Development of Electrical Systems Necessitates Standards: CIM-TEAM becomes member of ProSTEP iViP Association
CIM-TEAM Technische Informatik GmbH is the latest member to join the ProSTEP iViP Association. CIM-TEAM is a proponent of the development of standards for the exchange of electrological data with focus on the automotive industry and vehicle construction. As one of the leading providers of E-CAE systems, CIM-TEAM offers a wealth of experienced gained in a wide variety of different areas within the industry. The ProSTEP iViP Association provides the ideal platform for developing and harmonizing international product standards.
CIM-TEAM will contribute to the work performed by the Association within the framework of the ECAD Implementor Forum, where contributions to the ISO 10303 STEP AP212 standard for the design of electronic systems and wiring harnesses are drawn up.
Ulrich Prottung, the product manager for E³.cable at CIM-TEAM, has the following to say: "As far as our company and our products are concerned, an open standard provides a means of making E³.cable design data available for integrating the various design tools in the development process and for incorporation in manufacturing. AP212/KBL (harness description list) is the standard we use today for wire harness development."
"The widespread use of AP212 among our customers in the transportation industry (automobiles, commercial vehicles, trains and airplanes) and the content, which covers everything from the concept phase through to manufacturing, is ideal for us", says Joachim Frank, managing director of CIM-TEAM GmbH. "We rely on standards as they save us and our customers a great deal of time and effort. We are therefore looking forward to participating in the ECAD Implementor Forum and contributing to the further development of the standard."
