The amount of information increases rapidly when working in a distributed environment where multiple collaborative partners work together on a complex product. Today's PDM (product data management) systems provide good capabilities regarding the management of product data within a single company. However, taking into account the variety of systems used at partner sites in an engineering environment one can easily imagine problems regarding the interoperability and the data consistency. This paper presents a concept to improve the workflow management using the parameters network. It shows a parameter driven engineering workflow that is able to manage engineering task across company boarders. We introduce a mechanism of workflow management based on the engineering parameters and an architecture of the distributed workspace to apply it within a PDM system. For a parameter mapping between CAD and PDM system we developed an XML-based CATIA data interface module using CAA.

PDM(Product Data Management)은 제품정보 및 개발 프로세스를 관리하는데 많은 이점이 있는 도구로써 인식되어 왔으며, 제품 설계, 제작, 건설, 유지, 보수하는데 필요한 많은 양의 데이터 및 정보를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있다. PDM은 일반적으로 EDM(engineering data management), DM(document management), PIM(product information management), TDM(technical data management), TIM(technical information management) 등으로 알려진 기술의 보다 더 일반화된 개념이다.(중략)

Since software and hardware integration has became a strategic tool for companies to innovate their products, an information system that can comprehensively manage software and hardware integrated product development is critical for the current product development. This paper proposed a product data model that can support modules of related software and hardware parts in Product Data Management(PDM) integrated with Software Configuration Management(SCM). The model allows engineers to define software and hardware product structure independently, and support the integration module that can summon related software and hardware parts to build a comprehensive module for collaboration. Through the integration module, engineers can identify and examine the effectiveness of their design alternatives to other related parts form different disciplines. The product data model was implemented as a prototype PDM system and tested with an example robotics product.

Recent market competition forces the price to be determined in the design stage so that the design would meet the target price of the product. However, most commercial PDM(Product Data Management) systems currently in use lack such a cost estimation function. In this paper, we propose detailed structure and functions of a new approach to estimate the cost of new products using integrated BOM in PDM. Such system will reduce the total life cycle cost of the products to be designed.

As product development process becomes complex, it becomes more important for engineering students to experience collaborative product development. Especially the collaboration experience based on Product Data Management (PDM) systems is useful, since participants are likely to use the same environment for their professional product development. However, instructors have difficulties to evaluate contribution of each participant to their projects during the practices, since it is hard to trace personal activities for collaborative design processes. To solve this problem, this study suggests a data-driven objective method that analyses product data accumulated in PDM databases to evaluate numerically calculated contributions of participants to their class projects. As a result, the quantitative measures provided by the data-driven analysis with qualitative measures for project results can improve the fairness and quality of evaluation of contributions of participants to collaborative projects. This study implemented the proposed evaluation method with an information system and discussed the result of the application of the system to product development practices.

현재 CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing)을 구축하려고 하는 많은 기업들이 기업의 모든 기능을 정보기술을 이용하여 통합해 나가려는 움직임을 보이고 있다. CIM의 기능을 경영, 설계, 생산의 세 기능으로 구분할 경우 경영부문과 생산부문은 MIS, MRP-II 등을 이용하여 통합단계로 나가는 것이 가능하나 설계부문은 상대적으로 데이타의 구조가 복잡하고 CAD/CAM등 사용되는 시스템도 다양하기 때문에 통합하는 것이 비교적 어려웠다. 그러나 최근에 동시설계(Concurrent Engineering)기법과 PDM(Product Data Management) 기술의 향상에 따라 설계의 기획부터 양산 직전까지의 설계업무 전체를 통합화하는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 Product Data의 정의와 관리방법(PDM)을 체계화 시키고 이 개념을 설계업무 전반에 적용할 경우 동시설계(Concurrent Engineering)가 가능하도록 Engineering Information System의 구조와 구축방법을 제시하였다.

PDM is an integrated solution for managing various kinds of document and information for a whole life~cycle of product management. PDM system spans a huge and complex area and requires so many efforts and budgets for development. A framework has been considered a promising way to improve productivity by reusing the software architecture, not just one part of the design or just source code. This was the reaSon why we developed PDM (Product Data Management) framework. Framework can reduce the time and efforts to develop a new PDM application. However, it also requires supporting environment since a framework is a big set of classes where their interactions are so complex. With this supporting environment, it is easy to understand the framework at a glance and easy to identify what hot spots to be refined to meet new requirements. In this paper, a new framework-supporting reuse environment based on the meta-repository was constructed for easy and convenient reuse.

Company perform a lot process to produce products. If company try to satisfy for customer and improve technological competition, they must be changed to new system. As a result, we developed knowledge based smart search system and customized it to PDM system on commercial use. In this smart search system, wherever process designer can seek to result quickly. This will be upgraded for be applied to some company.

With the development of industry, product data management system is becoming more and more important. An expanded view of product definition function that include a bill of material and routing database, current and historical engineering data and specifications and engineering changes order history. PDM (Product Data Management) systems hold and manage such material as product specifications, plans, geometric models, CAD drawings and images. Furthermore, PDM enables companies producing complex products to spread product data in to the entire launch process. Especially, PDTnet XML Schema is an international standard for exchanging of PDM data. But PDTnet XML Schema differs from existing XML Schema in the way that its property of IDREF/IDREFS is irregular. Therefore it is important factor that. what do we use storage devices and storage techniques. We developed storage techniques and application supporting various query types and preserving PDTnet XML Schema using a relational database that guaranteeing the performance nowadays. In this paper, we will show that our storage techniques minimize repeated data and optimize query processing by using application comparison with storage techniques of existing XML Schema data.

In this paper, we explain the DMU (digital mockup) system based on the PDM system. Most manufacturing companies are trying to develop a competitive product by increasing the quality, shortening time to market (TIM) and reducing the cost of a product. Some technologies such as SE (System Engineering), CE (Concurrent Engineering), QFD (Quality Function Development), CI (Cost Innovation) and some systems such as CAD (Computer-Aided Design), CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering), CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), PDM (Product Data Management) and visualization system are adopted for these purposes. Specially, DMU system utilizes a visualization system that shows the 3D shape of a product on the computer and it gives a quick intuition to a person whether he/she is an engineer or not. It also can induce the effects of CE and QFD. SO, 0 company is developing a DMU system integrating CAD, visualization and PDM system. The main feature of the developed DMU system is that it is entirely integrated with PDM system, which means that the 3D shape of any part or assembly can be retrieved through PDM system. The DMU system will change the development process, which will increase the competitiveness of a developed product.
