PROSTEP subsidiary BHC collaborates with Intland Software

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2020

PROSTEP‘s subsidiary BHC, which helps companies integrate PLM and application lifecycle management (ALM) in mechatronics and software development, has established a cooperation with Intland Software. In its role as rollout and consulting partner to the ALM vendor, BHC will be able to offer its customers not only services but also integrations based on the codeBeamer ALM software solution.

Intland Software develops codeBeamer, an end-to-end ALM solution that supports the entire software development cycle and ensures a higher level of process transparency. Its well-engineered functions make it possible to speed up software development, in both agile and regulated environments. In addition, the ALM solution makes collaboration between distributed development teams easier, thus shortening development cycles.

“We are very pleased to have Intland Software, a recognized expert in collaborative development processes and application lifecycle management, as our partner,” says Philipp Hasenäcker, managing director of BHC, commenting on the cooperation. “The partnership allows us to expand our established range of PLM and ALM services for mechatronics and software to include a very powerful, state-of-the-art ALM solution and thus offer our customers an outstanding complete package for their digital business.”

BHC and Intland have worked successfully together on customer projects in the past and expect to be able to assert themselves on the market more decisively by bundling their competencies more tightly. “Our successful collaboration with BHC in the past is the reason we entered into a partnership,” says Andreas Pabinger, vice president of Intland’s Automotive Business Unit. “The pragmatic and customer-oriented approach that BHC’s consultants take to the challenges posed by PLM and ALM provides valuable assistance for our customer projects”.

ProProS research project enters crucial phase

Thursday, September 17th, 2020

Following successful completion of an assessment of the current status, the joint research project ProProS being carried out by the Bremen-based Lürssen shipyard group, the Machine Tool Laboratory (WZL) at RWTH University in Aachen and PROSTEP AG is entering the crucial phase. The task now is to develop new methods for end-to-end digitalization of the shipyard’s manufacturing and assembly processes.

Production planning in shipbuilding is characterized by a poor overview of the planning status at the different planning levels and a low-level feedback that is provided late by production. As a result, delays often occur because problems are identified too late and planners have a difficult time finding alternative production paths. The shipyard expects increased digitalization of the processes and the implementation of new tools for anticipatory production planning and control to shorten lead times for the individual departments and result in more efficient use of the infrastructure and available resources.

The aim of the ProProS project is to create a digital twin for the shipyard’s manufacturing and assembly processes that can be used for status monitoring and for optimizing shipbuilding. Together with the WZL’s manufacturing experts, who are responsible for developing the production technology logic, we will be mapping the planning data from the target process (product structure, work orders, assembly sequence, scheduling, etc.) in an end-to-end data model, so that it can be compared in real time with the actual data from production and assembly.

The joint project has an overall budget of 3.2 million euros and is sponsored by the BMWi. It is coordinated by the Lürssen shipyard group and is divided into different phases. The first two milestones involve mapping the material flow in order to recognize where the parts to be manufactured are located and to integrate the target data from planning. This data is then to be compared with the actual data in future milestones in order to detect deviations and adapt the planning data if necessary. The project will run until 2022. The project partners are planning to present the first interim results at COMPIT 2021.©

PROSTEP TECHDAY 2020 – online!

Thursday, September 17th, 2020

Due to the corona pandemic, we will be holding the traditional PROSTEP TECHDAY as online event this year so that customers and interested parties can find out about new products and news from our company without risk to their health. The live sessions will take place on November 17, 2020 and will be recorded. Please, save the date.

PROSTEP TECHDAY is the free forum for the PROSTEP community that takes place every two years. At the event, we regularly inform customers and other interested parties about important innovations in our range of solutions and present them with roadmaps for the further development of our software solutions OpenPDM, OpenDXM GlobalX and PDF Generator 3D. In addition, renowned users will give short presentations to the participants, explaining the benefits of our solutions in productive use.

On November 17, 2020, there will be three independent sessions, each lasting 90 minutes, so that participants will be free to choose whether to participate in one or more blocks. We will also be recording the entire event so that interested parties can watch it at a later date. The opportunity to discuss with the speakers will of course only be available when participating in a live session.

The PROSTEP TECHDAY will focus on our extended range of cloud-enabled solutions. We will explain how you can use our data exchange platform OpenDXM GlobalX with extended functions and integration solutions “On Premise” or alternatively as a SaaS (Software as a Service) model without any installation or operating costs.

We will present the newly developed MicroServices architecture of our OpenPDM platform, which supports PLM integration, migration and collaboration in a hybrid on-premise cloud environment. And we will present our solution for the automated generation of spare parts catalogs and the provision of service content on the Web. We will also give you a first insight into OpenCLM, our newly developed solution for cross-domain configuration lifecycle management and ensuring traceability in complex development projects.

New integration solutions for Dassault Systèmes customers

Tuesday, September 15th, 2020

PROSTEP offers a variety of proven integration solutions for the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. To provide Dassault Systèmes customers with even better support in integrating their heterogeneous PLM system landscapes, we are expanding our portfolio to include official integrations for 3DEXPERIENCE with Aras Innovator and Oracle Primavera P6 and we are developing new integration packages for EXALEAD.

Our OpenPDM integration platform offers the possibility of connecting any PLM and ERP systems, but also other enterprise applications via standardized connectors, to exchange and synchronize product data and structures between different system worlds. The integration modules for the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, which have been in existence for many years, can be used to exchange data with the ENOVIA, CATIA and DELMIA components. Based on this general connectivity, specific PROSTEP integration solutions from 3DEXPERIENCE with Windchill, Teamcenter and SAP have been officially released by Dassault Systèmes.

To meet the growing demand of Dassault customers for powerful integration solutions, we have now agreed with the software manufacturer to expand our range of official product solutions. 3DEXPERIENCE users can now also connect the Aras Innovator PLM solution to their PLM platform. We are also working closely with Dassault Systèmes to develop an integration solution for the Oracle Primavera P6 project and portfolio management solution, which is used by many customers, particularly in the American market.

Furthermore, PROSTEP has been cooperating with Dassault Systèmes in the EXALEAD area since the beginning of 2020 in order to be able to bring lightweight integration solutions to the market. This involves making data from third-party systems accessible to EXALEAD solutions. Together with Dassault Systèmes, special solution packages were defined for these use cases and implemented at PROSTEP, which are now available to customers.
