eCADinfo Engineering Data Management System Features

Engineering Data Types

Supports a wide variety of engineering data types including version-controlled files, non-version controlled files, data bases, folders and web links. 

Configurable Organization of Data

Organize data in a user configurable hierarchy that is most meaningful to you and meets your existing business processes.

Database Management

Create fully configurable databases to store instrument, equipment or system specifications. Create Preferred Lists of standard parts for reduced data entry and standardization. 

File Vault

Engineering drawings and other files are stored in the system's secure File Vault with Version Control, Configurable Version Numbering and Check In/Check Out features. Assign automatic version label templates based on folders/drawing types. Archive all previous versions of drawings and prevent modifications to the same file by more than one user. 

Change Management

Relationships: Visualize object relationships to predict the impact of engineering changes. Relate engineering drawings, procedures and equipment/instrument specifications to visualize the impact of change in one object to all other objects. 

Maintenance/Change Logs: Create any number of maintenance/change logs. Create one change log for files and another for specification data.

Standardization - The Basis For Quality

Create standardized engineering templates. Comprised of a hierarchical collection of databases, files and web links, templates can represent equipment/system types such as an autoclave. Templates allow ease of data entry, user training, data access and change management. 

Collaboration

Securely share the engineering database repository between various engineering groups and external suppliers within a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant data architecture.

Discussion Groups: Create threaded discussion groups organized by topic.

Notes: Attach comments to engineering data objects using free text notes. Pass on instructions and relevant information between shifts and operating personnel.

Search

Keyword Search: Search Database Records, Maintenance/Change Logs, Notes and Discussions using keywords.

Query Builder: Run ad hoc queries on database objects and audit trail/e-signature logs using arithmetical and logical operators. Filter information based on Action, Object, User Name and Date Interval. 

Full Text Search: Perform a full text search of all files in the File Vault.

Application Interfaces

Import/Export data from popular applications such as Microsoft Excel. Integrate with existing systems such as Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), ERP, MES, and LIMS.
