Engineering Data and Product Lifecycle Management System emerges as the centerpoint of the KOMPAS family of solutions, a kind of its "Brain Center". It provides:

• Storage and management of product technical documentation; 
• Management of product data structure and product line configurations and components usage in assemblies;
• Product design process management.

The system's purpose is to accumulate technological and organizational information, make it available for engineering services according to certain company policies and provide knowledge sharing across departments and individual experts.

ASCON's original solution for Product Data Management:LOODSMAN:PLM keeps all the information necessary for designing, producing and maintaining the output products by an industrial enterprise. At pre-production stages, the system collects data produced by design and technology units and provides exchange of information between engineering departments. Approved data and documentation are routed to other corporate departments for supply chain management, manufacturing and maintenance of the output products.
