Zuken Launches E³.series Revision Management Module
18 February, 2010, Munich Germany and Westford MA, USA - In a world of constant change comes new capability for Zuken’s E³.series with E³.RevisionManagement. This new module enables users to compare and document changes between projects in the electrical engineering solution E³.series and provides reports and tracking functionality for traceability and comparability in the design of wiring, harnesses, cable assemblies and control panels. In addition to improving the efficiency of change processes, it also enables users to verify compliance with industry standards.
E³.RevisionManagement compares two versions of a project, usually the current version to a previous version, or the current version to a marked-up version. The analysis and change results are clearly identified for the user, with modifications highlighted through changed colors, in a change table, with balloon markers, and in a spreadsheet showing detailed changes including non-graphical attributes in the design. This enables users to track variations with previous designs and analyze changes suggested by reviewers of the design, making it much easier to apply the resulting ECO’s (Engineering Change Orders) for production and manufacturing of end products including machines, trains, airplanes, special vehicles and automobiles.
"This is the perfect addition to our PLM system," said Heiner Morich, Technical Project Manager from Vossloh Locomotives. "With E³.RevisionManagement, we have the ability to verify our compliance with ISO certification and rail standard DIN EN 61082.
"In particular, the generation of a detailed and complete change history for our manufacturing documentation, the automated revision of parts lists and subsequent transfer to our production system, has led to significant time and economic savings. Moreover, the number of errors has been reduced within the revision workflow and which has been further optimized using error analysis."
E³.RevisionManagement is integrated with E³.e-PLM and SAP R/3, and can also be customized to integrate with other data management solutions. This allows the user to launch E³.RevisionManagement through their PLM solution, enable the recognition of changes made between two versions of a project stored in the PLM environment, and use E³.series to display those modifications. Once complete, the output files can then be stored as part of the project history.
As each organization’s design environment is different so are their needs to document a change. E³.RevisionManagement provides the ability to configure the classifications of a change and the methods in which these changes are reported to provide the maximum amount of flexibility to the user.
