The solution to this is Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), a strategic business approach that supports collaborative creation across the enterprise and all stakeholders. ...The solution to this is Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), a strategic business approach that supports collaborative creation across the enterprise and all stakeholders. PLM solutions link information from different authoring tools and others systems to the developing product configuration. ...However, for real time collaboration, the approach must be accomplished through PLM 2.0, “an ONLINE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL.” Through implementation of a unique architecture platform, PLM 2.0 is a reality that creates an online environment that allows stakeholders to work concurrently in real time via a simple Web connection accessing the latest information regardless of geographic location.
This paper reports on the thermal testing of METOP (METerological OPerational satellite) Payload Module Engineering Model, conducted in May/June 2001 at ESTEC’s Large Space Simulator (LSS). The paper describes the logic for the selection of the test configuration, the test phases and the performed test sequences. The test results are presented and the correlation results between predicted and measured temperatures are discussed.
IBM has studied leading manufacturers worldwide and captured the key practices for using the Virtual Product to support innovation throughout Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). These key practices, centered on organization, process, and technology, address the capability to collaborate and innovate through the pervasive use of a Virtual Product.
This paper outlines how product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions can be used to outsource engineering without sacrificing cost controls, intellectual property integrity, or in-house engineering talent.
Infor Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Accelerate, powered by Aras, is a new PLM solution designed for automotive, industrial manufacturing, high-tech, and aerospace and defense customers.
Aras Manufacturing Process Planning (MPP) is a new product lifecycle management (PLM) platform-based application from Aras for managing the complex business processes that extend from product development through manufacturing.
As the complexity of aircraft rises, it’s becoming more difficult to ensure that all the mechanical and electrical elements work together well. More and more companies are establishing data management schemes that enable design and manufacturing engineers to work more closely together.
Vendors of computer aided design (CAD) technology and tools have embraced the concept of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), and now offer suites of software that cover most aspects of the design, build, use and maintenance of products. ...The Boeing 787 Dreamliner™ program is an example of PLM implementation on a very large scale. Human modeling technology is an important component of the PLM tools, and has been integrated into the 787 design process. ...Human modeling technology is an important component of the PLM tools, and has been integrated into the 787 design process. In order to complete this integration, much work was done on identifying the key users and design processes that were most impacted by the use of human modeling.
Low risk, high gain stakes in aerospace design With the aerospace world pulling back from groundbreaking, high-risk aircraft designs, how are PLM and CAE suppliers adapting in providing solutions?
Correspondingly, OEM’s and suppliers are adopting and implementing CAD and PLM strategies that shall be explored together with the ideal PLM strategy for OEM’s and suppliers
Essentially, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is to a company's product value chain (Engineering IP) what Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is to its inventory and manufacturing processes. ...This paper's intent is to provide insight into today's global business platform, and how having the proper strategy with a scalable PLM solution will provide both short and long term value.
To achieve this goal, the proposed system is designed and it support all the feature, which are needed in the PLM. The utilization of such PLM based system will reduce development time and lead to increased system flexibility thereby increasing the application opportunities. ...This paper presents a PLM platform, which aim to provide a consistent environment & Decision support at design stage in Tata Motors.
Digital aerospace gets dynamic Aerospace design is advancing from the static to the dynamic as PLM and simulation tools enable systems architects to design validated systems earlier in the process.
This paper is dedicated to the thermal design and testing of SMOS payload module (PLM). The PLM thermal design is passive, maximizes the use of proven materials and processes and is supported by heaters. ...The verification of the PLM thermal design is based on a Thermal Balance (TB) testing of a Structural Thermal Model (STM), followed by a TB/TV test on the ProtoFlight Model (PFM). ...A Thermal Vacuum (TV) test has also been performed for the complete spacecraft. The PLM test objectives, the test phases and the requirements for the test environment lead to a unique test setup with an MGSE designed to deploy the payload inside the facility and to test it at different orientations relative to the Sun.
The next generation of 3D PLM tools, referred to as PLM 2.0 can bring real-time, global collaboration to life with features such as a single PLM platform for Intellectual Property (IP) management (one database and one server), and the open Server-Oriented Architecture (SOA) development platform. ...Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) capabilities such as concurrent development, seamless integration, simultaneous engineering, single source database, and real-time visibility have long been capable within the automotive development process. ...Today, there are certain market drivers requiring more from PLM technology. This includes the fact that companies must drive innovation to survive in today’s increasingly competitive and global auto industry.
The ISO-satellite consists of a Service and a Payload Module (PLM), the latter being essentially made up of the Cryostat. The paper describes essentially the hardware status of the PLM-flight model as it is delivered for final satellite integration and acceptance testing before flight.
Between both tests a test jig carrying a set of stimuli and test equipment was installed on the PLM. In November 2002 the PLM flight model 1 was subjected to a TV test at ESTEC with additional TB phases to improve the TMM. ...In February 2004 PLM flight model 2 has executed also TV testing at ESTEC. The test objectives, the test phases and the requirements for the test environment lead to a unique test setup with a test jig carrying different cold plates, heated plates and targets. ...Unfortunately the PLM orientation does not coincide with the required instrument orientation (due to a rotating corner cube mechanism), so a dedicated support frame was designed.
