• CAx – PLM integration (to-be model)

• Design phase vs CAx + PLM

design/engineering & CAx + PLM features

• CAx – PLM reference architecture (as-is model)

Agenda

2

CAx: computer applications (platform: sw+hw) adopted to perform different design/ engineering activities,

examples:

CAD: computer aided design (i.e. modelling 2 or 3D, etc.)

CAE: computer aided engineering (i.e. structural, hydraulic, electric, …, calculation, etc.)

CAM/CIM: computer aided machinery/ integrated manufacturing (i.e. Product parts/ components

manufacturing automation, etc.)

Glossary

ERP: computer application adopted to manage all processes relevant to enterprise business, i.e. sales,

purchasing, logistic, planning, administration, finance, HR …, (Enterprise Resource Planning)

PLM: computer applications adopted to manage Product Data (technical, not technical) along product lifecycle

from early design & concept, through development & delivery, aftermarket maintenance, to product life end

(Product Life Cycle Management)
