1units per year

How to achieve harmonization of:

Lean and agile processes and

Standardization

Challenges

Highest product variety and quality of services

1 825 000 000

Processes of a individual and series production are different.

Sensortec - MEMS

Machinery Applications

Challenges

And it’s difficult to get information…from other engineering domains

about associations of components and

documents stored in several systems

about collaboration partners

Unconnected IT infrastructure

Maintenance of engineering information is highly optimized and engineers their domains.

Our strategy:Engineering product life cycle

management is the superordinate

strategic plan at Bosch to optimize PLM

processes, methods and systems in

engineering and to ensure a standardized

PLM architecture for process support.

We need something:

with a modern look & feel

easy-to-use and fast

reproducible and reliable

Our target group

How we simplify collaboration for engineers

End-users like appealing IT applications.

40 000No trainings

Now it’s easy to:

get quick access of information

visualize linked product information

improve traceability

One view for engineering information


Meta data information from several systems are linked to an engineering digital brain.

10



Now it’s easy to:

visualize collaboration partners

communicate

understand each other based on the

integrated artefact glossary

Networking engineering partners


Engineers of different domains are working together at one Bosch product.

4. How it works





How to get your information

enter all you know in simple text box

well-known facet filters

Display related information in details

view

A simple search box is enough

How it works

In which of the underlying software systems the information is stored is getting less important.

13



How to get related information:

All information about a component in

one view

End-user can easily create links across

systems.

Related product information in one application

How it works

Association knowledge is now visible across systems based on association rules.

14



ePLM Architecture

How it works

Loose coupling between native systems and search engine.

How systems interact…

Background crawler are reading meta

data from systems

Meta data is cached in search engine

CONWEAVER MISSION

2

o Develops and sells software solutions to support a proactive, collaborative Product Lifecycle

Management (PLM) process. In a heterogeneous IT-landscape CONWEAVER provides the glue

between the different application systems via automatic linking of structured data .

o For our customers this provides the capabilities

• to make data transparent across applications,

• to support targeted communication between users

• to intelligently synchronize data across applications and processes

o The CONWEAVER approach

• saves users a tremendous amount of time and customers money

• increases data quality and reduces the risk in the business processes

• allows fast implementation of solutions without change processes

o Our target customers are OEMs and first tier suppliers in the transportation market, i.e.

• automotive,

• aerospace,

• marine and railroad industries

Bottom up – keep existing

landscape as is (initially)

Agile – one single software stack to

manage complexity

Just configuration –no programming

Fast – changes/enhancements can

be implemented, visualized quickly

DIY - Customizations through

customer, no vendor dependency

USE CASE EXAMPLES

5

o Linked Data Search for PLM

• Automatically link fragmented data and

information

• One solution – multiple usages – cross discipline

• Ensure decisions – all facts at your fingertips

• Save time – drastically reduce search/transform

efforts

o BOM-Compare for OEM Collaboration

• Minimize risk by detecting and resolving

inconsistencies

• Increase data quality

• Get current project status and timely react on

changes

• Reduce manual overhead and likelihood of human

errors
