5.1.2. Target groups

Strategic parts management is functional, integrating, standardizing!

Functional parts management

Target group: Design/engineer

- Digital parts libraries

- Large content; over 1000 catalogs [09/2025]; standards, factory standards, companies, symbols,...

- SmartPARTS -->Kinematics

- Diverse research and finding methods

- Geometric similarity search

- Plant parts can be managed under the same interface

- Classification system

Integrated parts management

Target group: IT/ERP/PLM

- Workflows:

Existing CAD purchased parts/components with material and document master are extracted (checked out) from the EDM/PDM after selection via ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit. New CAD purchased parts/components are generated as native (original) CAD geometry via ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit and made known (checked in) with the available attributes according to the company-specific workflows in ERP/PPS and/or EDM/PDM; if necessary, creation of a new material master in ERP/PPS; then, if necessary, creation of a new document master in EDM/PDM; only then, if necessary, transfer to the CAD system.

- Always up-to-date parts thanks to update concept

Standardizing parts management

Target group: Management/ Cost reduction

- Integration of ERP -> All information in one interface

-Central creation of new parts

- Export filter functions -> Part reduction

- Supply chain optimization

- Geometric search/comparison

- Duplicate reduction
