Integrated Product Data Management Based on a Uniform User Interface
Wolfram Wöß · 2000
Today many enterprises are forced to produce products which fulfill individual customer requirements. This situation results in an exploding number of variant parts of a product again resulting in a huge number of product data. To meet these new requirements, many enterprises introduced powerful CIM systems. Normally, this leaded to heterogeneous EDP concepts which are characterized by autonomous CIM components, each with its own database(s) and with a specific user interface. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
