Streamlining Steel Production: Efficient Document Management with 3DEXPERIENCE

Overview

BWC partnered with a global steel leader to modernize their document management system. Transitioning from GEMCOM Hub to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, BWC migrated 58,000 documents, improving efficiency and collaboration.

The Challenge

1

The client was using the GEMCOM Hub, an outdated and unsupported system for managing projects, contracts, and vendors.

2

No documentation existed for GEMCOM, complicating the transition.

3

Managing and migrating 30+ different types of documents from 25+ Data Stores Explored.

Solution

1

Evaluation and Planning

Interviewed GEMCOM users and consulted Dassault Systèmes’ Global Mining team to understand data needs.

2

Migration Process

Converted and mapped metadata to 3DEXPERIENCE, and developed efficient data extraction tools.

Outcome

Key Achievements:

1

Retired obsolete GEMCOM Hub and implemented an integrated data management platform.

2

Provided collaborative data access and unified mine planning activities on a single platform, supported by comprehensive training and post-golive support.

Benefits

1

Improved data organization with enhanced classification.

2

Saved time and costs through reduced manual management.

3

Streamlined project, contract, and vendor management for better teamwork.

Conslusion

BWC’s migration from GEMCOM Hub to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform revolutionized document management for a steel manufacturer, enhancing efficiency, cutting costs, and fostering collaboration with modern technology.
