Strategic Data Management Overview Strategic Data Management goes across life cycle phases corporate hierarchies corporate boundaries Strategic Data Management consolidates information from bottom to the top of an enterprise hierarchy data which is transformed into knowledge during the process 5.10.2012 HighQSoft GmbH www.highqsoft.de 4
Strategic Data Management Today s IT Infrastructures PVM is a sublevel of PDM and defines the process of managing the test and simulation data through the entire life cycle of a product. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Product Data Management (PDM) 5.10.2012 HighQSoft GmbH www.highqsoft.de 5
Strategic Data Management Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) 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 Life Cycle PLM integrates people processes and business systems Quality/Compliance MGMT and data Requirements MGMT & Systems Engineering Manufacturing Process MGMT Maintenance & Repair Operations MGMT Sourcing & Supply Chain MGMT Application Integration (CAx, ERP, CRM, etc.) data management Document MGMT Component MGMT Configuration MGMT Classification MGMT Workflow/Process MGMT Change MGMT Portfolio MGMT Project/Resource MGMT Visualization Collaboration (Internal, Suppliers, Customers) Reporting & Analytics to provide a product information backbone for companies and their extended enterprise. 5.10.2012 HighQSoft GmbH www.highqsoft.de 6
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) includes Product Data Management (PDM) PDM is the concept to track, store, control and manage any physical data and documents of the product for subsequent product phases. 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 5.10.2012 HighQSoft GmbH www.highqsoft.de 7

Product Data Management (PDM) includes Verification & Validation Data 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 Verification & Validation Data in detail is numeric values physical dimensions time series status information measurement and simulation results 5.10.2012 HighQSoft GmbH www.highqsoft.de 9
Example for Verification & Validation Data Generation of Roadload 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 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 This knowledge repository is a PVM solution 19.08.2012 HighQSoft GmbH www.highqsoft.de 10

Single Test Stand to Enterprise Scalability Best-in-Class -Solution Flexibility with Open Interfaces 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 5.10.2012 HighQSoft GmbH www.highqsoft.de 21
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 selected. 5.10.2012 HighQSoft GmbH www.highqsoft.de 22
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 results. 5.10.2012 HighQSoft GmbH www.highqsoft.de 23
Benefits of PVM Enterprise Solution Architecture 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 19.08.2012 HighQSoft GmbH www.highqsoft.de 24
