1 Use of EXPRESS Based Standards for Integration, Migration, Validation and Archival of Lifecycle Data James Martin, President Jotne North America Inc. September 11, 2013 GPDIS_2013.ppt 1

2 Agenda So many standards - The 10,000 ft view AIA Related needs for Product Support Jotne Approach to EXPRESS Based Standards What should an Data Standard Do ESPRESS, ISO, STEP APs and More Jotne s EXPRESS Data Manager Standards, Proprietary, Vendors Examples: PLM, SimDM, Open BIM, S-Series TruePLM Conclusions GPDIS_2013.ppt 2

3 Standards What is the best thing about standards? There are so many to choose from GPDIS_2013.ppt 3

4 Can there ever be enough? IGES Fading from the Scene STEP ISO, Long History, Many Protocols, AP242 PDF Core Adobe, subsets are ISO standards PRC ISO Standard for 3D PDF 3DXML Not ISO but, widely used JT World s First ISO International Standard for Viewing and Sharing Lightweight 3D Product Info U3D Managed By ECCMA, Viewing? PLCS ISO, AP239,STEP but what is a DEX? GPDIS_2013.ppt 4

5 Why we use standards, the 10,000 foot view Piecemeal Standards Based 15 custom translators for 6 systems 6 Adaptors for 6 systems GPDIS_2013.ppt 5

6 2012 AIA Product Support Conference Government entitled to Data Rights Operation, maintenance, installation, or training (other than detailed manufacturing or process data) Form, fit, or function Government may also want data For emergency repair and overhaul To support design reviews To support downstream systems To complete spares, support, upgrades, mods, and/or production GPDIS_2013.ppt 6

7 Government Benefits to Using ISO Standards Benefits Reduce cost and risks of translation and formatting of acquired data Facilitate transition from contractor-managed to Government-managed data Reduce costs of managing data by using common processes, tools, and formats Challenges Specify standards on new acquisitions Pursue standards on existing programs Work with solution providers and industry to accelerate adoption of standards GPDIS_2013.ppt 7

8 Industry Benefits to Using ISO Standards Benefits Save money on content recreation and maintenance through re-use Provide a better solution to consumers (e.g., data, integrated data environments) Standardized internal tools and processes for configuration management of data Challenges Incorporate standards as part of internal operations Work with solution providers and government to accelerate adoption of standards GPDIS_2013.ppt 8

9 EXPRESS Underpinning STEP International Standards Organization TC184/SC4 Work Item STEP - Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data ISO EXPRESS language reference manual ISO /209/214/ EXPRESS schemas in Application Protocols All in open standards! GPDIS_2013.ppt 9

10 EXPRESS ISO, Structured, Consistent Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data ISO TC184/SC4: Work items Data quality - ISO 8000 STEP - ISO PartLib - ISO Mandate - ISO Oil & Gas - ISO IFC (B&C) - ISO Integration - ISO GPDIS_2013.ppt 10

11 Step Application Protocols Operational Support Work activities and Configuration Operating resources design requirements states define design configuration Behavior justify as-built Usage approve as-maintained schedule feedback Support facilities personnel equipment diagnostic s AP239, Product lifecycle support Reference data All six pumps are the identical component in the library. When they are placed in the product model additional information is provided about the specific instance. Attribute Value FW LT Pump FW LT Pump FW LT Pump (Spare) FW HT Pump FW HT Pump FW HT Pump (Spare) Equipment: Pump Type: Vertical Centrifugal Casing: Cast Iron Impeller: Bronze Shaft: Stainless Mfg: Allweiler Marine Q: 200 m 3 /h P s bar 3 bar RPM: 1750 Power: 23 kw T MAX 250 ISO (Parts Library Exchange) ISO (Integration of life cycle data) GPDIS_2013.ppt 11

12 Key Roles for a Standard Data Exchange Data Integration GPDIS_2013.ppt 12

13 Key Roles for a Standard Information Quality Long Term Data Retention GPDIS_2013.ppt 13

14 Jotne Standards Based Exchange/Integration Simulation Data GPDIS_2013.ppt 14

15 EXPRESS Data Manager (EDM) Data modeling: Create your own data models, or use for viewing and documentation (ISO) Database Management: The ideal tool for data integration and application development projects Rule engine: Validate data sets, using your own business, knowledge rules or any other sets of rules Mapping engine: Convert to and from standard data representations and consolidate data Query engine: Store your pre-defined queries written in EXPRESS in the database Web services: For use in web server applications (thin clients) GPDIS_2013.ppt 15

16 Standards vs. Proprietary Approaches Major vendors will say, just use our stuff for everything, standards do not work, make your suppliers use XYZ, etc Standards can now handle a large portion of data that proprietary systems can create. GPDIS_2013.ppt 16

17 PLM Vender Cooperation GPDIS_2013.ppt 17

18 PTC Approach to STEP PTC to use a Jotne EDM based infrastructure for multiple Import/Export of data exchange scenarios in Windchill starting in 2014 Many of the scenarios important to interoperability are covered with this new approach. Synchronous / Asynchronous, concurrent data exchange in STEP standards supporting p21, p28 First hand EXPRESS schema support through integration of Jotne toolkit into Windchill Flexible and Extensible solution that allows a business to invest in supporting standards throughout the lifecycle of a product GPDIS_2013.ppt 18

19 Lockheed Martin F-35: Final Assembly and Check out GPDIS_2013.ppt 19

20 Lockheed Martin F-35: Connecting Multiple PLM Systems F-35 final assembly and checkout facility (FACO) is being constructed at Cameri Air Base (Novara, Piedmont) GPDIS_2013.ppt 20

21 F-35 FACO Modeling and Mapping Copyright Lockheed Martin Corporation 2012 GPDIS_2013.ppt 21

22 Notes on FACO Mapping The hard work of understanding the data structures to be communicated does not change with standards FACO partners continue with their systems of choice but can communicate and sync with Lockheed Aero New FACO Partner announced with Japan and the process starts, repeats, but is much more efficient this time as the standards based process is in place. Plugging in the pieces GPDIS_2013.ppt 22

23 buildingsmart Building Information Management GPDIS_2013.ppt 23

24 Example: Kiewit Virtual Design and Construction GPDIS_2013.ppt 24

25 AIA/ASD Suite of Standards and PLCS PDM/PLM GPDIS_2013.ppt 25

26 AIA/ASD View of the S-Series Challenge GPDIS_2013.ppt 26

27 Customer View of Wire Harness to Tech Pubs GPDIS_2013.ppt 27

28 Addressing the Tech Pubs Challenge GPDIS_2013.ppt 28

29 From the Customer mouth on using PLCS PLCS is advantageous for storing data in a known schema that can be exported and published to any needed output PLCS can be leveraged for LOTAR For data that will never be shared in other systems or delivered in multiple formats, no need for converting to the PLCS schema For product and technical data, the PLCS data format serves multiple needs for preserving data and ensuring it can be output to a number of formats over the lifecycle of the product Preserving our technical data in PLCS, a known and flexible schema, allows us to repurpose our data, export and re-use our data in ways we have not been able to achieve to date GPDIS_2013.ppt 29

30 Typical Project using Jotne s TruePLM NJORD A Subsea Manifold Systems GPDIS_2013.ppt 30

31 Product Breakdown Structure Engineering Document and data management - s as documents -Search and History Tracking -Configuration control -Dependencies / sticky notes Concurrent engineering -Project cooperation -Supply chain management -Notifications -Review capability Lifecycle support -Record data along the life cycle Interoperability -Communicate with external formats -Import/export using STEP/PLCS Archival -Retention over long periods of time GPDIS_2013.ppt 31

32 Standards Based Product and Project Information Product information -Product breakdown and change history -Documents (all submitted versions) -Metadata for breakdown elements and docs -Relationships among documents and breakdown -Baselines and states of approval Project information -Reference data: Classes and sub-classes. Properties defining the concepts used in the project such as document meta data. Tied to a GUI Interface -Milestones: What is planned -Scheduled events: Ongoing reviews, etc -Actions: To-Do lists, who, what and on which objects -Access control: who has permission to do what GPDIS_2013.ppt 32

33 TruePLM Based Project Data Management GPDIS_2013.ppt 33

34 Conclusions Be sure that a standards based approach is needed Pick the right standard for the job Make sure it can support the scenarios need such as Exchange, Integration, Validation, Archival/Handoff Integration and Project management between systems and partners via standards is a next important step Make sure your vendor understands your business scenario for needing standards support Ownership of YOUR data is a valid reason for standards Don t create more spaghetti with your solution!
