Product Data Management

The challenge to reduce costs and increase profitability in the aerospace manufacturing industry requires a decreased time-to-market and time-to-profit. Numerous studies have proven that collaborative product data management solutions meet the challenge to deliver new aircraft faster, with greater design integrity and with substantial reductions in design and manufacturing costs. Product data management solutions close the gap between the design and manufacturing processes by providing easy access and secure provisioning of design data to the tens of thousands of internal team members and external partners that must work together to design and manufacture a product as complex as an aircraft.

Luxoft has over 10 years of experience in providing collaborative product data management solutions for the aerospace manufacturing industry. We have created successful, enterprise-wide PDM platforms for the management of large volumes of product data provisioned to thousands of designers, engineers and technicians located worldwide.

• Data Access Control
  Information safety and protection is one of most important aspects for any organization. This is especially applicable for the industry aerospace where ongoing research is always focused on most advanced technology available. Aerospace manufacturing data must be securely provisioned to thousands of external suppliers and also to conform to security guidelines for government and export control regulations. Luxoft is experienced in the development of large-scale enterprise data authorization software that is capable of managing access rights for substantial volumes of design and manufacturing data for thousands of internal team members and external partners.
• Data Storage and Retrieval
  In the typical lifecycle of complex aerospace design projects, hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of engineering deliverables created in different source systems and in different formats are produced and updated daily. Design data, calculation results, part lists, engineering notes and many more artifacts must be stored securely and easily accessible to internal team members and external partners. Luxoft has experience in the development of enterprise design and manufacturing data warehouses with powerful and scalable search, retrieval and load capabilities that serve thousands of users, 24/7, all over the world.

• Data Distribution
  Complex aerospace projects involve many external suppliers who are responsible for various parts of the design. These suppliers need detailed engineering information to create their deliverables efficiently and the key to success is a powerful metadata distribution system. Luxoft makes it possible with a customized software system for effective physical and digital data distribution and supplier order management.
