Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: GRB), the world leader in automated CAD/CAM
and PLM solutions for the sewn products and flexible materials
industry, announced today the release of webPDM 6.0, the flagship
module of their Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software suite
for the organization of data, images, processes and procedures.
 Gerber
Technology's webPDM 6.0 functions as a globally-accessible, browser- based
solution enabling development professionals to organize information, create
tech packs and effectively communicate with employees, customers, vendors
and suppliers. webPDM 6.0s browser-based environment enhances the end user
experience allowing rapid global creation, collaboration and production
execution for apparel, furniture, accessories and other consumer products.
Advanced product development functionality within webPDM is incorporated to
meet complex business demands allowing every size company to utilize options
that fit their needs.
With webPDM 6.0, weve added highly desirable features such as linked
pages and folders that allow for one time entry of specification information
spread throughout multiple styles, says Elizabeth King, Director of software
applications for Gerber Technology. Global participants can easily and
effectively organize and create content, while taking advantage of enhanced
functionality such as the BOM staging area promoting implementation and
collaboration on the most important product components. The software
integrates seamlessly with the other PLM modules including AccuMark, webView
and webFolio permitting more time spent adding value and less on
administration.
Companies of every size will appreciate the value provided by this
feature-rich PLM application for global collaboration. We are very pleased
with the enhancements we have been able to deliver to product managers,
sourcing professionals, designers, merchandisers, vendors and executives
with this latest version of webPDM, King notes. This release represents the
culmination of invaluable user feedback and bright ideas. From improved
product views to rapidly enabling user proficiency, webPDM 6.0 is certain to
set the new standard meeting size, supply chain and product lifecycle
demands and we are excited to announce its launch to market.
