Leveraging Technical Data Packages for Competitive Advantage
Technical Data Packages (TDPs)
Increase the accuracy and efficiency of your TDP creation process
TDPs give manufacturers a streamlined method of sharing and accessing data, while ensuring that data remains up to date and consistent. But that’s really only true if the process of creating TDPs themselves is efficient. With our comprehensive, recipe-based approach to TDP creation, Anark gives manufacturers an easy way to find the right data, share it, and start collaborating.
Common TDP Challenges
Errors and no traceability
Building and exchanging effective TDPs requires effective communication across multiple teams and departments. There are countless opportunities for miscommunication and errors, many of which result in costly scrap, rework, and lost productivity. And a lack of traceability results in repeat mistakes.
Incomplete or incorrect data
Complex product data, especially when it needs to be consolidated from multiple sources of truth, file types, and other locations, can be difficult to package. From version control issues to accessibility challenges, it’s not uncommon for many companies to have trouble creating accurate and complete TDPs.
Power lost in translation
Without the right TDP creation and distribution processes in place, inconsistent, lower quality and often inaccurate data finds its way into the hands of downstream consumers. This slows everyone down, requiring special views and repackaging — a vicious cycle process that costs time and money.
Optimize TDP Data Exchange with Anark
Start spending less time searching for the data you need and more time sharing accurate and comprehensive TDPs with the people who need them most. With the Anark Product Innovation Platform, you can automatically connect to all your data sources at once, streamline TDP creation with automated recipes, instantly share product data with stakeholders, and collaborate in the context of powerful engineering product data for a traceable digital thread.
Anark Workstation
Take control of TDP creation to harness the full power of your 3D CAD.
Plug into any CAD tool to instantly transform your native CAD designs into ready-to-share 3D PDFs and file-less TDPs. Add in your own knowledge using our intuitive tools to make everything as easy as possible to understand. Save time by creating your own automated recipes for importing data or use one of our pre-built templates, complete with MIL-STD-31000B compliance.
Anark Collaborate
Go faster with traced TDP collaboration across the digital thread.
Ensure your latest information is all in one place by automatically synchronizing with your PLM system, or by just dragging and dropping in files like CAD, BOM, and other data types. Get granular control over this data to securely share it with those who need access, then collaborate in the context of that data with powerful markup tools, real-time chat, and other ways to communicate.
Anark Publish
Automate TDP publishing to supercharge your processes.
Automatically synchronize with PLM and PDM systems to instantly extract the latest data and ensure you never go looking for it. Intelligently translate that data into individual TDP components, including interactive elements for 3D PDFs. Whenever you want, set automatic triggers for publishing so that the right people get the right data at the right time.
