Understanding the ADAM Suite
the 7 steps
of a documentary project with ADAM
In an industrial environment where every production step is critical, documentation management must be precise and seamless. The ADAM Suite from 4D CONCEPT offers a structured approach to support every phase of a product’s lifecycle, from specification to after-sales. Learn how ADAM optimizes each documentation step to ensure the efficiency and continuity of your projects.
Specification of the product and Its data
The documentation specification phase serves as the starting point of the project, running parallel to the industrial program’s technical specification.
At this stage, deliverables (manual types), the XML schema, and logistics support requirements (maintenance) are defined.
Although no specific ADAM Suite module is used at this stage, this preparation is essential to design a structured and efficient documentation workshop.
Documentation specification phase :
The time to lay the foundations for an effective documentation workshop
3D design and structuring phase
During the industrial design phase, documentation is structured based on the 3D model and the relationships between the sBOM (Service Bill of Materials) and eBOM (Engineering Bill of Materials).
This structuring ensures consistency between the product and its documentation, facilitating the management of technical information and ensuring its accuracy.
3D design and structuring phase
Align technical information with the 3D model and logistics studies to improve support
Fabrication and use of the workshop
During the fabrication phase, the documentation workshop is configured according to the defined specifications.
Adjustments can be made to accommodate last-minute changes, deliveries from industrial partners, and production modifications, ensuring that the documentation remains aligned with the final product.
Fabrication and use of the workshop
Adjusting settings based on industrial constraints and customizing publications
Creation of illustrated catalogs
During the fabrication phase, creating an illustrated catalog of spare parts becomes essential to guide maintenance and assembly operations.
With ADAM IPC Builder, you can design a 3D spare parts catalog, integrating detailed diagrams and illustrations for quick and precise component identification. This module provides intuitive navigation and simplifies access to technical information.

Deliveries and monitoring of deliverables
At the delivery stage and during after-sales, documentation is directly used by maintenance teams.
Maintenance steps and procedures are regularly tracked and updated to ensure accurate documentation throughout the product’s lifecycle.
Deliveries and monitoring of deliverables
Improving customer relationships through after-sales services.
Interactive visualization of documentation
To provide quick and interactive access to technical documentation, ADAM Viewer and ADAM Portal offer a comprehensive document visualization solution.
Users can consult manuals, technical diagrams, and maintenance procedures intuitively, with advanced features such as search functions, annotations, and customized views. This module ensures access to information anywhere and anytime.
Interactive visualization of documentation
Facilitating access for operators and maintenance users.
Setting up a documentation portal
Beyond individual documentation, capitalizing on technical data becomes essential for optimizing future projects.
With ADAM Portal, you can centralize deliverables from various projects, in all formats, control access, and provide a comprehensive and organized view of all available technical data.
This secure documentation portal enables teams to quickly retrieve information from different sources, ensuring continuity and optimal knowledge utilization within the organization.
