About PARTsolutions

PARTsolutions by CADENAS is an indispensable data spine for complex manufacturing and heavy engineering organizations.

PARTsolutions by CADENAS is an indispensable data spine for complex manufacturing and heavy engineering organizations. By uniting massive, certified supplier catalogs with cutting-edge geometric shape-searching tools, it solves a costly engineering problem: the unnecessary creation of duplicate parts. While its specialized focus, enterprise pricing, and intricate setup process make it less suited for smaller shops, its deep integration with CAD, PDM, and ERP systems makes it an absolute gold standard for large-scale operations looking to streamline procurement and maximize design reuse.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Every component model passes through an official validation pipeline directly with the supplier.
  • Bridges the data gap between what engineering designs and what purchasing actually stocks.
  • Finds parts by their physical shape and geometry, effortlessly outperforming standard keyword searches.
  • Eliminates the headache of manually redrawing standard supplier components across different design software.
Cons
  • Losing network connectivity can cut off smooth access to cloud-hosted manufacturer catalogs.
  • Maximizing the configuration options and managing corporate metadata paths demands specialized training.
  • Setting up deep, automated connections across your PDM and ERP systems requires dedicated IT resources.

Features

Key features

Preferred Parts Coding & Reduction Strategy

Allows system administrators to mark specific parts with color-coded alerts (green, yellow, red) to guide engineers to reuse pre-approved components.

Multi-CAD Native Model Generation

Dynamically outputs geometric files directly into 50+ native CAD formats—preserving all parametric design trees, attributes, and mating constraints.

Geometric Similarity Search (GEOsearch)

Scans the company's private structural databases to locate identical or similarly shaped components based on a CAD design or sketch.

Vast Certified 3D CAD Parts Library

Unlocks a database of over 100 billion high-fidelity, manufacturer-certified standard models.

Additional features

BOM (Bill of Materials) Analyzer

Scans large engineering assemblies to pinpoint duplicate part listings, cleaning up the backend master list.

Purchineering Risk Assessment

Generates direct cost-trend calculations and alerts engineers to high-risk or long-lead delivery parts early in design cycles.

Attribute and Metadata Mapping

Synchronizes naming parameters (like length, thread pitch, material density) precisely between standard supplier sheets and your internal ERP fields.

Bi-directional ERP/PLM Interlocking

Ensures that searching for a part concurrently checks if the component is already registered and stocked in your warehouse.

2D Exploded & Technical Drawing Outputs

Provides legacy drafting workspaces with automated, clear flat dimensions alongside 3D options.

Kinematic Simulation Verification

Embeds motion values and kinematic limits straight into components to test real-world physical boundaries inside CAD programs.

Cloud-Native Web Client Access

Empowers distributed development teams to browse and configure components through a flexible browser layout.

Digital Twin and AAS Asset Provisioning

Delivers components equipped with complete structural Administration Shell data for Industry 4.0 automation systems.

Automated Duplicate Reporting alerts

Regularly sends out reports that call out unnecessary parts created by independent design teams.

Compliance and Environmental Screening

Tracks RoHS, REACH, and material data directly inside the engineering lookup phase.
