Case Study: Daimler AG achieves knowledge-based design and centralized parts management with CADENAS PARTsolutions

CADENAS Supports Stuttgart Manufacturer for Premium Cars with PARTsolutions Strategic Parts Management

Daimler AG, the premium automaker and commercial vehicle manufacturer, wanted to strengthen knowledge-based design and make its internal design guidelines easier for engineers and suppliers to access. To do this, it worked with CADENAS PARTsolutions and its Strategic Parts Management (SPM) software to centralize and connect component and guideline information for die-casting tools.

CADENAS PARTsolutions implemented PARTsolutions so Daimler AG could store official design guidelines in one central place, publish them automatically, and link them directly to engineering data, 3D models, and 2D/3D drawings. The solution also connected the supplier portal PARTcommunity Enterprise to PDM and ERP data, giving external partners controlled access to current parts information while Daimler maintained access control; the result was better reuse of approved standards and a more efficient, up-to-date design process.
