5.1.2. Target groups

Strategic parts management is functional, integrating, standardizing!

  • Functional parts management

    Target group: Design/engineer

    - Digital parts libraries
    - Large content; over 1000 catalogs [09/2025]; standards, factory standards, companies, symbols,...
    - SmartPARTS -->Kinematics
    - Diverse research and finding methods
    - Geometric similarity search
    - Plant parts can be managed under the same interface
    - Classification system

  • Integrated parts management

    Target group: IT/ERP/PLM

    - Workflows:
    Existing CAD purchased parts/components with material and document master are extracted (checked out) from the EDM/PDM after selection via ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit. New CAD purchased parts/components are generated as native (original) CAD geometry via ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit and made known (checked in) with the available attributes according to the company-specific workflows in ERP/PPS and/or EDM/PDM; if necessary, creation of a new material master in ERP/PPS; then, if necessary, creation of a new document master in EDM/PDM; only then, if necessary, transfer to the CAD system.
    - Always up-to-date parts thanks to update concept

  • Standardizing parts management

    Target group: Management/ Cost reduction

    - Integration of ERP -> All information in one interface
    -Central creation of new parts
    - Export filter functions -> Part reduction
    - Supply chain optimization
    - Geometric search/comparison
    - Duplicate reduction
