OREANDA-NEWS. January 14, 2007. From July to December 2007, IBA experts were working on the creation and implementation of an automated system based on Windchill and Pro/Engineer PTC software products. The system is intended to manage product engineering data and product lifecycle at the Belarusian joint-stock company “Peleng”, reported the press-centre of IBA.

A modern enterprise cannot function without adequate management of engineering and technological data that include 3D computer models and drawings, results of virtual and physical tests, text and graphic documents, and numerical control programs. Data are growing both in volume and complexity. As the current competitive environment places high demands on product quality, management efficiency and data control become more and more important. Consequently, the response time, number of errors, and time needed to design and automate management processes should be reduced to a minimum.

To solve the above listed problems, IBA and Peleng selected Windchill because the product meets the specifics of the client’s engineering and technology data management. Based on web technologies, the software seamlessly integrates different workbenches from remote locations in a single system, providing effective automation of product and process data management.

IBA created an automated system to manage engineering data and product lifecycle, optimized and unified the company’s business processes to develop new products, and prepared guidelines to utilize 3D design and data management software.

For JSC Peleng, this system is a good start for further streamlining of technological preproduction and production management.

The system features include:
Product composition management
Automation of product design processes
Centralized storage and management of access to design and technological documentation (archiving)
Management of distributed product development by designers and technologists
Management of work and document streams (approval routes, measurements)
Planning and management of product development projects
Automated generation of output document forms and data retrieval for CAD/CAM of the enterprise
Accumulation of intelligence and transfer of past solutions to new products
Storage of data accumulated in the entire product lifecycle, including electronic documents, 3D models, computer graphics, charts, plans, calculation data, test data, and reclamations.

The PLM/PDM system that IBA created for JSC Peleng is the first completed project of the sort in Belarus.
