Using MetaData for Engineering / Manufacturing

Engineering teams often need a common area to collaborate on joint projects and track the work that is in progress.  Your engineering and manufacturing teams can use FilesAnywhere MetaData to track design documents, engineering diagrams, and related project files.  Store and share documents, and create a custom MetaData form to enter details and workflow info that is most important to your team.  

 

For example, upload CAD drawing versions and track the status of the engineering drawing between members.
