SWOOD Center
Centralized data management for woodworking projects
What is SWOOD Center?
SWOOD Center is a central hub that helps woodworking teams using SOLIDWORKS to manage all their manufacturing data in one place. It works seamlessly with SWOOD Design and SWOOD CAM, making it easier to keep materials, panels, edge banding, and hardware organized and consistent across projects. By connecting to your external data systems, SWOOD Center lets users standardize resources, simplify library updates, and reduce errors. Whether you're part of a small workshop or a large manufacturing team, SWOOD Center helps streamline workflows and keep everyone on the same page.
Tools
Multi-User Collaboration
In collaborative woodworking environments, SWOOD Center ensures that teams can work from a unified data souce. Multiple users can access and manage shared materials, hardware, and design standards simultaneously, helping maintain consistency, reduce errors, and streamline workflows across the entire manufacturing process.
Access Control and Permissions
SWOOD Center offers customizable user roles and permission settings, allowing administrators to manage who can access, modify, or delete shared woodworking resources. This role-based access control enhances data security, supports governance policies, and ensures only authorized team members make critical changes.
Custom Configuration Templates
With SWOOD Center, manufacturers can create and apply custom configuration templates tailored to various project types. These templates streamline setup for new designs or production runs, ensuring consistency with predefined woodworking standards, materials, and methods across every job.
Multi-Site Deployment Support
SWOOD Center supports multi-site deployment, making it easy for woodworking companies with multiple locations to maintain consistent data across all branches. Centralized updates to materials, components, and configurations ensure standardization and efficiency throughout every production facility.
