Integrate your product data into a single version of the truth

CIDEON – efficient engineering.

CIDEON exclusively develops the SAP Engineering Control Center interface

to Solid Edge based on the new SAP technology as one of the 5 worldwide

SAP CAD integration development partners.

The availability of highly efficient integrations of CAD is a critical feature of PLM systems.

With the integration between SAP Engineering Control Center and Solid Edge, assemblies, parts and drawings, includ-

ing their dependent documents, are seemlessly managed as structures in SAP PLM. All authorized users have access

to the originals stored in a central, secure area (single version of the truth) to monitor the development process or make

changes. This eliminates redundant process steps.

There is no need for a separate Product Data Management (PDM) solution since the functionality of the SAP system fills

this gap. Solid Edge users work in their usual environment and directly load related original files via the integrated ribbon

menu for processing or display. Bidirectional metadata exchange between Solid Edge and SAP avoids unnecessary

manual data entry. A crucial benefit is the simple assignment of SAP Material Masters to Solid Edge assembly structures

as well as the automatic derivation of multi-level SAP Bills of Materials. This guarantees consistent data structures and

engineers gain more time for the real design process.

As product diversity and complexity grows manufacturers are producing indi-vidual products that combine hardware, mechanical design, electronics, simula-tion, and software using data stored in multiple authoring tools along the value chain.

With the SAP Engineering Control Center integration tool, design and engineering teams can combine these

diverse data sources into one holistic overview of product data to do their jobs with highest efficiency.

This intelligent process helps support companies deliver innovative products and services to market faster.

Making life easier for engineers

The easy-to-use navigation with the Windows® Explorer®- like handling of data in flexible, user-specific folder struc-tures, enables a comprehensive overview of required SAP information such as Documents, Material Masters, Bills of Materials, and many other SAP objects. Engineers are supported with drag-and-drop functionality as well as context sensitive pull-down menus and colored symbols, that offer intuitive and meaningful representation of information.

Simplified product development processes

SAP Engineering Control Center is the designer’s cockpit for SAP PLM that promotes daily work through automation routines and checks as well as intelligent menu structures and onboard user help. Engineers access standard and customer specific transactions as easily as they can save and retrieve Solid Edge data and relations.

Support collaborative product networks

CAD files can be converted to lightweight visualization data, that can be moved and read without native CAD software. The integrated SAP 3D Visual Enterprise viewer is a high performance solution that enables comprehen-sive visual communications across all lines of business, from design and manufacturing to sales and service. This increases business speed, higher productivity, and quality.
