new product development program are results from a recent survey of Manufacturing Business Technology magazine's readership that gauges new product development challenges and solutions as a means to improving:
- Process management: establishing consistency and repeatability;
- Product development: beating the competition to market with the right product;
- Manufacturing engineering: speeding production, and synchronizing suppliers.
SE Suite is a comprehensive family of modular, yet integrated solutions addressing the product lifecycle management [PLM] needs. SE Suite is the only solution that has effectively delivered a unified Product, Process, Quality and Manufacturing solution from a single supplier, tailored specifically to the needs of any-sized manufacturers.
The SE Suite includes modules such as Product Data Management [PDM], Process Data Management, Project & Portfolio Management, Change Management, Advanced Product Quality Process [APQP-PPAP], Failure Mode and Effect Analysis [FMEA], Statistical Process Control [SPC], Incoming & Outgoing Inspection, and others. Through its CAD Connector components, including SolidWorks® and Solid Edge®, SE Suite enables companies to transform their product development processes and bring twice as many new products to market each year.
This presentation shows how the next phase in the evolution from design to manufacturing collaboration will be a fully collaborative model that will embrace Product Development, Quality Assurance and Manufacturing processes sharing in a much more natural, people-centric way of collaborating.

The first video shows how SE Suite unifies all Product/Process/Quality Definition Records in a single centralized repository, ensuring consistent and reliable information amongst departments, suppliers and customers. |

 |
The second video shows how SE Suite easily automates a controlled revision applied to a manufacturing process change using its native graphical flowchart tool. This process revision history ensures a higher level of data protection and integrity as all process revisions are stored securely in a single centralized repository. |

 |
And the third video shows how a manufacturing process change proactively triggers a set of tasks and validations around all SoftExpert PLM Suite, including process FMEA, product records, and control plans, thus ensuring a fast, reliable, and accurate framework that integrates all departments in a unified PLM environment. |

The product data exchange between heterogeneous MCAD and PDM systems is a crucial issue for the integration of product development systems. This Video-oriented presentation shows how SoftExpert PDM integrates with Mechanical Computer Aided Design applications. It starts with an overview of the integration architecture. Then it states the main benefits companies can achieve from this seamless integration. After, it shows how SE PDM efficiently manages part file and metadata, product structure, dimensions, and controlled characteristics. We used SolidWorks as an example, although it can also be integrated with Solid Edge. Integration with other CAD applications is under development, and will be available soon. |
