With the SAP CAD interfaces, you can seamlessly integrate your CAD data into SAP PLM. The integrations connect popular authoring systems with SAP.
Challenge: Reducing interfaces
Nikolas Ciarella, Head of Business Process Management/IT at technotrans solutions GmbH, explained: “Our parent company technotrans SE has been using SAP for years. The challenge was to integrate ECTR into an existing SAP system landscape that had been developed over time. The project’s initial aim was to quickly replace the existing PDM and CAD systems, at minimal effort, with a state-of-the-art alternative.
Integration of the existing Autodesk Inventor and EPLAN data into the PDM system was also required. The plan to use the technotrans Group's existing SAP system meant, however, that the project required a different approach to normal. Daniel Matußek, design engineer and project manager for the implementation project at technotrans solutions GmbH, added: “ECTR implementation was considered a good option because it would help to efficiently harmonize data systems across the entire group of companies,” e.g., by significantly reducing the number of digital interfaces. “That alone would already bring about greater efficiency.”
Cideon service: Agile, cost-effective and high-performance
Customizing the SAP system, installation as well as ECTR configuration on project computers was carried out by Cideon. Cideon process consultants also provided support for all relevant design data migration as well as Cideon PDM Import Tool configuration. Initial data loading, data imports and user training were then successfully implemented by technotrans solutions GmbH. Add-ons for specific customer requirements also needed to be implemented quickly as part of the system changeover.
