Centralized management of design data and related information【DataServer】

basic information

DataServer consists of the following programs and implementation services. ◆DataServer Base This is the basic functionality of DataServer. It allows the use of fundamental features such as exclusive control, revision management, and user management. Additionally, design documents created on the client side are centrally managed as a common master on the web server. ◆MICRO CADAM Option - Automatic attribute registration of notes from the MICRO CADAM drawing title block and search functionality by drawing attributes - Approval workflow and seal support - Integration with a markup-capable viewer (HD XViewer) - Creation of distribution PDFs ◆SOLIDWORKS Option - Attribute search for 3D models / feature name search - Configuration management of assembly model structures - Reuse copy function ◆CATIA Option - Attribute search for 3D models / feature name search - Configuration management of assembly model structures - Reuse copy function If you would like a trial version or monitor (free), please apply from the product introduction page.

Detailed information

• 

  <PDM solution for achieving team design/model management at low cost> The design document management system (DataServer) is a PDM solution that securely manages and shares 3D CAD models, drawings, and design documents for team design. It can be quickly and affordably set up in a small environment without the need for a database. The operation system specialized for team design and design document sharing reduces the burden on designers, allowing for a worry-free experience.

• 

  <A Simple Interface/Usability for Everyone> This is a data management system that achieves a simple interface and easy usability, allowing anyone to use it effortlessly. Typical PDM systems tend to depend on CAD systems due to the need to manage proprietary information from those systems, but DataServer is a casual and straightforward design document management tool that ensures independence from CAD systems. It employs a folder-based file management method, allowing for centralized management of design models (3D models and drawings), design documents, PDFs, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text files, and more, all created on the client side, as a master on the web server.

• 

  <Function to Support Sharing Design Data and Team Design> By sharing and centrally managing data related to design work, we can eliminate dependency on individuals and facilitate smooth collaboration across departments. Additionally, by using the packaging function, we can manage related models and design-related documents all together. [Team Design Support Function] ● Sharing and managing 3D models/drawings/design data on a web server ● Exclusive control through check-in/check-out ● Packaging function

• 

  <Security Features: Detailed Control of Operational Permissions> Administrators can finely configure access rights for roles and users defined by them, control operational permissions for designated data, and also collect logs. Data communication between the server and client is conducted using advanced encrypted communication via SSL (HTTPS). [Security Configuration Features] ● Setting and changing passwords ● Registering and changing users and roles ● Setting and changing access rights

• 

  <File Management Function Corresponding to the Design Stage> In the early stages of design, where updates are frequent, it enables data history management by generating backup files without creating revisions. During the normal tasks performed by designers without administrative privileges, backup files are automatically obtained and can be restored to any state. At the end of the project or when formal updates are made, revisions can be added and stored for the entire project files or only for any updated files. [File Management Function] ● Backup file acquisition and restoration function ● Revision management function

• 

  <High-Speed Various Search Functions> Not only can you search for design data based on default attributes, but also user-defined attributes, feature names of 3D models, and parent-child relationships within assembly models. In addition to file names, link information, and attribute information, it is also possible to include text information such as annotations and drawing notes within MICRO CADAM drawings in the search. You can search for information in the title block/parts list of the drawing, as well as notes written outside the drawing frame by the designer, allowing for more efficient and speedy searches of existing data filled with past design and manufacturing know-how. Furthermore, since you can use any string mentioned in PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and text files as search keywords, you can also utilize DataServer for searching technical documents related to drawings and for searching drawings that have been converted to PDF. The search data is automatically created/updated at the time of registering (checking in) drawings to DataServer, so there is no operational burden on designers or administrators, and you can search in the latest state at any time.

• 

  <Automated Stamping Approval Workflow> Not only does it facilitate the approval workflow, but it also enables paperless electronic approval by directly stamping inspection and approval seals on MC drawings according to each flow. The stamping position, size, and the names of departments and responsible persons can be customized for each customer.

• 

  <MC Drawing Title Field and Parts Field Automatic Linkage> The note information (part number/item name, etc.) entered in the title field/parts field of the drawing will be automatically imported into the DataServer, enabling efficient search using list display and part number/item name. The note information to be imported can be configured to match the customer's existing drawing frame.

• 

  <In-progress Drawing Check (Viewer Integration)> By clicking on the thumbnail displayed on the DataServer, you can reference the drawings using the viewer software (HD XViewer). This allows for dimension verification during the review process and enables sharing the latest in-progress MC drawings on the DataServer with individuals outside the design department without the need for introducing the MC main unit.
