From an idea to a finished product - with full control

Advantum Facility Information includes both the Advantum platform and a pre-configuration that is intended to function as an information management system. The content of this industry solution has been developed based on the experience we have gained when implementing this type of solution in businesses, combined with our extensive experience in the CAD (Computer-Aided Design) area, where we also have an integration with AutoCAD.

Use of this industry solution makes it easy and efficient to manage the complex relationship between product information and other general information such as project and quality information. Thanks to the built-in viewer, a user that does not have a drawing application installed on its computer can look at drawings.
Advantum Product Development and its extensive pre-configuration is based on well-established methods which makes it easy to structure associated information into product groups, products and articles which in turn makes it easy to work with, but at the same time maintains quality.

If there is a need to manage files for SolidWorks, then this can be supplemented in your customer specific configuration where the starting point is our standard management for this. To make it easy to work with the structures there is of course an integration with SolidWorks.

It's possible to combine this industry solution with other pre-configurations if there is a need to handle other types of information than what is included in this industry solution. Thanks to Advantum being so flexible and configurable, it opens up the possibility to quickly and easily make any changes that are needed while still staying within the framework of a standard product.

Document management in product development is about collecting, structuring and controlling all product-related information – from drawings and documents to CAD files and product data. A system like Advantum makes it possible to store everything in one place, ensure version control and give the right people access to the right information at the right time.
