The hardware and software architecture of PLM systems lends itself extremely well to distributed automation and object reusability—a feature not extensively found in current PLM systems. A method is proposed for object reusability through leveraging PLM data structures. This method greatly facilitates development in areas such as design automation and optimization that companies are finding difficult to integrate with PLM systems.  \nBenefits of the methodology are increased speed, better communication and collaboration, smoother release changes, and many more.

INTRODUCTION  \nEver since the advent of commercial CAD systems in the late 60’s and early 70’s companies have been searching for data management tools that would manage a product from its earliest conceptual designs through its years of engineering change and through its eventual retirement and death. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems have come about to satisfy some of the difficulties in managing an entire product life cycle. They are powerful tools for business organization, collaboration, and management. Business needs and customer demands are driving product requirements to high levels in many areas, which in turn require object reusability, automated design, and optimization—concepts ironically foreign to current PLM software. The irony is that the architecture of PLM hardware and software is perfectly suited to this type of computing.  \nThis research lays a foundation that enables object reuse and automation within a PLM system. Object reusability is defined in this paper as the degree to which existing objects (viz. any data, knowledge, or task in an engineering process) to be retrieved and directly used. Also, automation is defined as the automatic running a sequence of tasks performed in an engineering product design process. Discussed in this paper is the methodology that has been developed, a prototype based on this method, and a simple use case.  \nThe methodology uses parametric data management inside existing PLM tools in order to facilitate object reuse and automation. Today’s PLM systems use a central database and client/server configuration, which makes leveraging the PLM architecture a natural consideration for capturing many advanced distributed computing features such as security, business-to-business networking, multiple platforms, process dashboard, access control lists, and more.  \nA prototype engineering framework was implemented as standard API customizations and extensions to Teamcenter Engineering—a popular PLM tool. The added functionality was built into the existing workflow framework as a set of action handlers associated with process tasks. This also allows one to leverage the change management system native to Teamcenter. The proof-of-concept system was developed by the authors in a few short weeks and on limited funding. Even so, it demonstrates the same advanced core capabilities as multi-million dollar commercial automation  \nComputer-Aided Desi","cbCaip5tAjzlJNqA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip5tAjzlJNqA","pdf",489384,9,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Object reusability and automation definitions\n## Parametric data management within PLM tools\n## Prototype implementation and use case overview","[{\"question\":\"Why are additional add-ons or customization needed for PLM systems?\",\"answer\":\"PLM systems are increasingly used, but they are not standard equipped to meet the diverse needs of every company.
