eCADinfo - Engineering Data Management Features

Engineering Data Management System

Store a wide range of engineering data types including version-controlled files, non-version controlled files, databases, folders and web links.

Organize data in a user configurable hierarchy that is most meaningful to you and meets your existing engineering processes.

Create fully configurable databases to store instrument, equipment or system specifications. Create Preferred Lists of standard parts for reduced data entry & standardization.

Engineering drawings & other files are stored in a secure File Vault with version control, configurable version numbering and check in/check out features. Archive previous versions. Assign automatic version label templates based on folders or drawing types.

Visualize relationships between objects such as drawings, procedures and specifications, to predict the impact of engineering changes. Create maintenance/change logs to track changes.

Create threaded discussion groups organized by topic. Attach notes to objects to store maintenance information or pass on instructions between shifts and operating personnel.

Create a standardized collection of engineering data objects to represent complex equipment/system types for consistency and re-use.

Import/Export data from desktop applications. Integrate with existing systems such as CMMS, ERP, MES and LIMS.

View an audit trail of all engineering changes including changes to drawing attributes, blocks and layers. Visually compare drawing versions or database changes. Display, group and query the audit trail.

Create e-signature templates defining the engineering operations that require e-signatures and apply templates to objects for unlimited flexibility and control. Define e-signature roles (meanings) and restrict e-signature authority to specific roles.

Create any number of security templates defining access levels, and apply templates to objects & actions for unprecedented flexibility and control.
