Manufacturing

During the lifecycle of a product a massive amount of information is created, reviewed, changed, and distributed. Technical prototype information and marketing data are transformed into intellectual property for design and engineering. These assets become detailed product and assembly plans stored as drawings or in CAD databases, which are eventually utilized in production processes on the factory floor. Additionally, vast amounts of data are required to support sales, distribution, operation, training, maintenance, and services. All the processes in this lifecycle affect the bottom line.
