Engineering Data Management as an Andritz Group Solution Dr. Marcus Harrich

Graz, March 2007

Definition of PLM PLM is not a system of ist own – but a concept how to manage data in ERP, EDM and CAx-systems

PLM

SAP EDM

CAx PLM = ERP plus EDM plus CAx PLM … Product Lifecycle Management EDM … Engineering Data Management ERP … Enterprise Resource Planning

Mechanical EDM as an Andritz Group Solution Slide No 2

Storyline


Current Situation 4Today we have currently seven different EDM solutions in place 4Collaborative engineering is hardly possible 4Exchange of models and drawings is done on a basic level 4No close integration of the engineering process into the project execution world existing




Requirements: 43D CAD systems need a database driven drawing/model handling (= mechanical Engineering Data Management)  today seven different EDM systems in place 4Goal: reduce from seven different EDM systems into one EDM system (system called Matrix) 4Goal: one interface from Andritz SAP (ASAP) to Matrix, therefore aligned and integrated structures and concepts for material master, bill of material, …

 Product structure is created in R&D or design phase  Pre-engineered product models  Dimensions, parameters, rules, configuration  Visual tool is needed to keep the complex models in control  Multi site – Collaborative Design  Engineering workflows  Design anywhere and manufacturing anywhere

Master 4Materials RAW, STANDARD, CATALOG 4Master for AMC (Andritz Material Code) 4Master for AST (Andritz Standard Text) and Material Classification 4Master for material and product specific Inspection and Quality Plans




Material types MILL AREA, MAIN PROCESS, PROJECT EQUIPMENT and AUXILIARY created originally in SAP, content revised in Matrix (drawings & documents)




All logistic operations (shipping, purchasing, manufacturing)




Mass printing for BOM and Drawings during Procurement & Manufacturing




Generic project documentation, SAP DMS used directly

Benefits for the Andritz group… … by using a global Mechanical EDM…


Use of common functions (internal & external) 4 Status and release management 4 Engineering change management 4 Secured file management (Vaulting) 4 Meta data management 4 Classification




Base for all product management topics 4 Product structure management on all levels: e.g. Mill Area, Main Process & Equipment 4 Variants and alternative management 4 Version management 4 Configuration management




Migration of historical and future relevant engineering data into Matrix with low effort (avoiding costly direct migration into Group ERP)




Provision of CAD drawings and models across all engineering Andritz Group locations

… by using an integration into SAP via an interface


Link mechanical engineering with project execution 4 Engineering starts without any restrictions of logistics structures 4 Materials, drawings and BOM will be released with additional project information 4 Materials, drawings and BOM can be used directly for purchasing, manufacturing and shipping 4 Changes on released materials, drawings and BOM are linked to logistic operations via ECM/OCM loop




Within 3D CAD models a BOM in mechanical EDM and in SAP is a direct result of natural engineering work
