OneSpace 2006

by PTC :: Last updated on May 22, 2006

CoCreate's OneSpace platform delivers a lean product development environment for innovative companies that must achieve speed, flexibility, and responsiveness to change. Additionally, CoCreate's platform fits within the broader enterprise with an easy to understand approach to PLM that leverages the applications installed and working today (Microsoft Office + CoCreate product suite + ERP system = PLM).

The traditional approach to product lifecycle management (PLM) requires complex systems with lengthy implementation cycles, high consulting fees, and implementation risk. The goal of PLM is right, but burdensome PLM systems work against the company's strategic objectives for lean product development processes.

CoCreate moves PLM to the next generation with an easy to understand and easy to implement approach. Rather than approach PLM with a proprietary suite of applications for the entire lifecycle, the OneSpace 2006 product suite integrates with and sits perfectly between the platforms that companies are successfully using today; Microsoft Office (for the upfront product planning period) and ERP systems (for downstream manufacturing). Industry standard Web Services seamlessly integrate all three together to achieve a complete solution.

This flexible approach, combined with CoCreate's award-winning technologies for unleashing the engineering team's lean product development capabilities, delivers a modular product development environment for companies that desire speed, flexibility, and innovation.

Key Features

  • The OneSpace product suite has three major components for product development:
  • Designer Modeling:
  • Designer Modeling is advanced 3D design software powered by Dynamic Modeling technology, a history-free approach to product development that enables companies to respond to change in real-time at any point in the design cycle. Examples include companies facing rapidly evolving product designs under time-to-market pressure, companies that leverage and repurpose existing designs on new products, and companies that embrace team design to enable multiple team members to work on the same parts.
  • Model Manager:
  • Model Manager successfully manages the creative chaos of the design phase, a task that is not possible under the transactional management style of other enterprise systems. However, when design is complete and ready to transition to manufacturing, Model Manager seamlessly shares data to downstream manufacturing systems leveraging XML and Web services technologies.
  • We also offer an out of the box integration to mySAP PLM to simplify this process of sharing data.
  • OneSpace.net:
  • OneSpace.net offers a complete environment for collaborative product development. It was created specifically for engineers that are challenged with designing products across locations and companies. Additionally, the product fulfills all the different forms of collaboration, which include real-time design reviews, offline sharing of data and project files and 2D/3D design visualization.
