PLCS, Inc. today announced that EDS has joined the global
Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS) consortium.
PLCS is a joint industry and government initiative to
accelerate development of new standards for the exchange
of assured product and support information, i.e., the
information needed and created during the use and maintenance
of complex products.
EDS PLM Solutions delivers integrated technology and services
supporting the entire product lifecycle - from concept
and development to distribution and delivery - to the
Global 1000. EDS created its PLM Solutions line of business
in January 2002 from the former Unigraphics Solutions
Inc. (UGS) and Structural Dynamics Research Corporation
(SDRC). EDS' PLM strategy is focused on achieving new
levels of efficiency and innovation for manufacturing
companies and on meeting the needs of their respective
customers. Core to this strategy is a philosophy of open
technology and open business relationships that will set
the industry standard for PLM.
The members of PLCS, Inc. are working to produce an approved
standard based on an extension to International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) 10303 Standard for the Exchange
of Product Model Data (STEP). The major PLCS deliverable
will be a new ISO 10303 Application Protocol (AP) for
product life cycle support.
