ACE vs. Enovia

It’s a great way to process transactions depending on the logic of your applications. Real-time tracking for logs can be monitored via the backend; however, we cannot pinpoint which transactional logs it is. We usually ask the DB admin to provide the ACE entry and exit logs for this. I would love to have that functionality readily available at any given time, without relying on the other team.

Very well suited for direct integration with CAD packages (Solidworks/ Auto desk Inventor or AutoCAD) and version control of CAD Model/Assemblies and Drawing files) and creating parts and document objects directly into Enovia and controlling their lifecycle from CAD Interface. Similarly, Enovia's Engineering central is already equipped with Industry standard ECR/ECO process which needs little customization for implementing Engineering Change management process. The hardest part in Enovia is controlling the disposition of released material for the downstream process in other ERP systems. For example, if a released material has gone for production or purchasing in ERP system/MRP system then dispositioning that material with Major revision (which may need manufacturing to stop the production due to faulty design) have no direct control to stop the downstream activities. Most cases its manual process to communicate with ERP team to for taking action. Similarly, revision of Documents (material Spec for example) linked to thousands of parts required special process (some time needs to schedule in the weekend).

• Detailed transactions.
• Only DB transactional logs.
• Setup and configuration.

• When a part/assembly has been released in Enovia and gone for production or downstream processing, Enovia doesn't have much control, hence, Enovia should come up with an easy controlling mechanism for various disposition of parts and seamless communication with an ERP or downstream process.
• If a document is linked to thousands of materials then revising this document takes long time gets floated to the BOMs where the previous document versions are used. So, Enovia should have an efficient way to replace the floating process or another efficient mechanism for document revision processing.

It is a very great tool, user-friendly even. You just need to get your head in and immerse yourself in the tool so you can manage and tweak its configuration to suit your liking and performance. The support team is an A-plus since they are available most of the time.

Dassaults progress on their cloud-based solution seemed to be furthest along in development

Incentivized

• Fast deployment.
• Easily manageable dashboard.
• Straightforward UI.

• Easy learning curve for the users- Very user-friendly Interface for Engineering central make the users happy and easy to learn the BOM creation and Engineering change management process.
• Time-saving - Seamless Creation and revision process of objects saves a huge amount of time compared to other systems.
• Easy to copy existing business data and modify them as required.
