Manufacturers that extend technical product data sharing and collaboration beyond specialized engineering applications to the rest of the organization, suppliers and customers reduce cycle times, scrap, rework and other hidden manufacturing costs while improving quality, supplier performance and customer satisfaction. But it’s important to avoid costly collaboration friction that results from common gaps in technical content collaboration:

72% of manufacturers feel ineffective in how they share and collaborate on technical data resulting in product delivery delays, unforeseen manufacturing costs, poor supplier performance, and inefficient service and support.

50% of engineering time is spent supporting the “human-powered digital thread” by manually finding, packaging / repackaging, and sharing data with everyone who needs it. That number goes up to 68% if you factor in the amount of time spent answering (repeat) questions.

At Anark, our content collaboration platform for manufacturers eliminates collaboration friction and hidden costs with product data, insights, and collaboration that meet people where they work. As a result, product data becomes accessible, actionable, and synchronized with version-controlled CAD, PDM and PLM “sources of truth” -- no matter where your experts hide it. Finding, packaging, and sharing technical data is automated so everyone can focus on the work that matters most. Cross-functional teams (securely!) access, mark up, and discuss 3D CAD, 2D drawings, BOMs, and other product data in fully traced discussions. Pictures and videos capture real-world feedback and expert insights in the context of collaborative discussions. And IT admins enjoy the most advanced security and platform extensibility features in the market.

When everyone can communicate and collaborate without compromise, better, faster decisions are made, and everyone innovates faster
