Cyient’s white paper examines how manufacturers can replace fragmented, drawing-heavy workflows with a Product Manufacturing Information (PMI)-driven Master Model that serves as a single digital source of truth. By embedding geometry, tolerances, materials, surface finishes, process steps, and other manufacturing data directly into 3D models, organizations can improve continuity from engineering through production and inspection. Linked stage models automatically reflect design changes, reducing manual verification, errors, rework, and machine downtime. Cyient reports potential effort reductions of up to 70% in engineering and process planning and up to 80% in NC programming after initial setup. The approach also strengthens traceability, quality, collaboration, and integration with PLM, ERP, MES, CAM, and QMS systems.
