TechnologiCS

TechnologiCS ADM is an administration component of the TechnologiCS information system, designed to manage users and corporate environment settings.

TechnologiCS is used to automate engineering and manufacturing process preparation, production planning, and resource management at mechanical engineering enterprises. The administration component is used by specialists responsible for maintaining the system.

The TechnologiCS 8.1 platform is listed on the official CSoft Development website. The ADM designation remains in the licensing catalog, but the exact rights granted by a specific product SKU must be confirmed.

User Management

TechnologiCS administration tools allow administrators to create employee accounts, organize them into groups, and define data access permissions.

• Create and configure users.
• Organize employee groups.
• Assign individual and group permissions.
• Manage access to information system objects.
• Configure user environment settings.

This structure is necessary to separate access permissions between engineering, process planning, manufacturing, and administrative departments.

System Configuration

TechnologiCS provides administration tools for configuring reference directories, operating parameters, and system restrictions.

Administrators can manage certain settings of the electronic archive, document workflows, and other subsystems. However, the functional capabilities available to individual departments depend on their assigned user configurations.

Infrastructure Maintenance

TechnologiCS uses a client-server architecture with a shared database. Its infrastructure includes a database server, license server, configuration server, and file repository.

Administration tools allow users to configure and maintain the information environment. In version 8.1, the developer also describes changes to user management commands and administrative procedures.

Licensing

ADM is an administration component of the platform. It does not replace user configurations for engineering preparation, process planning, or production management.

CAD.kz can help select the server and administration components required to implement TechnologiCS.

TechnologiCS CFG is an infrastructure component associated with the use and maintenance of configurations in the TechnologiCS corporate information system.

The TechnologiCS platform combines engineering preparation, process planning, production scheduling, and manufacturing record data. Departments work with a shared database and specialized user configurations.

The TechnologiCS 8.1 platform is listed on the official website. The CFG designation appears in the licensing catalog, but the developer has not published a detailed specification for the separate license on its website.

Workstation Configurations

TechnologiCS supports different user configurations corresponding to the responsibilities of enterprise departments.

The system uses a configuration server to connect workstations to the appropriate information environment.

• Register and configure working configurations.
• Organize client application connections.
• Prepare updates for workstations.
• Maintain information system configurations.

These functions are confirmed for the TechnologiCS infrastructure as a whole. The exact rights granted by the CFG license must be established from the commercial specification.

Working in a Unified System

TechnologiCS configurations use shared reference directories containing information about materials, equipment, products, manufacturing processes, and other enterprise objects.

This allows different departments to work with consistent data and avoids the need to create independent databases for each department.

Updates and Maintenance

Official TechnologiCS documentation provides for centralized installation and updating of client workstations through the configuration server.

When updating the system, compatibility between the configurations in use and the server infrastructure must be verified.

Licensing

CFG should not be presented as a standalone application for product design or production management. Its purpose is related to the platform infrastructure.

CAD.kz can help determine the components required to deploy the corporate system.

TechnologiCS MAN is a user configuration of the TechnologiCS information system designed for working with technical documents and enterprise reference information.

TechnologiCS combines engineering, manufacturing process, and production data in a single information environment. User configurations allow employees to access functionality appropriate to their responsibilities.

The official TechnologiCS 8.1 feature matrix includes the MAN configuration. Its confirmed capabilities include working with the electronic document archive and accessing electronic reference directories.

Electronic Document Archive

TechnologiCS allows technical documents to be stored and linked to enterprise information objects.

• Search documents by available attributes.
• View documents and related materials.
• Work with technical document versions.
• Use a structured electronic archive.

Available operations depend on the configuration and the permissions assigned to the user.

Corporate Reference Directories

TechnologiCS consolidates information about materials, components, equipment, tools, and other enterprise resources in shared reference directories.

Users can access consistent information used by engineering, process planning, and manufacturing departments.

This helps ensure consistent use of identifiers, material properties, and product information when preparing documentation.

Working in a Unified Database

The MAN configuration operates within the unified TechnologiCS client-server system. Data does not need to be transferred between independent applications used by different departments.

Access permissions defined by the administrator are applied during operation. This makes it possible to restrict information changes and provide employees with only the operations they need.

Difference from Other Configurations

The official TechnologiCS 8.1 website lists separate configurations, including PDM, CAPP, MAN, MES, PLM, and others.

PDM includes management of product specifications and product data. CAPP includes manufacturing process planning. MAN is confirmed to support archive and reference directory access, but not the full functionality of these extended configurations.

CAD.kz can help select the required user configurations and arrange implementation.

TechnologiCS PDM is a user configuration of the TechnologiCS system for managing engineering data and product information. It is intended for design departments, technical archives, and divisions of mechanical engineering companies.

The software consolidates information about parts, assemblies, materials, bills of materials, and documents in a shared information database.

TechnologiCS 8.1, which includes the PDM configuration in its functional scope, is listed on the official CSoft website.

Product Structure Management

TechnologiCS allows users to store information about product structures, their constituent parts, and assemblies. Engineering data is linked to bills of materials and electronic documents.

• Manage product structures and bills of materials.
• Work with design variants.
• Track where parts and assemblies are used.
• Store materials and component information.
• Prepare product structure reports.

When a design changes, information about relationships between products and documents can be used to analyze the affected components.

Electronic Archive

The PDM configuration includes access to an electronic archive of technical documentation. Drawing and model files are linked to product objects, their identifiers, and properties.

Document version storage, status management, and electronic approval mechanisms are supported.

This enables controlled collaboration between multiple specialists working with engineering documentation.

CAD System Integration

TechnologiCS supports integration with widely used mechanical engineering CAD systems. Official materials describe integration with Autodesk Inventor, SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge, and КОМПАС-3D.

CAD-Communicator and other interface components are used for data exchange. They allow CAD file properties to be linked to PDM attributes, assembly structures to be transferred, and document information to be updated.

The exact list of compatible CAD software versions must be confirmed for the interface being used.

Collaboration and Change Management

TechnologiCS provides tools for managing document statuses, electronic approvals, and change control.

The PDM configuration operates within a unified platform alongside other TechnologiCS subsystems. Product information can be shared with manufacturing process planning and production scheduling specialists.

Licensing

PDM is a separate TechnologiCS user configuration. License selection should take into account the number of design engineers, the types of CAD systems used, and the need for access to other functional modules.

CAD.kz can help select licenses, arrange implementation, and provide training for the engineering department.
