Company Performance Metrics
Blue Byte Systems Inc. is a SOLIDWORKS Solution Partner that builds automation software and custom development solutions for engineering teams using SOLIDWORKS, SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional, and related CAD/PDM workflows.
The company focuses on reducing manual engineering effort by automating high-volume and repetitive processes such as batch
exporting, file preparation for release, metadata consistency, revision control, vault cleanup, and structured data migration. Their work sits at the intersection of CAD, PDM, workflow automation, and API development, where repeatable tasks can be converted into reliable utilities, add-ins, and background processes.
Blue Byte Systems delivers both commercial off-the-shelf products and custom consulting projects. On the product side, they develop tools such as PDMShell (a command-line automation tool for SOLIDWORKS PDM) and PDMPublisher (an automated publishing/export engine for generating formats like PDF, DXF, STEP, and more from PDM-managed files). These tools are designed for scalability—supporting large file volumes, consistent output rules, and integration into release workflows.
On the services side, Blue Byte Systems builds custom SOLIDWORKS PDM add-ins, tasks, and integrations for customers who need workflows beyond what PDM provides out-of-the-box. This includes handling complex permission models, workflow transitions, batch processing, metadata mapping, and robust error handling patterns that are critical in real production vaults.
Overall, Blue Byte Systems is known for building practical engineering automation—tools that connect SOLIDWORKS design data, PDM control, and downstream deliverables into a streamlined, traceable, and repeatable process.
