In the wave of digital transformation in the manufacturing industry, core data such as design drawings, process parameters, and BOM tables have become the lifeline of enterprises.
A leaked drawing may cause tens of millions of R&D investment to be wasted; a leaked process document may instantly wipe out the technical advantages accumulated over the years.
Based on the characteristics of the machinery manufacturing industry, Andehezhong has created a data security protection system covering the entire process of “design → production → outsourcing → archiving”.
There are many data security pain points in the machinery manufacturing industry.
First of all, design drawings are transmitted at will. CAD drawings are freely circulated on the internal network, USB flash drives, and emails, making it difficult to control.
Secondly, the outbound drawings were completely out of control. The drawings sent to suppliers were forwarded twice and used beyond the expiration date, but the company had no knowledge of it.
Furthermore, the source of printed drawings cannot be traced. Paper drawings are taken out of the company, making it difficult to trace the person responsible for the leak.
In addition, the problem of leakage of secrets due to the resignation of R&D key personnel is also more prominent. Resigned employees copy design drawings and process documents in batches, resulting in the loss of core assets.
There are also difficulties in multi-factory management, the security policies of the headquarters and branches are inconsistent, and there are management blind spots.
Andehezhong has launched a series of effective solutions.
First, the design drawings are transparent and encrypted.
Using driver layer transparent encryption technology, designers can draw and save normally in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, UG/NX and other software, and the system automatically completes encryption and decryption in the background.
The drawings are used normally within the company, but once they are illegally sent out, they will display garbled characters when opened.
This solution supports more than 200 CAD software, and the performance loss is less than 5%.
Second, the outbound cloud box allows the drawings to be sent out still under control.
Encrypt the drawings and encapsulate them in a special format. When sending them to suppliers, you can set the validity period, number of readings, prohibit printing, prohibit screenshots, and bind designated devices.
After the drawings are issued, permissions can still be modified remotely or emergency disabled. Outgoing records are completely retained, and leaks can be traced.
Third, print watermark + screen watermark, double repeated lines.
Printing drawings automatically add a QR code watermark, including the printer, time, and project information, and the source can be traced by scanning the code.
The screen watermark prevents taking pictures and leaves traces when taking pictures.
Fourth, departments are safely isolated.
The security domain is divided by department, and the drawings of the R&D department and the production department cannot be viewed.
Documents within the same department can be circulated freely, and cross-department access is strictly controlled.
Fifth, distributed deployment and unified management and control of multiple factories.
Supports distributed deployment in multiple factories, centralized management and control through a unified management platform, consistent delivery of security policies, and centralized auditing of logs.
Sixth, integration with PLM/PDM systems.
Seamlessly integrates with product life cycle management systems such as PLM and PDM to achieve “upload decryption and download encryption” to ensure server data security.
Ande and Zhong’s solutions have significant application value. From design to outsourcing, from screen to printing, every drawing is safe and controllable, protecting data security in the machinery manufacturing industry.
