Agenda
• Introduction Besi• Introduction USG Innotiv• Goals for Besi• Migrating issues• Customizing Workflows• Working with Asia• Results• Demo Workflow
Introduction Besi (1)
• Who is Fico ?– Fico is a product division of BE Semiconductor
Industries N.V.– Founded in 1956– In the nineties subsidiary of BE Semiconductor
Industries– Our Slogan “Good is not good enough”
Besi: From Die Sorting up to Plating
Introduction Besi (2)
Introduction Besi (3)• Where are we located ?
Introduction Besi (4)
• What products does Fico make ?• Molding machines• Trim and Form machines• Singulation machines
Introduction Besi (4)
• How do we use PTC Software at Fico?– Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0
• Top down design (Layout, skeletons, etc)• Module based configured machines
– Intralink 9.1• Datamanagement• Integration to our PLM (matrix)
Introduction USG Innotiv (1)
• USG Innotiv Product Development– Division of USG Innotiv (1500 people)– Part of USG People(20.000 people)
Development Capacity Consulting Training
Product Development
Introduction USG Innotiv (2)
• PD Consultancy & Training (services)– Market leader Benelux for services of PTC products
• Implementation• Migration• Process• Support
– Certified implementer / migrator of PTC database applications
– Certified Trainer Partner of PTC Products– Certified Service Partner in the Benelux– Pro/ENGINEER,Pro/INTRALINK, PDMLink
Goals for Fico
• One Data Management environment• Windchill platform• Supporting remote sites(Asia)• Sending data to Matrix(PLM)• Working with Intralink 9.1 should be the
same as with Intralink 3.4
One Data Management environment
• Migrating two Intralink 3.4 databases to 9.1– Molding and Trim & Form
• Challenges– More then 500 GB of Pro/ENGINEER data– More then 10.000 mapping and reordering of
subfolders– Different Revision schemes(1,2,..,A,B,..)– More then 6000 duplicates
Managing Duplicates
• What is a duplicate ?– Same Object exists in both databases– Mostly Library components (bolts,nuts,etc)
• How are duplicates handled ?– Mass rename (quick solution)– PTC’s Duplicate Object Manager
How did Fico handle duplicates?
PTC’s Duplicate Object Manager
• Tool to merge duplicates(Equal or Unequal)
• DOM equality criteria– Revisions and Criteria are the same– Dependencies are the same– Family Tables
• DOM unequality criteria– If equality criteria is not met (ex. Extra Instance of a
family table, more versions (A.2,B.1, etc)
PTC’s Duplicate Object Manager Example
Customizing Workflows
• What is a Promotion Request workflow ?• Why do we need more functionality ?• Export Released data to xml format for
Matrix Tool• What does the Matrix Tool do ?• Customized Promotion Request
– Adding extra steps– Written in Java (Windchill J2EE complaint)
Working with Asia
• Fico Tooling is moved here• Performance issues over a WAN• Replication solution
– Standard Windchill technology– Remote File server– Replicates Pro/E data to and back
• WAN optimizer (Riverbed)
Replication setup
• Based on rules– Types(ex. Documents, Pro/ENGINEER files)– Version (ex. Latest, all,etc)
• Scheduling replication• How is the data produced on a replica
send back ?
• 15 times faster with replication• Big improvements with browsing in
folders/workspaces
Performance results Replica
Results
• Succesful migration– Single Intralink 9.1 environment– All duplicated were merged– Very good adoption by Fico (custom training)
• Customizations implemented– Behaviour of Intralink 9.1 is very like the old Intralink
3.4– Sending the right info at the right time to Matrix
• Optimal performance for Asia
Live Demo Workflow
• How is custom workflow implemented ?
