Equipment Management Folder / MTF Travellers

Product Data Management A huge amount of product and engineering data stored in CERN databases – Design data – Manufacturing data – Testing data etc. Tools are needed to manage these data – To enable easy and fast access to data – To ensure data consistency and accuracy etc. Increasing need for more comprehensive data management -> Product lifecycle management tools Management of product data Management of CAD-data Management of product lifecycle data

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Building an integrated Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platform at CERN Aim to link all the information related to one item/product to one common database Whole lifecycle can be followed PLM = EDMS at CERN Integration work under way CERN EDMS

An item-centric approach Idea is to link all information about a part/assembly to an item The Item will become the carrier of information and point of navigation throughout all the different project phases and different information systems used at CERN – Easier to find the information – Allows grouping of information that belongs together – May improve the workflow of approving designs 2D 3D Model Specifications CNC Item FEA

An item-centric approach All the information through the lifecycle can be monitored Item Drawings 3D Models Specifications FEA CNC Standard parts Drawings 3D Models Specifications FEA CNC Standard parts Manuf. procedures Test procedures Equipment classification Manuf. procedures Test procedures Equipment classification Installation procedures Installation drawings Safety procedures Installation procedures Installation drawings Safety procedures Material composition Recycling procedures Safety procedures Material composition Recycling procedures Safety procedures Maintenance procedures Spare part documentation & interchange- ability info.

CERN EDMS Not equal to one single system but a set of interfaced applications Links together all the applications and databases

Product lifecycle management in RF structure development

Equipment Management Folder tool A new application based on MTF Travellers Aim to retrieve up-to-date data from Cern databases and consolidate it to a user friendly form

Equipment Management Folder Two sides: Design and Manufacturing Design (items) – Item structure from CAD – Documentation & information about the items available in EDMS Manufacturing (physical equipment) – Physical equipment structure derived from EDMS – Manufacturing process and information about physical equipment in MTF
