Is Your Parts Data Ready For an Improved PLM?

Arm Your Engineers With Better Data

Your PLM System is Only as Good as the Quality of Your Data

 

Today’s PLM systems have enhanced their searching technologies to make it easier for engineers to find preferred parts for their designs. Looking to capitalize on these new capabilities? Convergence Data can help by classifying your parts, normalizing your data, and standardizing the clean data—in a way that makes sense for your business.

Capitalize On Your PLM Investment With Better Data

The fastest way to cheapen your PLM investment? Migrating dirty data and duplicate parts into your PLM system. A migration is the prime opportunity to categorize and normalize data across your business groups—here’s how we can help you get the most from your PLM.

Phase 1: Data Enrichment

 

Our PLM project engagements begin with data enrichment. We start by setting up a classification structure in our DFR software that aligns with your parts data. Based on the value, we prioritize parts for classification by sharing and mitigating current duplication issues.

Phase 2: PLM Integration

 

During the second phase, our team will validate your data for export to the PLM system—validation rules in our DFR software can be customized to fit your PLM system, so you’ll never have to worry about the cleansed data meeting the requirements of its destination system. Export files, including schemas and attribute data, are then exported and loaded into the PLM.
