Enovia On-cloud

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are primarily using the Enovia applications for BOM management, Issues, Tasks, and Change Management. Together with Catia 3DExperience, they have proven to be a powerful tool.

While the cloud based apps are not 100% up to the level of the on-prem versions, they are being continually updated and offer the bulk of the core functionality.

There are inherent benefits to using a relational database, as opposed to separate MS documents.

Pros

  • Issue tracking
  • Approval flow (Routes)
  • Change Management

Cons

  • Cloud apps are still being developed
  • Some functionality is limited on cloud
  • Roles are discrete, need for multiple licenses to complete a task is not uncommon

Return on Investment

  • It reduces redundant work by allowing better collaboration

Alternatives Considered

Aras PLM and Teamcenter

Other Software Used

Selecting Enovia over other PLMs

Pros

  • Every revision of a part or document is a separate object, hence unlike SAP status control of an object is easy. The lifecycle of each object can be controlled by its own policy.
  • It is easy to create new types of objects rather than pre-defined object types and control them by their own customized policy.
  • Efficient Security and access control model for design and supporting documents file checkout and check-in and easy reporting mechanisms for tracking business activity, like how many parts being created/revised/obsoleted and who has checked out how many times etc.
  • Generation of custom reports

Cons

  • When a part/assembly has been released in Enovia and gone for production or downstream processing, Enovia doesn't have much control, hence, Enovia should come up with an easy controlling mechanism for various disposition of parts and seamless communication with an ERP or downstream process.
  • If a document is linked to thousands of materials then revising this document takes long time gets floated to the BOMs where the previous document versions are used. So, Enovia should have an efficient way to replace the floating process or another efficient mechanism for document revision processing.

Return on Investment

  • Easy learning curve for the users- Very user-friendly Interface for Engineering central make the users happy and easy to learn the BOM creation and Engineering change management process.
  • Time-saving - Seamless Creation and revision process of objects saves a huge amount of time compared to other systems.
  • Easy to copy existing business data and modify them as required.
