Integrate MasterControl and SolidWorks PDM

If you are one of the businesses immersed in engineering and design, SPK’s solution ‘MasterManager’ connects SolidWorks PDM and MasterControl’s QMS. This integration automates data transfer and enhances accessibility and accuracy of engineering documents, creating a seamless business system.

Our MasterManager Customer Success Story

Here’s a quick overview of the success one of our medical device customers achieved using the MasterManager solution. You can also read the full case study here.

  • Challenges in Medical Device Manufacturing: The client, operating in a highly regulated industry, faced challenges in maintaining engineering productivity and quality. With MasterControl’s QMS already in place, and SolidWorks PDM managing CAD design data, the need arose to bridge the gap between the two systems.
  • The MasterManager Solution: Recognizing this gap, SPK, with its deep expertise in API programming and a longstanding partnership with MasterControl, developed MasterManager. This automated connector seamlessly transfers engineering documents from SolidWorks PDM to the corresponding records in MasterControl, eliminating the need for tedious manual processes.
  • Smart Engineering Solutions: Our approach was tailored to the client’s specific needs, ensuring that the solution reflected the company’s requirements, input, and values. With over 20 years of experience in API programming systems, our team ensured the quality and time efficiency of the project.
  • Achieving Seamless Integration: MasterManager’s configurable nature allows users to determine parameters for comparisons and data updates. This not only eliminates manual processes but establishes a single source of truth for reference, ensuring the quality of data and simplifying tracking.
  • The results: Upon implementing MasterManager, the medical device manufacturer immediately saved $42,000 per year in operational engineering expenses. This not only presents immediate cost reductions but positions the company for exponential savings as it grows. Additionally, creating a single source of truth between systems eliminates time-consuming cross-checks, freeing up engineers for innovation and revenue-generating efforts.
