Predator PDM (Product Data Management) software allows you to create a paperless manufacturing environment with built-in revision control and workflow optimization.
Organize Your Shop Floor with Predator Product Data Management
After implementing Predator PDM, you will have everything you need, from CNC programs, to process sheets, setup sheets, inspection sheets, and more, in a single accessible location for everyone on your shop floor. The software promotes best practice workflows and ensures you’re making the right part every time with all your documentation in one place.
From startups to global OEMs, Predator PDM will bring order to the smallest shop or can be scaled to connect multiple plants. Using industry-standard technology, Predator PDM reduces downtime, promotes efficiency, and supports audit trails and ISO implementation. Available in both Standard and Enterprise versions, it is compatible with Predator DNC, MDC, Editor, Tracker, and more.
Predator PDM includes best practice workflow wizards for release,
unrelease, revise, rollback, check-in and check-out. These wizards honor
permissions and include ISO 9000 style history.
