Aras, Airbus and IBM to Showcase ALM-PLM Open Reference Architecture at CRYSTAL Event
Initiative Supports a Systems Engineering Approach by Enabling Interoperability Across Different Life-cycle Domains – Mechanical, Electronics and Software
ANDOVER, Mass. and Munich, Germany — Wednesday, June 15, 2016
Aras®, the next leader in enterprise Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, today announced participation in the CRYSTAL Consortium’s Final Dissemination Event in Madrid Spain on June 15-16, 2016. Together Airbus, IBM and Aras, will showcase and demonstrate the ALM-PLM Open Reference Architecture implementation. Details and registration at http://www.crystal-artemis.eu/events/final-dissemination-event.html
The CRYSTAL Consortium is composed of 68 participants from 10 European countries. Participants range from industrial partners and subject matter experts to academic partners and cover the aerospace, automotive, rail and medical industries.
The initiative supports a systems engineering approach as product complexity increases by enabling interoperability among different life-cycle domains – including mechanical, electronics, software and firmware – to improve collaboration, coordination and control without the need to replace existing legacy systems which avoids disruption and risk.
CRYSTAL builds on results of previous projects in Reference Technology Platform (RTP) and Interoperability Specifications (IOS) to enhance these capabilities for corporate use. The initiative enables loosely coupled systems, tools and platforms to interlink data and share information based on open Web standards and technologies.
