Teamcenter uses a Classification Presentation layer to assure interoperability between the Rich Application Client and the preferable Active Workspace clients to provide users with an intuitive, visual interface that supports added features which do not exist in the Rich Application Client.Ītop the presentation layer, Teamcenter offers a Library Management layer that leverages underlying classification information and whereĬompanies can populate purpose-based collections of parts from the Classification Presentation layer based on focused business needs. Siemens Digital Industries Software’s product lifecycle management capability within their Xcelerator portfolio supports part classification in their Teamcenter solution. The implementation of an object classification and retrieval system helps reduce design and manufacturing costs by enabling previous design work and parts to be easily located and re-used. Generally, a classification system organizes objects in a logical and systematic hierarchy, whereby like objects are grouped together based on their similarities. Newer advanced classification methods can coexist with traditional basic classification procedures in the same Teamcenter instance so users can adopt Advanced Classification at their own pace.Ĭlassification is, by definition, a systematic arrangement of part models in groups or categories according to established criteria such as geometric shape or property values.Systemic robustness ensures Teamcenter can support other standards like IEC, UNSPSC, etc., in the future.Teamcenter supports the fundamental ISO/IEC standards which in turn provide support for the advanced ECLASS master data standard for part classification.The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) reduces the effort needed in assigning part classifications to product models.
