Driving Standards: Remarks
Clear OEM Commitment
ProSTEP iViP :
• ISO 10303-242 (STEP AP 242)
– incl. AP 239/PLCS Harmonization
– incl. AutomationML Harmonization
Standardization for Business Success
Open standards (ISO)
•
assure reliability and stability
•
assure protection of investments (of users and vendors)
•
stimulate market situation and promote competition
•
reduce dependency on individual vendors
JT and STEP: Automotive Position
OEM Commitment to Support ISO JT Standardization (October 15th, 2010)
Mandate from German Automotive CIO, GAAG, ProSTEP iViP, VDA
•
Industry requires standard-based visualization solutions: JT 9.5
•
JT needs powerful XML-backbone: STEP
•
STEP AP 242 XML and JT will enable lightweight data exchange
– STEP AP 242 XML for assembly, meta, kinematic data etc.

ProSTEP iViP Study: Key Findings
The investigated domains of „Digital
Manufacturing“ shall be better linked with
–
–
Integrated Data Management and shared information base
Integrated processes for seamless information and
knowledge transfer
Need for action of standardization of
–
–
–
–
Exchange formats
Collaboration solutions
Easy re-usable information in other disciplines
Opportunities for cross-domain viewing of simulation results
and distribution
From the identified „Key Findings“ 31 detailed
requirements have been derived for further
analysis

Conclusions
• The bridge between Planet “Engineering” and “Production” is not build yet.
• But the key-homework is done
– We (better) understand what is needed where and when, in which quantity …
– Powerful standards exist, ready to be applied on each “planet”
• Engineering: ReqIF, STEP, JT, FMI etc.
• Production: OPC UA, AutomationML etc.
They can use each other.
• We can build deep information chains.
For gluing along the Life Cycle standards like PLCS and OSLC exist

Call for Action
• Provide Value and Visions to the Industry and to the Costumer
– Without concrete use cases you can provide everything, especially money-burner.
• Take the whole Product Life Cycle into account
– Industry 4.0 without taking Engineering into account is jumped too short
• Functionality and 70% of costs are fixed be Engineering
• Respect & Bridging needed
– Provide value & service to the Customer, incorporate maintenance, recycling etc.
• Use / Orchestrate the existing Standards
– Become active, provide your requirements, use cases, (pilot) experiences
– Think Pareto

Some Final Thoughts
• There is nothing permanent except change [Heraklit of Ephesus (540 - 480 B.C.)]
– Trying to solve new challenges with old methods may fail.
– Training and educating of people is inevitable.
• Information is the oil of the future. Let it flow!
– But do not forget to let benefit everybody equivalent. People are – per se – egoists.
• The welfare of the people should be in the foreground.
