MUNICH, Germany and WESTFORD, MA – Zuken and daughter organization CIM-Team have announced the launch of E³.e-PLM - a Windows based database solution for harmonizing sub-schematics, modules or blocks for product lifecycle management. In addition to providing the architecture required for total design reuse, the integrated project management functionality is also said to simplify procurement, allowing users to generate complete project order data with one mouse click.
According to a news release, the new solution integrates Zuken’s tested and proven engineering product lifecycle management (e-PLM) environment with the longstanding E³.series technology from CIM-Team. It allows users of the E³.series electrical control system design and documentation suite to fully align and integrate with nearly all departments involved in the product lifecycle, from development through to production.
“There is an enormous amount of potential for truly optimizing electrical and electronics product lifecycle management within all of our tool environments. This is the most significant integration of software between the two organizations – Zuken and CIM-Team – and is a very significant step forward for us in terms of delivering the synergies that we promised the market following the acquisition of CIM-Team in April 2006,” said Wolfgang Heinrichs, Zuken’s e-PLM business general manager.
