Integrating complex applications that manage the essential data of your product’s life cycle into your information system.
How we can help you:
We intervene in every phase of development of your PDM solution. Our project managers, architects and development engineers take charge and provide complete support: from the expression of your need to its placement into production.
Our offer is three-pronged:
- defining and analysing the need
- specifying and developing the PDM
- deploying the PDM solution
Fields of intervention:
We intervene at every step of your product’s life cycle: engineering, manufacturing, logistics, maintenance.
- Product structure
- Process analysis and improvement
- Product configuration: application rank, effectivities etc.
- Product modification and upgrade management (CI, CR, CO, etc)
- Data visualisation, especially via digital mock-up
- Document/Electronic Document Management reference base
- CAD-PDM interface
- ERP-PDM interface
- Intra-company and extended enterprise collaborative work

Use of a development platform integrated in market software packages for the improved quality of our production: requirements traceability, uniformity of source code for greater maintainability, test strategy.
Interfacing and consistency between the PDM solution
and the other “building blocks” of your IS: EDM, CAD,
CAM, ERP. Partnership with skills centers: publishers,
technological partners and industrial partners. Information
System performance management.
PDEX : Product Data Exchange
Your need:

Our competency in CAD methods enables us to understand the differences in the methods used by the issuer and receiver of the data and to control the different native formats and exchange formats.
DMU : Digital Mock Up
Your need:
You must integrate all the design, manufacturing, and service environment and tracking functions of your product in its IT simulation.
How we can help you:
We support you in setting up the Digital Mock Up solution; operation, integration, quality management, configuration management and applications/functionality development specific to your needs. You will be able to use the digital mock up like a true platform for product development, process development, communication and the decision on an initial conceptual arrangement all the way to product recycling and maintenance.
CIMPA’s strengths:
- Feasibility
- Product preliminary design
- Integration of configuration management
- Product definition and validation (mock-up reviews)
- Calculations
- Product assembly
- Simulation (mountability, demountability, ergonomics, loading etc.)
- Maintenance
- Production of technical documents
CIMPA’s strengths:
CIMPA controls the entire process using the Digital Mock Up.
In the field of configuration management, CIMPA possesses recognised expertise related to the implementation of methods and tools allowing the management and use of digital mock-ups.
The digital mock-up has become the reference in terms of product definition/manufacture. Resulting from aeronautical requirements, the mock-up integrator business assures the quality of the data necessary to designers or other clients. CIMPA has acquired a position in this new business now open to the entire industrial world.
