ECCMA Coding Concept Explanation & Value Proposition

What is ECCMA Coding? A standardised, structured coding system that will uniquely identify items by their specific properties

How Does it Work? Current Catalogues consist of a list of numbers (stock code) and descriptions ECCMA coding converts the existing catalogue into a database Converting the existing catalogue into such a format involves 4 Steps: 1.Classification 2.Identification Guide Selection and Commercialization 3.Value Extraction 4.Content Enrichment

Step 1 - Classification What is the item in question? ECCMA identifies items based on the principle of a noun and a qualifier (to more accurately describe the noun). In this case: Bearing: Ball; Annular ECCMA Concept Identifier:

Step 2 – Identification Guide Commercialization What do I need to know about this bearing in order to buy it? Bearing: Ball; Annular Inner Diameter Outer Diameter Width # Rows Sealing Type Load Rating Speed Rating Commercialized Template

Step 3 – Value Extraction What do I already know about this item from my current catalogue/code? Current Description BEARING SKF MM BORE 180MM O/D 41MM W.REF.SKF 6317 BALL BEARINGS RADIAL RIGID TO BS 292 PART SINGLE ROW OPEN TYPE MEDIUM SERIES WITH Brand & Part #Internal Diameter External Diameter Width # of Rows Sealed/Non Sealed

Step 3 – Value Extraction What do I already know about this item from my current catalogue/code? Bearing: Ball; Annular Inner Diameter85mm Outer Diameter180mm Width41mm # Rows1 Sealing TypeOpen Load Rating??? Speed Rating??? Partially Populated Commercialized Template Missing Properties

Step 4 – Content Enrichment Populating the missing properties to complete the coding process. Bearing: Ball; Annular Inner Diameter85mm Outer Diameter180mm Width41mm # Rows1 Sealing TypeOpen Load Rating3.55KN Speed Rating5000rpm
