The Research Of PDM System Based On Pro/Ⅰ For Petroleum Equipment Manufacturing Enterprises

In china, petroleum equipment manufacturing enterprises(PEME) have used many kinds of computer systems(CAD/CAM/CAPP/ERP), but, there is no integration of information, this leads many alone information islands, information could not be transferred and shared, the benefits that come from the computer systems are limited. At the same time, with the development of business and markets, the categories of products vary. The designing, manufacturing and management data becomes more and more, it leads to the redundancy of data and the disorder of managements. Fortunately, the PDM system could solve the problem. The basal theory of PDM is to connect alone CAX islands together, use computer systems to control the developing and designing process of the products. It can come up with the whole-detailed products and producing process descriptions, as well as the producing process controlling data. Through the effective information integration, the PDM system could control the complicated digital information effectually and completely from the beginning of plan to the end of product at the real time. It helps the enterprises to gain the goals of increasing developing efficiency and products' qualities.The main aim of the paper is to establish a project of PDM based on Pro/I for petroleum equipment manufacturing enterprises which is suitable to be generalized and applied. The project has the high pertinency and feasibility. It can help the enterprises to manage and search the products data effectively, it also can enable different systems to share the information. the main content of the research including(1) The analysis of the need of PEME for PDM system. The paper will investigate and analyze the goal and scope of PEME to actualize the PDM system, determine the certain functions and modules.(2)The systematic structure design and selection of PDM system for PEME. The paper will finish the establishment of the module, systematic structure design and system customization of PDM system for PEME, based on these works, select the proper PDM product.(3)The referenced module and scheme of the PDM system based on Pro/I. According to the actual situation of PEME, the paper will give a specific definition of the working content, emphases, directive concept and future result, then come up with the proper steps and plan of PDM based on Pro/I for PEME.(4)The using method of Pro/I based on the rollerbit PDM system. The paper introduces the software from the installation, setting to the detail operations, Users can easily learn how to use it by the samples in the paper.(5)The pivotal technologies of PDM system for PEME. The paper will discuss the customized re-development of PDM system, including the customization of functions, integrated interfaces, and so on.In conclusion, oriented the using of IT, the paper proffers the information integration of the architecture, functional model and key technologies of PDM based on Pro/I for PEME. It also discusses the importance and availability of utilizing information in PEME of China. This has referenced value for PEME and will help them to solve the informationazition problems and improve the competition.
