The case study details how Kärcher replaced fragmented CAD systems and manual BOM processes with a single cloud platform. Key outcomes include linked product and project data, early requirements traceability, automated documentation, and modular product configuration. The implementation supports systems engineering by connecting mechanical and electrical design while reducing redundant work and accelerating time-to-market.

Key takeaways

Centralized product and project data eliminated silos and manual data conversions across seven CAD systems.

Standardized product creation processes and 6W tag search improved global visibility and reduced errors.

Linked requirements, timelines, and resources enabled impact analysis of design changes.

Early service documentation generation and role-based dashboards supported downstream processes.

Planned expansion includes portfolio management, service, and production modules on the same platform.
