What does pdm mean?

The Chinese name of PDM is product data management, which is a technology used to manage all product-related information (including parts information, configuration, documents, CAD files, structure, authority information, etc.). ) and all product-related processes (including process definition and management).

Through the implementation of PDM, the production efficiency can be improved, which is conducive to the management of product life cycle, strengthening the efficient use of documents, drawings and data, and standardizing the workflow.

PDM manufacturing process data document management system can effectively organize enterprises to produce process cards, part blueprints, three-dimensional digital models, tool lists, quality documents and numerical control programs, and realize paperless production in workshops.

PDM stands for product data management.

Once CIMdata is defined:

"PDM is a tool to help engineers and other people manage product data and product development process. The PDM system ensures that a large amount of data and information needed for design and manufacturing are tracked, so that products are supported and maintained. "

From the data point of view, PDM system can help organize product design, improve product structure modification, track developing design concepts, and find archive data and related product information in time and conveniently.

From the process point of view, PDM system can coordinate and organize process events such as design review, approval, change, workflow optimization and product release in the whole product life cycle. (In PDM, the process of product development and related data and resources are managed through life cycle management, workflow management, R&D project management and resource allocation management. )

Product data management (PDM) can also be defined in this popular way:

It is a method to manage the product development and design process of manufacturing enterprises by using data model, and its goal is to generate complete technical data needed for product development, design and manufacturing by using an integrated information system.
