Blum ENOVIA V6 and SolidWorks Integration for Product and Process Innovation
Case study showing how Blum manages SolidWorks designs and product data using ENOVIA V6 alongside legacy SmarTeam for global collaboration and BOM-level change control.
Blum, an Austrian manufacturer of furniture fittings, uses ENOVIA V6 with Adaplet technology to extend its existing ENOVIA SmarTeam environment. The platform supports object-level data management, workflow customization, and secure web access across manufacturing sites in Austria, USA, Brazil, and Poland. It enables engineers to maintain design reuse, enforce approval processes, and transition gradually while preserving prior investments in CAD data and change records.
ENOVIA V6 provides web-based access to product information across global manufacturing sites.
Adaplet technology allows coexistence between ENOVIA SmarTeam and V6 during phased migration.
Object-level BOM and configuration management replace document-level control from SmarTeam.
Workflow rules can be standardized or bypassed to balance policy enforcement with engineering flexibility.
SolidWorks integration supports 3D design reuse and short learning curves for technicians and engineers.
