Aerospace company Boeing is implementing enterprise data management systems for its future Commercial Airplanes and Integrated Defence System projects.
Its Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) programme is the first to implement the new system after migrating all product data from multiple legacy systems.
A single system will improve communications between the company's global offices and enable it to manage workloads within and between its programmes.
Information technology vice-president Dave Fennell says Boeing required an open, scalable platform that could be used globally to ensure to company could design and build anywhere in the world.
‘The success of our JDAM programme has shown the benefits of the open, scalable platform,’ he said.
‘With 30,000 users at Commercial Airplanes, (the success) reinforces our decision to choose UGS’ Teamcenter our enterprise data system management.’
UGS will implement Teamcenter on upcoming projects, including the Satellite Design Center in California, which will be used for all satellite programme data by the end of 2007.
Boeing is the largest manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military aircraft in the world, employing more than 150,000 people in over 67 countries.
