UGS Announces Synergy Program for Automotive Industry
 PLANO,
Texas, June 18, 2007 - UGS PLM Software, a division of Siemens Automation
and Drives (A&D) and a leading global provider of product lifecycle
management (PLM) software and services, today in collaboration with HP,
announced its new UGS Synergy program for the automotive industry that will
revolutionize the vehicle design and manufacturing collaboration process.
The new program provides for asynchronous design information sharing in a
computer-aided-design (CAD)-independent environment. For the first time,
original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and suppliers at all levels of the
supply chain will have a single optimized process for exchanging vehicle
design and manufacturing information. UGS Synergy enables suppliers to set
up their own PLM environment and leverage its power to optimize the entire
enterprise.
“Suppliers will now have the capability to easily and securely share
information across multiple OEM program teams, develop product development
best practices across the entire company and optimize expertise and business
savvy on an enterprise-wide basis,” said Dave Shirk, executive vice
president, Global Marketing, UGS PLM Software.
The UGS Synergy program leverages its JT data format, which has emerged
as a standard for 3D visual collaboration in the automotive industry. Both
OEMs and suppliers alike use JT for a wide range of downstream applications
from purchasing to manufacturing, as it is smaller in file size and protects
intellectual property.
According to a November 2006 report, Cyon Research Corporation estimates
that if a single platform such as JT were implemented as a standard
data-transfer mechanism, automotive industry suppliers would benefit from
savings in the range of $500 million to $800 million annually.
More specifically, the report states that: “The data indicates that the
typical North American supplier would save between $500 and $1,700 per
million dollars of revenue- or, in other terms, a supplier with $1 billion
in annual revenue could save perhaps $1.7 million annually if the automotive
industry were to adopt a single platform as its sole data-transfer
standard.”
Customers will have the ability to purchase UGS Synergy program
components as a single appliance, which includes an HP ProLiant server with
UGS PLM Software products, packaged and optimized for quick and easy
implementation. UGS Synergy also includes the Exchange Manager, powered by
PROSTEP, which allows suppliers to pull the specific design context from
their customers’ managed environment and map it into the suppliers’ local
UGS Teamcenter product data management solution where it can be made
available to the entire team. Returning the suppliers’ deliverable is
equally as simple.
Developed and tested on HP ProLiant servers, the UGS Synergy program
enables an optimized design environment through a single, enterprise-wide
data management environment that unites all suppliers product information,
enforces proper part nomenclature and encourages best practice work
processes together with a single, best-in-class, latest generation design
system
