UGS PLM Software, a division of Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D) and a global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, in collaboration with HP, has announced its new UGS Synergy program for the automotive industry.

The new program provides for asynchronous design information sharing in a computer-aided-design (CAD)-independent environment.

"Suppliers will now have the capability to easily and securely share information across multiple Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) program teams, develop product development best practices across the entire company and optimise expertise and business savvy on an enterprise-wide basis," said Dave Shirk, Executive Vice President, Global Marketing, UGS PLM Software.

UGS Synergy enables suppliers to set up their own PLM environment and leverage its power to optimise the entire enterprise.

The UGS Synergy program leverages its JT data format, which has emerged as a standard for 3D visual collaboration in the automotive industry. Both OEMs and suppliers alike use JT for a wide range of downstream applications from purchasing to manufacturing, as it is smaller in file size and protects intellectual property.

Customers will have the ability to purchase UGS Synergy program components as a single appliance, which includes an HP ProLiant server with UGS PLM Software products, packaged and optimised for quick and easy implementation.

UGS Synergy also includes the Exchange Manager, powered by PROSTEP, which allows suppliers to pull the specific design context from their customers' managed environment and map it into the suppliers’ local UGS Teamcenter product data management solution where it can be made available to the entire team.

Developed and tested on HP ProLiant servers, the UGS Synergy program enables an optimised design environment through a single, enterprise-wide data management environment that unites all suppliers product information, enforces proper part nomenclature and encourages best practice work processes together with a single, best-in-class, latest generation design system.
