PDXpert PLM software features: Parts
Part definitions are the heart of any PLM system.
PDXpert PLM lets you create a virtually unlimited number of
part categories, custom part numbering formats, and
- in addition to the extensive set
of standard properties - your own custom attributes.
While many PLM systems create an artificial barrier
between items that your organization manages and those of
other organizations, PDXpert PLM unifies these into a single
interface that lets you use any item in your database
as a reference to any other item.
- Create a virtually unlimited variety of part categories, each with their
own configured and custom properties
- Define item numbers up to 70 alphanumeric characters with prefix,
sequentially-assigned, suffix and skip characters
- Specify text templates that guide users how to
describe parts using your preferred part name format
- Manually or automatically assign data record revisions, using
separate preproduction and production revision sequences
- Manage inventory commitment using lifecycle phases
- Identify and assign tasks necessary to prepare the item
for release
- Research the assemblies where a component is used, as well as change
forms where
a part record was released, canceled or otherwise affected
- Attach any number of files to a part; check-out/-in
files for modifications without conflicts
- Define part materials and report the results for RoHS/WEEE
- Create custom attributes
- Identify supply chain partners and their part numbers, with supporting
electronic datasheets and drawings
