SOLIDWORKS PRODUCT DATA MANAGEMENT
SOLIDWORKS PDM is a full-featured data management solution for organizations large and small. It lets you find and repurpose files, parts, and drawings. It enables users to share design information, automate workflows, and ensure manufacturing always has the right version.
Hawk Ridge Systems has extensive experience implementing PDM systems for our customers, and we can combine the simplicity of our pre-configured vaults with unique customization to meet your organization's specific needs- leading to fast, low-cost implementations.
SOLIDWORKS PDM PROFESSIONAL
Our flagship data management solution, SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional leverages the power and flexibility of Microsoft SQL to control the design and engineering data across the enterprise, or within your design team. SOLIDWORKS PDM operates within Windows Explorer, and uses familiar file management workflows, making it accessible for both engineering designers and other company stakeholders.
- Keep track of revisions and versions, avoiding manufacturing mistakes.
- Reduce the time to complete your design approval and ECO change processes.
- Maintain, manipulate, and leverage Bill of Materials (BOM) information for downstream processes
- Automate tasks and approval processes as designs move through the product lifecycle
- Efficiently collaborate and replicate data across multiple sites and teams.
SOLIDWORKS PDM STANDARD
Included with every license of SOLIDWORKS Professional and Premium, SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard is an entry-level data management system for small design teams and workgroups. Built on Microsoft SQL Express, it provides important version control capabilities and establishes an audit trail for the design process. It includes:
- User and access control so that the right people can see and edit your data
- Revision and version management to avoid manufacturing errors
- Integrated 3D eDrawings preview for all users that is built into Windows Explorer
- Rich search and data-reuse tools

NEVER LOSE OR OVERWRITE A FILE AGAIN WITH SOLIDWORKS PDM
Organizations without a data management strategy typically experience lost time, and unnecessary errors caused by misplaced files, incorrect revisions, duplicated effort and manual file transfers via email, or file transfer tools.
SOLIDWORKS PDM resolves all of these problems, by providing an easy-to-configure and easy-to-use tool to give the right people the right level of access to the right files. It allows your design teams to focus on the product, rather than file management and makes design information available to the rest of the company for downstream processes.
