At a panel led by the NIST researcher at this year's IPC APEX conference, company representatives discussed how they are now building these new standards, including the IPC Product Data eXchange (PDX) suite and a number of RosettaNet Partner Interface Process (PIP) specifications into their outsourcing strategy.
STEP-NC is an extension of the Standard for Product Data Exchange that annotates the ISO standard for CAD design data with manufacturing information for CNC systems.
The National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (NEMI, Herndon, VA) announced that IPC (Northbrook, IL) has published final specifications for three Product Data eXchange (PDX) standards developed by NEMI's Virtual Factory Information Interchange Project (VFIIP).
The so-called Product Data eXchange (or PDX) suite of specifications was developed by the Virtual Factory Information Interchange Project (VEIIP), an effort organized by the National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (NEMI) and led by NIST and two private companies.
It is obvious they understand the issues associated with industry product data exchange and have the best solutions available to manage the data certification program.
Finally, Spanning the Virtual Factory: Managing Supply Chain Communications (free forum F11) will demonstrate OEM/EMS collaboration using the IPC Product Data eXchange (PDX) standards in conjunction with RosettaNet manufacturing Partner Interface Process(R) (PIP(R)) specifications, all of which were initiated via an IPC/NEMI partnership.
Theorem was formed with the mission of developing application programs to solve the problem of Product Data Exchange using both Direct Database conversion -- cadverter and International Standards based conversion methods -- STEP, the goal being to significantly improve the ease and quality of Product Data Exchange for CAD/CAM users.
Theorem's focus is to develop programs to solve the problem of Product Data Exchange using both Direct Database conversion and International Standards based conversion methods, with the goal being to significantly improve the ease and quality of Product Data Exchange.
