Working with DMStec
A document management system with different views
Design departments put together their view of native drawings, CAD models or wiring plans of a component.
- CAD models
- PCB layouts
- Exploded views
- Assembly / production reports
Project managers need a bird’s eye view from a project perspective.
- Project plans
- Meeting minutes
- Resource plans
- Calculations
- Customer / supplier correspondence
Sales teams need to be able to access contracts, orders, correspondence, customer complaints and technical documents such as a photo of a piece of machinery or a 3D model and see how these documents relate to the product structure they have sold. These requirements define their own specific view. Purchasing agents on the other hand structure their information by supplier and link it to the corresponding order/product or plant.
- Offers and contracts
- Correspondence
- Complaints
- References
- Orders
- Purchase orders
The Quality Control department is the central location where product testing, adherence to material specifications, defect analyzation and insuring that the product meets the overall quality standards occur.
- Test Reports
- Specifications
- Raw Material reports
- Defect and deviation reports
Field technicians need to be provided with a digital representation, also known as the digital information twin, of the machinery they are working on. For example, if they are performing maintenance work and are tasked with repairing or replacing a pump, they need to be able to access any documents connected to that pump. With DMStec they can choose to implement a mobile app that allows them to do just that with the click of a button.
- Quality certificates
- Mounting instructions
- Commissioning instructions
- Specifications
- Documentation
- Delivery notes and installation instructions
- Maintenance contracts
- Warranty certificates

Document management (DMS software) in complex technical structures
What our customers have to say
The construction of a new power station unit prompted its operator, grid company Netzgesellschaft Dusseldorf, to look for a solution that would digitally store all documents related to the plant and establish a technical document management system. PROCAD’s technical document management system (DMStec) PRO.FILE uses item classes and metadata to mirror the entire plant by attaching documents to the ID codes of every single part. This creates a structure that is independent of the individual documents.
