UGS PLM Software Offers Data Sharing Program for Automotive Industry

By DE Editors

UGS (Plano, TX) PLM Software in collaboration with HP (Palo Alto, CA) announced its new UGS Synergy program for the automotive industry.

Developed and tested on HP ProLiant servers, the UGS Synergy program provides for asynchronous design information sharing in a CAD-independent environment to OEMs and suppliers. UGS Synergy also enables suppliers to set up their own PLM environment and leverage its power to optimize the entire enterprise.

The UGS Synergy program uses its JT data format, which the company says is small in file size and protects intellectual property.

Customers can purchase UGS Synergy program components as a single appliance, including an HP ProLiant server with UGS PLM Software products, packaged and optimized for quick 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 environment, where it can be made available to the entire team.
