Data Sharing with Vendors in Manufacturing Industry

For any company the internal data is always confidential and cannot be shared or accessed to the external users.Data sharing with external vendors is always risky. It should always be shared with some restrictions as it can be damaged or hacked.

 

Hence, a technology is required to makes data sharing easy with layers of security and access controls which protect your data all the time.

CogDAM is the solution to all the worries.A separate login is provided to external vendors to access the data. The admin can control what is visible to the vendors and put required restrictions. The workflow is encrypted by AD (Authorized Directory) which further classifies the user as external vendor and automatically provides restricted access. For example: the vendor can only read the document and can’t take action on it till authorized by the Admin. A detailed analysis report of what is being shared can be monitored along with version control to keep a track of the changes performed on the files.

Data sharing in such a way is provided to eliminate physical logistic between users of the organization and the external vendor and carry out the transactions on fast mode more effectively.

Today as the whole world has turned digital, it is the need of an hour for the Manufacturing industries to join hands with it. Most of the manufacturing industries run on the manual mode and still uses the old methodology for the designing, sharing and sample testing.

  • Share Large files:

The blueprint of the models to be manufactured are still created manually and send through mails, which results in the error of the blueprints. The size and shape of the equipment changes and results in fault manufacturing causing heavy loss in terms of time and money.

CogDAM is the platform that provides solution to all the worries and eliminates the error.

CogDAM helps to share the large file in terms of images , videos or documents keeping the content intact . A separate login is provided to external vendors to access the data.

  3. The 3D video of the model can also be stored and shared which helps the employees to learn more about it.
  4. Today, the testing of the product is conducted through the 3D engineering model.  The video of the test conducted can also be shared with the client instead of visiting their place.
  5. The test reports can be shared effectively to speed up the process and start the production.

CogDam makes the communication smoother among the organisation and the client the speed up the work without any interruption.
