In today’s interconnected landscape, managing product data across multiple systems, partners, and suppliers is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge, especially within complex, high-stakes industries. Eurostep’s ShareAspace platform provides a powerful solution, redefining how organizations handle cross-enterprise product lifecycle management (PLM) with a game-changing approach to data sharing. Here’s a closer look at how ShareAspace shapes the future of secure collaboration, efficiency, and product-centric data management.

Why choose ShareAspace? Benefits and key features

  1. Secure product data supply chains
    At its core, ShareAspace offers a robust data security model tailored to manage sensitive information across organizations and borders. By ensuring a secure and controlled data environment, ShareAspace supports compliance needs and fortifies the integrity of the data supply chain.
  2. External partner collaboration
    Facilitating smooth interactions with partners, ShareAspace allows enterprises to engage in process-agnostic, information-centric collaboration. The platform is designed for standards-based interoperability, enabling seamless data exchanges with external entities while protecting intellectual property.
  3. A unified view of data
    ShareAspace consolidates data views from various sources, combining structured and unstructured data into a single, comprehensive repository. This centralized approach aids in ensuring product definition consistency, enhancing collaboration efficiency, and linking essential digital threads across the product lifecycle.
  4. Transitioning from document- to product-centric approaches
    As organizations move away from document-heavy practices, ShareAspace supports transitioning toward product-focused operations. By shifting focus, businesses can unlock higher efficiency, streamline decision-making, and improve the accuracy of their lifecycle data.

Managing the digital thread with ShareAspace

ShareAspace excels in managing the entire digital thread—from concept and design to manufacturing, operations, and beyond. It offers best-of-breed tool integration, allowing teams to connect their preferred systems within a single platform. This connectivity provides a holistic view of products as they progress through various stages:

  • Design and engineering: ShareAspace integrates with leading design and engineering tools to streamline collaboration, minimize redundancies, and create a single source of truth.
  • Manufacturing and build processes: Manufacturers gain a consolidated data view to coordinate with suppliers, ensuring quality and traceability.
  • Operation and maintenance: For in-service products, ShareAspace facilitates updates, maintenance histories, and operational feedback, supporting continuous improvement and operational efficiency.

Real-World success: ShareAspace in action

Eurostep’s ShareAspace is already making an impact across industries, from defence and shipbuilding to automotive manufacturing. Here are just a few examples:

  • Kongsberg: By deploying ShareAspace Server as a Configuration Management and Collaboration portal, Kongsberg has improved information delivery quality and reduced manual effort. The platform enhances partner and customer communication across product lifecycles.
  • Damen Naval: ShareAspace Design to Manufacturing helps Damen Naval enhance supplier document collaboration for ship design projects. This solution has reduced manual processing, expedited delivery times, and improved supplier communication.
  • Volvo: With ShareAspace Server as a central collaboration hub, Volvo integrates supplier data for manufacturing and aftermarket support, achieving significant reductions in lead time for spare parts catalog production.

Addressing supply chain collaboration challenges

Modern supply chains involve a complex network of partners and suppliers, each requiring access to accurate, updated product data. ShareAspace Design to Manufacturing (D2M) tackles several collaboration pain points:

  • Contextual communication: ShareAspace D2M ensures that each stakeholder receives the most relevant data and supports dynamic communication within the context of shared information.
  • Managing changes: The platform tracks changes and enables a robust feedback loop, allowing organizations to stay aligned with evolving data across multiple parties.
  • Scalable integration: Designed to manage relationships with numerous partners, ShareAspace D2M scales effortlessly, adapting to the needs of even the most intricate supply chains.

Achieving a secure, open, and assured data environment

With a focus on secure collaboration, open data, and assured information, ShareAspace supports advanced capabilities such as change management, analytics, and dashboarding. Its comprehensive architecture includes support for systems engineering, product data management, and operational insights, empowering organizations to make informed decisions quickly and confidently.

Unlocking the future of product data collaboration

ShareAspace is more than a PLM tool; it’s an enabler for cross-enterprise collaboration that fosters innovation, efficiency, and resilience.
