Wächter Packautomatik GmbH & Co. KG

„We are happy that we were able to seamlessly interface our ERP system with HELiOS. The data is automatically synchronized. This saves time and reduces errors caused by different versions that would otherwise still be in circulation, and prevents data loss due to incorrect forwarding between departments.“

Robert Förster, CAD-responsible Project Manager

Ingenieurbüro Dipl. Ing. Gronow

„lthough we are not a large company using HELiOS's workflows, since only one designer works on the current project at a time, we are able to use the HELiOS system for all our projects. However, we are dependent on a secure document management system using systematic folders and subfolders that update automatically.“

Holger Gronow, General Manager

SIVAplan GmbH

„As a customer we benefit from the possibilities that only a manufacturer can offer: Further developments and implementations on customer request. This has enabled us to optimise our processes even further and the ISD uses the know-how from the daily use of the solution for its further enhancement of the PDM software HELiOS.“

Daniel Althaus, Mechanical Design

Bernard van Lengerich Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG

„CAD-generated drawings must also be managed. So HELiOS was added in the course of the HiCAD introduction. Our decision was supported by the fact that both programs come from one developer and are perfectly coordinated. The fact that the ISD is a German developer also favoured our choice.“

Thomas Vietz, System Administrator

MBS Hydraulik GmbH & Co. KG

„Time that is saved by using HELiOS is immediately used for other activities - for essential design processes. Especially when entering master data, a lot of time is saved, as this data is now directly attached to the article and does not have to be re-entered when it is reused.“

Kai Ellerbrock, Programmer

Wächter Packautomatik GmbH & Co. KG

„By using the PDM software HELiOS, the search effort for parts, assemblies or documents could be greatly reduced. The daily management of documents has become much clearer, easier and more structured.“

Robert Förster, Chief Designer

Introduction of the new PDM system

developed for integration

Product development is characterized by a high degree of division of labour and simultaneity. The starting point for greater process efficiency is therefore the avoidance of manual processes that are associated with quality losses. The first step is the introduction of a PDM system. At this point we can offer our customers several options for introducing HELiOS in their company. We can provide them with the right product variant for every requirement. No matter whether it is an out-of-the-box solution for the entry of smaller companies into the PDM world or a mature concept for an optimal company-wide PLM solution.

HELiOS "Out of-the-box"

HELiOS "Out of-the-box" is based on our delivery standard. This has proven itself over decades of project experience as a proven scope for the introduction of CAD data management. The introduction takes place within one week and is suitable for companies with up to five design workstations without a connection to systems other than the CAD system. In this short period of time, only limited adjustments can be made specifically for your company, so that in the first step you work with the standard configuration delivered by us. On the other hand, this type of implementation is very cost-effective, especially for smaller companies.

Individual solutions

Our recommendation to be able to generate the optimal benefit from our software in your system and process landscape is the project-based introduction of HELiOS PDM. A PDM system changes your processes, but it must also adapt to the prevailing evolved processes in your company. Our experienced consultants and programmers conduct workshops with you, conceptualize the optimal use of the software in your company, implement the appropriate configurations, train you and support you in both the test and productive phases before we hand you over to the competent hands of our hotline and support department on a long-term basis.
