Business Scenarios
In various business scenarios, the need for engineering unification becomes evident.
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
In today’s global and expansive corporate landscape, companies often engage in mergers and acquisitions to enhance synergies in their operations. When mergers occur, often comes the challenge to unify the engineering processes of the two companies.
Standardizations
As companies and supply chains expand, they inevitably reach a stage where multiple divisions, teams, and suppliers utilize various CAD systems. This diversity creates the need for standardization of CAD systems to ensure seamless collaboration and efficiency.
CAD Switch
In some instances, companies decide to transition from their existing CAD system to another for strategic reasons.
Need for Engineering Unification
Engineering unification is a necessity in all these cases.
When embarking on new product development using a unified CAD system,
companies face the task of migrating data from one CAD system to another.
Migration Methodology
Historically, there have been different approaches to addressing this challenge. One involves training engineers on the new CAD system and recreating drawings and models from scratch—an endeavor demanding substantial resources and time. Another is outsourcing, wherein a firm located globally remasters the drawings and models, albeit with significant financial investment. Additionally, validating the accuracy of the remastered drawings/models and ensuring the outcome’s quality becomes crucial.
Intelligent QA Reports
Enter Elysium CADfeature, to tackle these challenges. CADfeature facilitates the transfer of CAD data from one system to another, encompassing features and associative drawings. The inclusion of intelligent QA Reports ensures the migration’s quality, marking a significant shift to eliminate migration challenges.
Key Points to Consider
While it is important to understand limitations associated with any CAD migration, CADfeature significantly accelerates and simplifies the migration process compared to redrawing or remodeling from scratch, even if not all features are migrated.
