Why Data Anonymization is a Need in Technical Drawings?

Many companies ask how to make the value of data that lies in technical drawings for progress without addressing the companies behind it. One of the reasons for this is that, as a manufacturer, you need to hide the corporate information of the suppliers or third parties to make the quotation process more neutral. Besides, you need to maintain the organization's anonymity in technical drawings to ensure customer privacy as a supplier for a corporation. To conceal information about the author's company, it is required to anonymize technical drawings for the various reasons above. Any information identifying the writing company should be eliminated or replaced from the technical drawings.  

Let’s learn more about how it works on the technical drawings.
