Communication Collaboration in Smart Engineering - PROSTEP

Communication and Collaboration in the Context of Smart Engineering

How must a tool infrastructure be designed if it is to make possible smart engineering that truly satisfies the requirements of Industry 4.0? The author is of the opinion that expanding an existing IT backbone, such as PLM, into a “data hub” will only lead to the desired result if important steps in the direction of openness and agility are taken. A position paper on the prerequisites for an IT infrastructure that make the digital master and digital twin possible.

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.

Cleaning Up the PLM Infrastructure at Karcher

With a workforce of more than 11,300 across 60 countries and annual sales of 2.22 billion euros, Kärcher is the world’s leading supplier of cleaning technology. But when it comes to cleaning up its heterogeneous CAD and PLM architecture, the family-owned company does not just rely on its own expertise. The experts at PROSTEP are providing advice on formulating the new PLM strategy and modernizing the IT infrastructure.

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.

Clean Data Provides the Drive – GKN

The integration of joint ventures in the PLM landscape places high demands on the way data flows are controlled in order to ensure not only that work can proceed efficiently but also that know-how is protected. GKN Driveline, the world‘s leading manufacturer of drive trains, uses PROSTEP‘s OpenPDM platform to provide its joint venture companies in China with all the required CAD data and synchronize this data following modification.

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.

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.)
