What are the problems? What is at stake?

For industrialists who design customised configure-to-order products, the Product Data Management (PDM) represents 20% to 30% of the needs for new item creation in order to satisfy customers' expectations. The generation of forms, instruction notes and other specific documents associated with an order is essential: it should be handled so as to manufacture each product without any significant extra costs compared to a standard product. Good traceability is essential as well as good management of configurations for customer service and MRO.

Companies which manufacture make-to-order products from customised or configured standard products need for instance to:

  • Answer rapidly to customisation demands on small runs in multiple mini-project mode
  • Simplify the realisation of quotes and of customer documentation (paper or on-line catalog)

What are the solutions provided by @UDROS?

@UDROS is a PLM software which enables you to reduce product development lead times and costs due to immediate diffusion of the right information to the different departments. The data is entered only once in @UDROS and updates automatically, notably in your Word™, Excel™ or PDF documents.

Documents (drawings, routes, instruction notes, quotes etc.) are thus always up-to-date, comprehensive and customised. It facilitates and speeds up sales because the product is delivered on time with updated documentation and also complies with the customer's specification!

In contrast to the use of specific applications, of ERP features often badly adapted, or of PLM solutions rather corporate customer-oriented which are hardly customisable and expensive to deploy, @UDROS ensures:

  • A unique data repository
  • The transmission of the right information to the right person
  • The rapid integration of changes
  • The automation of the documentary chain

@UDROS also provides simple and powerful tools for BOM creation (As Design, As Build, As Maintain...) and can communicate with most of the CADs and ERPs available on the market. Thus, you reduce costs of data re-input and the resources required for your product customisation!

 

  User Testimonial:

« In 6 months, we managed to implement a PDM ensuring data uniqueness and reusing all specific developement Rollix made. Without any in-depth knowledge in programming, I handled in a few weeks the simplified @UPL language. Customisation possibilities and communication capabilities with the ERP and the CAD are for me the essential advantages of @UDROS! »
