Harris Corporation Streamlines Manufacturing Assembly Operations 2008-03-01 Oracle

Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, serves government, defense, and commercial markets. Harris Corporation wanted to provide product design, implementation, and testing teams with instant access to product data and information and communicate change requests and assembly instructions. The challenge was to unlock highly technical information to non-CAD users. Harris Corporation deployed AutoVue Electro-Mechanical across the government communications division for viewing and reviewing native Printed Circuit Board (PCB) schematics and layouts, as well as manufacturing documents and provided 60 employees with instant Web-based access to product information and data.

Establishing Regulatory Compliance in the Medical Device Industry 2007-10-01 Siemens

The public health community and its providers are continually improving their ability to deliver new procedures, treatments, diagnostic methods and preventive practices. Breakthrough advances by medical device companies have facilitated both earlier disease detection and better long term healthcare. However, productivity within the medical device industry has been inhibited by the complexity of today's health and safety regulations - and the cost and time required to comply with their associated regulatory approval processes. New initiatives must be made available to help medical device companies focus more of their resources on new product development and less on regulatory compliance.

Leading the Way in the Development of a Cost-Effective, High-Performance Jet 2007-10-01 Siemens

Aviation Technology Group wanted to create a civilian aircraft that performs like a military fighter. Keep the cost of the plane as low as possible and obtain FAA certification. One of the main challenges facing ATG has been coordinating development efforts with its global supplier base. ATG chose the Teamcenter digital lifecycle management solution from Siemens PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) Software as its PLM system. Teamcenter software provides ATG with a single source of product and process knowledge that allows in-house designers, analysts, managers and the procurement team as well as external suppliers and the FAA to access the design and related product information.

Alfa Laval Speeds Time-to-Market Through Global Product Development 2007-10-01 Siemens

Geographic distances among employees used to delay the product development process. Alfa Laval wanted to turn its globally dispersed workforce into a competitive advantage. Siemens created a unified design department working from Denmark, the United States and England. One of the advantages of Teamcenter is that Alfa Laval can now practice true concurrent engineering across its three global sites. Even better, the company can now make the global distribution of its design team work in its favor instead of as a disadvantage.

Virtual Product Simulator (VPS) 2007-10-01 Fujitsu

The manufacturing industry is increasingly requested to improve reliability, shorten development periods, and reduce development costs in all phases from concept to design and manufacturing. To fulfill these requests, there is a pressing need to promote manufacturing efficiency through the extensive use of Information Technology (IT). The Virtual Product Simulator (VPS) developed by Fujitsu over a 10-year period is demonstrating its advanced capabilities on various manufacturing worksites in combination with the proliferation of 3D-CAD systems. VPS is based on simulation technologies researched for many years by Fujitsu Laboratories. This paper describes VPS in terms of its background to development, the functions supported, typical examples of application, and future possibilities.
