Data Creation Services and Beyond

Not All Data is Created Equal—Cambric Provides Smarter Data

Fundamentally, Cambric is different from other Data Service Providers. That’s because we understand engineering and the product reflected in the data. Our end goal is a long-term relationship with our customers. This goal has led us to staff our data creation teams with what some would say are over-qualified people. However, our long-time experience in the world of data creation has taught us that there is much more to conversions, migrations, and obsolescence management than meets the eye.

What Does it Take to Do Data Creation Well?

There are many companies which sell data conversion services. Typically these services are offered by companies that hire software users to perform the work. These people see data in simpler terms than engineers do, and the lack of knowledge shows in their finished products. In contrast Cambric hires designers and engineers to do data creation. When your data is critical, which it almost always is, we know you'll want the higher-quality service that you get at Cambric.

When creating data there is great value in understanding more than just the computer application. A typical CAD operator might just be modeling a “U” shaped part with four holes in it—a qualified person, on the other hand, can see you’re creating a bracket that holds a turbo charger, for example. This person understands how the part fits in the whole, model issues that might cause problems downstream, how to add engineering change orders, and more. Over the course of a conversion project you can see the difference in the resultant quality and value of models produced by these two individuals as inputs into future designs and systems.

Cambric’s Solutions

Rather than ignoring (and hence perpetuating) errors, Cambric uses an effective information request process to eliminate document discrepancies. This lends to a refined filtering of data as it is migrated. In addition, our people will help you define a global specification across your business units as discrepancies are uncovered to help decrease sub-optimization. Cambric understands the need for departmental specifications as well, and is agile enough to take into consideration departmental needs while rendering this service.

Cambric can observe, and with trusted partners, scan physical products to incorporate manufacturing adjustments that occurred in the downstream manufacturing environment. For customers who want to use old designs as a basis for new ones, we can design in flexibility or embed changes from red-lines or engineering change orders (ECOs).

As an extension of our data conversion services we can consult on conversion initiatives and design changes toward consolidation of product families. Through high-end analysis we can also help with cost reduction of “over-designed” features.

Why Does Cambric Take Data Creation So Seriously?

At the end of the day you need to get usable, intelligent data with as little hassle and as much accuracy as possible. Experience has taught us that invariably there are issues that come up when converting data—whether it is from limitations of old systems, missing datum points, inconsistent specifications across departments, or other anomalies. There is nothing worse than spending the dollars to have your data converted only to be beset by problems with new data on the other side of the process.

Cambric provides clean and reliable data creation services that are unrivaled. These value-rich conversion services are quick and offered at competitive prices. We render this work because we want to build a long-term relationship with you. It's a good way for us to not only provide a needed service, but to build trust between your company and ours. Data creation can be a stepping stone for you to obtain other higher-value services such as design, FEA, and engineering. The beauty of moving forward in this way is that, as we work together over time, the value of the engagement increases while the level of risk is mitigated.
