Strategic Data Management
Strategic Data Management goes across…
• life cycle phases
• corporate hierarchies • corporate boundaries
Overview
Strategic Data Management consolidates…
• information from bottom to the top of an enterprise hierarchy
• data which is transformed into knowledge during the process

Strategic Data Management
PLM is the process of managing the entire life-cycle
of a product from its conception, through its design and manufacture, to its service and disposal.
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
PLM integrates
• people
• processes and • business systems • …and data
to provide a product information backbone for companies and their extended enterprise.

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
PDM is the concept to track, store, control and
manage any physical data and documents of the product for subsequent product phases.
includes Product Data Management (PDM)
The data stored and being available for exchange usually involves:
• specifications for development and manufacturing • part lists of the product
• technical specifications of the product • types of materials required for production • verification & validation data

Verification & Validation Data in detail is…
• numeric values
• physical dimensions • time series
• status information
• measurement and simulation results
Product Data Management (PDM)
Verification & Validation Data generally is…
• test automation information
• test procedure configurations of a test control system • descriptive data (test equipment and unit under test) • measurements and simulation data
Example for Verification & Validation Data
In order to reduce fuel consumption, the vehicle is subject to field testing
• 50 cars drive 10 hours a day
• Common data profiles (e.g. fuel consumption) • Car specific data profiles (noise, temperature) • Each car has 10-30 measurement channels ▸
▸▸
▸ Each channel records one value per second
Generation of Roadload Data
Each night, the data is sent to IT via phone or internet to be integrated into a knowledge repository
• Flexibility of the data base is mandatory • Consolidation of the data in the process
• Provision of comparable measurement information ▸

Objectives of PVM
Avalon ODS Server & PVMsys ODS Web-Server
Standardization with ASAM ODS
• Interoperability with one framework
• Integration of test stands/vehicles as well as
suppliers
• Independence of single sources
„Self Service“ through standardization
Design of an individual enterprise architecture solution to maintain a full knowledge repository in your organization – accessible by anybody,
anytime, anywhere.
• Single Test Stand to Enterprise Scalability
Benefits of PVM
e.g.: Efficiency in validation task execution
Time Lost is data analysis due to different data formats – test data collection is the job of automation system. Once the data is collected it has to be
prepared for analysis which is the most time consuming and non-productive task.
Examples:
• Durability test reports:
Presently creating reports takes weeks which can be reduced to only days.
• Analysis Tool Integration:
Various tools require various data formats. Since the PVM solution is based on international standards, any tool complying to the standard can be
Benefits of PVM
e.g. Time lost in test preparation
Since there is no knowledge repository, every time a test is to be conducted, a complete test preparation including test sequence preparation, engine
information etc. has to be arranged manually. Example:
• Test preparation and data analysis work can be done outside of the test
facility, which ultimately improves asset utilization.
• Time lost due to retest – If the results of already conducted tests are found
in the knowledge repository an additional retest is not required.
• Integration of simulation data (for analysis) in order to improve testing
•
Increase of Engineers Productive Time
•
Increases of Interoperability between Departments
•
Visibility and more accountability of required Information
•
Protection against Liability Threats (Traceability)
•
Swift Return of Investment
•
Reduction of Time to Market
Benefits of PVM
•
PVM is a sublevel to existing PDM solutions
•
PVM describes micro level data, e.g. time series
•
PVMsys offers an Enterprise Solution Architecture based on an
ODS data base
•
PVMsys is an ODS Web-Server Client offering
• Single Test Stand to Enterprise Integration Scalability
• „Best-in-Class“-Solution Flexibility with Open Interfaces
• Independence of Single Sources
• Multithreading and Outsourced Services Performance
• Scalability, Flexibility, Performance
