Soft PLM Migration with Data Cleansing at KUKA

Transferring existing incorrect or incomplete data during PLM migration places a heavy burden on the new environment. The robotics and automation specialist KUKA therefore systematically cleansed its inventory of ERP and PLM data at all engineering-to-order (ETO) locations during migration of the SAP data and the simultaneous replacement of the old PDM system with Siemens’ Teamcenter solution. Our PLM integration platform OpenPDM was the driving force behind the data washing machine.

Product Data Deserves Greater Protection

The real value of a company is not to be found in gold or money, but in its data. The data embodies the intellectual property that gives a company its competitive edge. And it‘s not only the Chinese that have recognized it. The intelligence agencies in the West also appear to believe that no methods are taboo as they strive to access confidential information under the guise of combating terrorism. In an age of global collaboration, the protection of intellectual property has become a serious challenge.

In Command of CAD Data - PROSTEP Meyer Werft

In Command of CAD Data at Meyer Werft

The construction of a cruise ship is an ambitious, largescale project, during the course of which hundreds of subcontractors have to be coordinated. To make the exchange of CAD data with partners easier and more secure, Meyer Werft introduced the web-based data exchange platform OpenDXM GlobalX and adapted it to the specific requirements of the shipbuilding industry with the help of PROSTEP.

Replace PLM Systems and Improve Data Quality

The migration of existing data is one of the major challenges faced when replacing PLM systems. It often leads to a delay in the new solution going live or the failure of the entire project. Our PLM integration platform OpenPDM supports different migration strategies – from big-bang migration to incremental migration through to the temporary coexistence of the old and new systems. This allows customers to take a highly flexible approach to PLM migration.

Secure Communication with OpenDXM GlobalX

The case involving Edward Snowden has shown us two things: Firstly, how remiss we are when it comes to handling confidential information and secondly, how shamelessly inquisitive intelligence services exploit this fact. It‘s anyone‘s guess whether they really only use the information they extract for intelligence purposes or also for economic purposes. What is clear is that e-mail encryption alone is not enough to protect our know-how – we need protection mechanisms that are integrated in the e-mail programs themselves.

The Changing World of Sensors

Many automotive suppliers develop their products using the same CAD systems that their clients use. Sensor manufacturer Sensata Technologies spares itself having to maintain dozens of different CAD systems by having the 3D models and 2D drawings converted by PROSTEP. Ever since they adopted this approach, complaints have been few and far between, even though the expectations of the OEMs are increasing all the time.

Long Term and Sporadic Collaboration with OpenPDM

The requirements relating to collaboration between partners are becoming increasingly complex. In joint ventures and other long-term partnerships, companies want to exchange large volumes of data at regular intervals in order to synchronize their development statuses.

Germanischer Lloyd Prepares Launch of Ship Lifecycle Management

PROSTEP supports development of the master data management program.

Support for MEYER Group’s multi-CAD strategy

The Meyer Group is pursuing a multi-CAD strategy as part of an effort to harmonize the heterogeneous IT system landscapes at the various shipyards. In the future, engineers will use 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA to model hulls, interior structures and superstructures, while the CAD marine design system from CADMATIC will be used for infrastructural elements (pipework, ventilation shafts, cabling, etc.)

Digitalizing information logistics in shipbuilding

Shipbuilders have special requirements when it comes to the horizontal integration of heterogeneous CAx process chains and the vertical integration of authoring systems in the overarching data management systems. This is why we developed an extension to the OpenPDM integration platform based on our proven technology and designed specifically for the maritime industry.
