Requirements for a PIM system: Mechanical and electrical engineering

The diversity of products, variants and target groups is particularly high in mechanical and electrical engineering. A PIM system creates the basis for managing technical information in a structured manner and making it available in a targeted manner - from the designer to the specialist dealer.

An effective PIM system is crucial in the mechanical and electrical engineering sector in order to efficiently manage complex and varied products. The requirements range from classification according to standards such as ECLASS or ETIM to the management of article variants and type codes through to the integration of CAD data and product configurators. Technical correlations such as accessories, spare parts or application contexts can also be systematically mapped. crossbase has extensive experience in this area - industry-specific requirements such as the automatic generation of language-neutral dimensional drawings or output in formats such as BMEcat, nexMart or FAB-DIS flow directly into the solution. The result is a continuous flow of information from engineering to sales - tailored to the needs of designers, planners, specialist dealers and end users.
