PROSTEP EBM PAPST CAD PDM Migration

EBM PAPST Uses PROSTEP as Expert Partner for CAD/PDM Migration

There are many obstacles to be surmounted when switching to a new CAD/PDM system, not least of which is the migration of existing data. Utilizing the services of the software vendor is not the only option for migrating such data. The Landshut-based manufacturers of motors and fans ebm-papst imported their CAD and PDM data into the Windchill PDMLink system from PTC with the assistance of PROSTEP AG, which allowed them to complete this demanding migration project on time and below budget.

PLM - A Way out of the Crisis

PLM: A way out of the crisis

After enjoying a number of boom years, German shipbuilders are also feeling the impact of the worldwide economic crisis. A decline in new orders and an increase in order cancellations pose a problem for the shipbuilding industry. IT experts recommend using the crisis as an opportunity to improve competitiveness. Data integration and data communication in the development networks concerned with the ship development process in particular still offer significant rationalization potential.

OpenDXM GlobalX Data Exchange

Quantity is Quality when it comes to Data Exchange

Thanks to encryption and Digital Rights Management (DRM), the secure exchange of sensitive
data over the web is no longer a problem. The challenge lies in shifting even large mountains of
data quickly and reliably between the respective exchange partners. The exchange of bulk data
calls for special protocols and mechanisms, such as those provided by PROSTEP’s web-based data exchange portal OpenDXM GlobalX.

Insufficient Communication in Shipbuilding

Insufficient Communication in Shipbuilding

Compared with the automotive or aerospace industry, the shipbuilding industry is characterized by extremely short development and production cycles. It takes only a little more than a year for a vessel to evolve from initial design to launch. Up to 200 suppliers may be involved in its development. Insufficient communication between the shipyards and their partners is becoming an ever more significant obstacle in the development process. Fortunately, solutions for process automation in product data communication provide anelegant way of avoiding such problems.
