Distribution of 3D Visualization Data for the Aftermarket - November 3rd, 2008
The webinar presents a study performed by Volvo IT Governance related to distribution and configuration of lightweight 3D geometry for aftermarket processes. The presentation will describe the proposed Information Hub concept, including some screenshots from the demonstrator created. This study is one input for the update of the Volvo PLM strategy. This presentation was originally developed for and presented at a ProSTEP iViP symposium.

Integrating PLCS and S1000D - October 15th, 2008
As part of the client's contract with one of their customers, they are obliged to deliver provisioning information according to the format MIL-STD-1388-2B. However, different pieces of the information that are required to produce such a file is created separately in different systems (PDM, LSAR, technical documentation, ERP). To manually create the MIL-STD-1388-2B file is a tedious and error prone task. This demonstration will present an approach to realizing a process where the MIL-STD-1388-2B file is created without manual re-entry of data.

Instead, the information sets originating in different systems are consolidated in an information hub, which in turn produces the desired file to be delivered to the customer. This demonstration is making use of both PLCS and S1000D and shows how these can be brought closer together and interact.

Efficient Collaborative Engineering Change Management - May 28th and October 6th, 2008
In many cases today, development of products within industries like Automotive and Aerospace is executed in a collaborative environment. A key issue in these collaborations is the management of information changes. A typical project involves a number of companies with well functioning but different internal change processes. Efficient collaboration requires that the internal processes at the participating companies can communicate in a standardized way. One initiative addressing this area is the ECM standardization work performed by the Automotive industry within VDA and SASIG. Another important initiative within the area of Collaboration was the VIVACE project performed by the European Aerospace industry.

Volvo Aero and Eurostep presented a Collaboration HUB approach to ECM based on the above at a conference earlier this year.

The webinar will present the benefits of a Hub based approach to ECM as well as an example on how such a standards based solution can be implemented using Share-A-space along with technologies like MS Sharepoint and MS Biztalk.

The PLCS Aviation Maintenance DEX - May 14th, 2008
Defence contracts are increasingly based on performance based logistics whereby the equipment manufacturer takes on responsibility for the maintenance of the equipment. In order to operate such contracts it is critical that information about the operation and maintenance of the equipment by the operator is fedback to the manufacturer.

The webinar about the Aviation Maintenance DEX describes how ISO 10303-239 PLCS can be used to exchange such feedback data through the use of the PLCS Aviation Maintenance Data Exchange Specification (DEX).

The Aviation Maintenance DEX is described and some examples of its use within the UK Ministry of Defence are dicussed.

Manufacturing Life-Cycle Management demonstration - April 9th, 2008
On the 12th of March Eurostep held a demonstration of Manufacturing Life-cycle Management as part of the STEP T24 (Manufacturing) meeting in Sweden. This demonstration will now be held as a webinar on April 9th. Once held, the webinar will be available for download at Eurostep’s website. The demonstration provides insight into the life-cycle aspect of manufacturing, presenting the benefits of having a holistic view of the product realization process.

The demonstration includes information about:
• Design of parts
• Manufactured individuals
• The process plan for the part and the actual manufacturing activity for the individual
• Type of resource specified in the process plan, and the individual resource used in the manufacturing

In addition, a zonal breakdown is used to represent the structure of the plant and the individual resources located in a particular manufacturing cell of the plant. The resources also have observed states which makes it possible to show which resources that are available when the manufacturing is ordered.

The demonstrations shows how it is possible to see for a manufactured individual:
• When it was manufactured
• What the planned and actual time for manufacturing was
• What resources were used
• What the reported deviations were
• Which resource was responsible for which deviation
