• In 2007, first ever recipient of SPLM “Software Partner of the Year” award

• Deluxe PLM World partner

• Focus on supporting customers at the standardization of products and

processes

• BCT develops software for NX, Solid Edge and Teamcenter

• More than 800 customers globally use the BCT tools and services

• Many years of experience with Teamcenter Classification

• Working together with SPLM on Teamcenter Libraries over the last 2 years

Motivation for Reuse and Standardization

Huge number of components and

variants.

Capture engineering expertise, to

leverage it by other users.

Optimize classification structure to

support specific user domains and

day-to-day task activities

Challenge

Classification is an appropriate way to

get the part variety managed.

Integrate additional methods into

development processes to boost the

standardization approach.

Solution

Reduction of the number of parts.

Decreasing of cost for part administration.

Scale effects in purchasing and inventory

management.

Faster development times by reusing

existing parts.

Increase in quality and added value by

reuse of proven components.

Risk reduction by using standardized

components.

Securing of engineering knowledge.

Benefit



What is BCT aClass?

BCT aClass is an easy-to-use classification

system for the structured storage and reuse

of product data within Teamcenter

• Easily find existing data with the help of

different search strategies

• Processes to support reuse and

standardization

• Direct adding of parts, features and

materials in NX without switching

applications



Classification of Product Data



What allows classification?

Classification allows:

• The categorization of reusable components in a

folder structure

• The description of the components with

characteristics

• The simple search for reusable components

• Finding a classification structure that suits all involved is

nearly impossible

The solution: Library Management



Library Management in BCT aClass

Use BCT aClass to manage libraries for specific domains

BCT aClass is leveraging Teamcenter Library

Management capabilities on top of Teamcenter

Classification (all data persists in Teamcenter)

Basic user

• Search and browse in libraries

• Open/add library elements

Library Admin

• Manage libraries and their hierarchies

• Link classification nodes to library nodes

• Create membership rules to populate library nodes

• Add documents to libraries

• Preview pictures for library nodes and hierarchy

BCT aClass license for Library Management is free

From User Perspective

• Provide program-specific libraries e.g. only ISO Standards, etc.

Program focused classification using Libraries

• Map engineering classification hierarchy to program specific classification

Program focused classification using Libraries

• Program specific usage

of classified parts

• Automatic evaluation of

classified parts based on

program usability status



Library & Specification

Roadmap

Library Management

Build up different libraries for specific domains

Concept libraries

• Each library can be targeted at specific use

cases e.g. for different disciplines for

engineering or for program specific parts

lists

• Use membership rules to fill library

structures automatically from existing

classification hierarchy

Specification

Capture engineering knowledge from domain experts

Concept specification

• This makes it possible to bring more engineering

knowledge into the system, also to be reused from other

individuals.

• Capturing expertise e.g. technical constraints from a

domain expert

• Rules based system to encode that expertise in a way that

adds value to the user

• Should make processes more efficient and less error-

prone because the rules guide the user to valid selections

&



Reuse Opportunities with Teamcenter Libraries

Summary

Multiple libraries can be configured to meet a wide range of business needs for

different users, projects and programs (reduce to what is relevant)

Libraries promote the core benefits of a reuse and standardization strategy

Libraries leverage your existing investment in Teamcenter classification

Adopt libraries at a pace that makes sense for your business

Siemens PLM and BCT continue to improve reuse capabilities critical to PLM
