Cloud-based PDM (Product Data Management) service Quadcept Force
Quadcept Co., Ltd.

Quadcept Force

Upload BOM to cloud. *It is also possible to upload the BOM in Excel format instead of directly in CAD.

Information necessary for parts selection (usage rules, parts attributes, inventory and prices, EOL, environmental information) is aggregated, allowing you to select parts without hesitation or mistakes. In addition, you can quickly search for parts using the advanced search function of an online trading company.

You can obtain the latest parts information (attribute values) and distribution information (inventory information/lifecycle) from online trading companies.

By establishing an approval flow, we maintain a parts database and centrally manage in-house approved parts. It helps improve design quality by efficiently managing high-quality parts data, preventing duplicate registration of parts, and sharing design information.

Classify parts into categories and normalize attribute items. Attribute values ​​can be entered in a variety of ways, reducing the designer's burden and mistakes. Preventing "variations in the notation of attribute items" and "omitting required attribute values" for each designer

Reverse search for products (BOM) in which EOL parts/specific parts are used. This allows for appropriate responses when problems arise or changes are required. Enhance risk management and enable efficient troubleshooting.

By linking with in-house systems, it is possible to reduce the hassle of double entry and to always maintain the latest information between multiple systems. Designers no longer have to worry about checking multiple systems and can concentrate on their design.

Compare the old and new bill of materials and visually display changes. Since you can check at a glance the parts that have been changed and the items that have been added or deleted, you can quickly understand the scope of the impact and take necessary measures.

Since it is managed on the cloud, you can access the latest information from anywhere as long as you are connected to the internet. You can prevent misunderstandings based on outdated information and improve work accuracy and efficiency.

Parts review and approval function. Parts that pass inspection from various perspectives such as design rules, quality assurance, and procurement are registered in the database. Prevents double registration of parts. Designers always select the most suitable parts from the latest approved parts to ensure stable product quality.

To prevent spelling errors, multiple names can be replaced with one. If you are using a different name, the manufacturer name you want to prioritize when registering with Force will be applied. Prevents the manufacturer name from changing and maintains the quality of the database.

By consolidating communication, we promote communication with business partners. Strengthen information security through member management and authority management.

Through API/CSV linkage, data between other systems and Quadcept Force can be automatically reflected between both systems.

You can check the list of parts that have been designated as replacement parts within the company and replace them, taking into account internal inventory/acquisition prices, environmental information (RoHS), etc. By linking substitute parts to parts, the time for selecting parts can be significantly reduced.

It is possible to manage the destination of parts according to the shipping destination and application of the product.

By understanding the progress status of the entire project at a glance, and optimizing the allocation of resources and adjusting schedules, you can prevent delays and achieve efficient operations.

Ensure consistent knowledge sharing and quality by centralizing chat, data, and file management.

Centrally manage materials related to parts. Along with model numbers and library shapes, data sheets, environmental information, production discontinuation notices, implementation specifications, etc. can be stored.

Exclusive control to prevent multiple users from editing the bill of materials at the same time. Maintain data consistency and prevent data conflicts and inconsistencies due to simultaneous editing of BOMs.

Multiple projects managed simultaneously can be checked at once. Information you need right now, such as tasks and recent notifications, is aggregated. We help you confirm the priorities and delivery dates of each project, make it easier to see the overall outlook, and help you adjust schedules.

You can manage each member's tasks in detail and understand their progress in real time. You can keep a history of interactions with the person in charge and shared files for each task, creating an efficient work environment.

Information that is managed in other systems, such as "purchasing price," "inventory information," and "EOL information" managed by the purchasing department, and "RoHS" managed by the quality department, will be consolidated into Quadcept Force and can be viewed.

Valuable design know-how that designers have cultivated on a daily basis, such as defect information and usage rules, can be recorded and shared. Frequently used parts can be registered as favorites. You can quickly and accurately select parts and contribute to high-quality product development.

By consolidating communication tools into Quadcept Force, real-time exchange and central management of data and files are possible, achieving efficient and accurate information sharing.

EOL or unapproved part icons appear for parts on drawings in electronic CAD. The target of replacement becomes clear, and mistakes such as omission of replacement support can be prevented.

To ensure that prohibited parts are not used, you can verify errors using the FRC (Force Rule Check) rule check. This eliminates human error, guarantees quality, and prevents rework.

You can quickly find EOL (discontinued products) and replacement parts on design drawings. When replacing substitute parts, it is possible to compare and select suitable substitute candidates while keeping track of in-house inventory/procurement prices.

Can centrally manage multiple BOMs (bills of materials). We will eliminate the "decentralization and individualization of information" that is an issue in many manufacturing industries. This reduces information sharing errors and mistakes, and greatly reduces the time it takes to search for drawings.

Quadcept Force manages the change history of the bill of materials in detail. You can see exactly who made what changes, when they were made, and easily check past parts lists.

Officially compatible with API collaboration with PLM solution "Obbligato*". Designers can get information quickly. Data is automatically reflected between both parties through the API.
