3 2 - Enterprise Connectivity Pack Share the right information easily Do you always type the same information over and over again when communicating to other departments? Do you have to switch back and forth between applications to piece the puzzle together? Is the information you receive from other departments incomplete, out of date or error-ridden? The Enterprise Connectivity Pack consists of a set of tools to easily share information among departments. The right information reaches the right people without the need for re-typing. This saves time and improves data quality and availability. With Enterprise Automation Pack we are able to match ERP data to our CAD files, so ERP remains the master of our data and the data quality is safeguarded.

4 3 - Enterprise Quality Assurance Pack Improves process and user management Do changes in Standards/Regulations or Certificates not always reach the right people? Is user management and ensuring they see only correct and relevant information becoming a nightmare? Do you need better control of the release process to guarantee quality? The Enterprise Quality Assurance pack allows you to get a better grip of the overall process and prepare for compliance to regulatory requirements. Users are better informed of important changes in key (regulation) documents and are assisted in the release process. Permissions for users are managed more transparently, thus reducing the administrative overhead and guaranteeing correct access rights. UGR-Tool Smart role assignment for individual users in large organizations. - Advanced authorization model for groups. - Flexible folder and project authorization. Reference Validator Configuring the life cycle state of referenced documents. During release of a structure, the status of all references is checked to meet minimum conditions. - Use EPDM to enforce regulatory compliancy rules in a more automated way. - Automatic verification of consistency. 4 - Enterprise Productivity Pack Automates common engineering tasks Have you ever mixed up references (old part linked to new drawing) when renaming a model and drawing? Wouldn t it be helpful to automatically provide job preparation with basic product information like dimensions, number of bends and weight? Are you still using an Excel list for numbering your models because SOLIDWORKS EPDM cannot handle your numbering plan? If this sounds familiar, the Enterprise Productivity Pack is the solution. It adds several power functions, extending SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS EPDM functionality in these fields. This prevents common errors and frees up time because data does not have to be corrected. SaveAs with drawing - Automatically renames related drawings - Prevents errors in renaming models Bounding Box Automatic extraction of relevant information for production, like cutting contours and number of bends. Numbering Extends the functionality of EPDM to allow for more complex numbers with separators. A Modulo 97 check is added for additional verification

5 5 - Enterprise Manufacturing Pack The right information in the right place How much time do your engineers spend providing departments like Material Handling/ Job preparation with the additional information? Ever get tired of creating those flat pattern DXF files for production? If collecting information or creating output formats for production is taking up too much of your time, the Enterprise Manufacturing Pack will provide relief. The right information automatically arrives at the right place. It reduces the work preparation time, eliminates errors and the overall efficiency increases. ERP Material & Operations Wizard Short cut process-planning by integrating tasks in the engineering process. - Capture information from earlier stages in the engineering process. - Save time and reduce errors by re-using material and operation information when deriving one part from another. Bounding Box Automatic extraction of relevant information for production, like cutting contours and number of bends.
