Virtual model of a racing yacht as an example of product lifecycle management in ENOVIA
ENOVIA

One version of the product. One place for all decisions.

ENOVIA connects product data, changes, tasks, and teams in one secure environment of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Everyone works with up-to-date information, from the first request to production and service.

SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH

The product evolves as a whole. Its data should too.

ENOVIA connects product data, documentation, bills of materials, changes, tasks, and decisions in one controlled environment of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Engineering, manufacturing, quality, purchasing, and management all work with the same up-to-date information and see it in the context of the entire product.

  • one valid version of product data for all teams,
  • traceable history of changes, approvals, and decisions,
  • secure collaboration from the first request to production and service.
ENOVIA PLM for managing product data, changes, and team collaboration
Data with context, not just files Every model, drawing, document, or bill of materials has a clear status, version, owner, history, and link to the product and change process.
WHEN DATA ARE NOT CONNECTED

Each department works efficiently. Yet the company as a whole loses time and control.

The biggest problems often arise not in the design itself, but when searching for the correct version, passing information, and managing the impact of changes.

01

It is unclear which version is current

Files are on disks, in emails, or in several systems. People make decisions based on different materials.

02

Changes do not have a clear process

It is not visible who proposed the change, who approved it, and which parts, documents, or teams it affects.

03

Teams work separately

Engineering, manufacturing, quality, and purchasing do not have a common view of the product, deadlines, or related decisions.

04

Know-how remains with people and emails

The history of decisions is difficult to trace, reuse, and safely pass on to other colleagues.

PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

From request to product release for production

ENOVIA creates a common context for data, processes, and responsibilities across the entire product development.

Product data and documentation

CAD models, drawings, technical documents, their statuses, revisions, ownership, and history in one place.

PDM documentation version

Bill of materials and configurations

Management of product structures, variants, eBOM, and links between requirements, design, and manufacturing definition.

eBOM variants configurations

Requirements

Customer requirements, regulations, and technical criteria linked to specific parts of the product and their verification.

traceability requirements

Change management

Controlled change proposals, impact assessments, responsibilities, approvals, implementations, and complete history of decisions.

changes approvals

Projects and tasks

Shared priorities, deadlines, work status, and responsibilities directly linked to product data and decisions.

projects tasks

Quality and compliance

Standardized processes, traceability, controlled documentation, and better control over meeting requirements and standards.

It is not just about storing documents. ENOVIA creates a controlled digital flow of information where data is available in the right context and to the right people.

Shared product definition Requirements, design data, and manufacturing information remain interconnected.
Decision-making based on current data Teams see the status of the product, changes, and responsibilities without manual searching.
CHANGES UNDER CONTROL

A change is not just a new file. It impacts the entire product.

Modifying one part can affect the bill of materials, documentation, purchasing, manufacturing, quality, and project timelines. ENOVIA keeps the change linked to the specific product and guides it through a defined process.

  • capturing the request and reason for the change,
  • assessing impacts on data, timelines, and responsibilities,
  • controlled approval, implementation, and release,
  • traceable history of every decision.

MORE THAN A STANDALONE PLM SYSTEM

ENOVIA as the data backbone of the digital enterprise

TECHNODAT helps connect ENOVIA with design, manufacturing, and enterprise systems. Product data do not end up in separate applications but continue throughout the entire lifecycle.

  • CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, and other design tools,
  • DELMIA and digital manufacturing processes,
  • SAP, ERP, and related enterprise systems,
  • Engineering Base, electrical data, and custom applications.

BENEFITS OF MANAGED PRODUCT DATA

What can a company gain by implementing ENOVIA

The specific outcome depends on the starting state and scope of deployment. Typically, however, ENOVIA brings better control, traceability, and collaboration.

Fewer duplicate data

Teams do not have to create and maintain several uncontrolled copies of the same model, drawing, or document.

Faster change approvals

The process has clear steps, owners, and status. There is no need to search for decisions in emails and spreadsheets.

Clear responsibilities

It is clear who has the next step, what has already been approved, and where the process currently stands.

Traceable history

The context of changes, versions, approvals, and decisions remains usable for years.

Better collaboration between development and production

Manufacturing teams work with approved materials and see changes in the context of specific product configurations.

Reuse of know-how

Existing parts, documentation, and proven solutions can be found, assessed, and reused more quickly.
