Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS) ISO 10303-239
                      • A joint industry and government initiative to
                        accelerate development of new standards for
                        product support information
                      • An international project to produce an
                        approved ISO standard within 4 years
                          • Commenced November 1999
                          • PLCS, Inc. closed down late 2004
                          • Standard published by ISO in 2005
                          • Edition 2 published in 2012

                      • PLCS will ensure support information is
                        aligned to the evolving product definition over
                        the entire life cycle
                      • PLCS extends ISO 10303 STEP - the STandard

PLCSlib - see http://www.plcs.org/plcslib/plcslib/
 • Like DEXlib but driven from SysML models         • PLCS PSM
 • Starting point was translation into SysML from    • Decided to create a single XML schema
   Express                                            • Contrast with one per DEX
 • Some model revision to make implementation        • Works with current XML tools
   easier
                                                     • Much smaller file sizes
 • Initial harmonization with AP242 performed
                                                     • Greater use of encapsulation
 • Support for DEX definition using SysML with
   computer sensible mappings described via
   parametric diagrams
 • Tools ensure conformance to the underlying
   model
 • More help and background information
 • Snap shot of PLCSlib published as the OASIS
   PLCS TC Committee specification

Business cases
Why use PLCS now?

                    2018 © Eurostep Group
There are many potential business cases for using PLCS
• Standard information interfaces for contracting

• Maintaining an Assured Product and Support Information set

• Information integration/linking across disciplines/areas/tools

• Digital Thread (including Digital Twins)

• Collaboration Hub core model (Eurostep)

                                                                   2018 © Eurostep Group
Standard information interfaces for contracting
• The problem scenario:                                       • The objective
 • Defence systems come with their own IT                      • Suppliers use an information delivery
                                                                 mechanism defined on the basis of a standard
 • Data needed for operations is locked into that
   IT                                                          • All suppliers of equivalent systems are treated
  • And may never be available for Defence organization use      the same and subject to the same contracted

  This is the approach being taken by Sweden’s FMV and France’s DGA, using PLCS DEXs to contract.
               It has also been used between Norway’s NDLO and BAE Systems Hagglunds.

What is the Digital Thread
• The digital thread refers to the communication framework that allows
  a connected data flow and integrated view of the asset’s data
  throughout its lifecycle across traditionally siloed functional
  perspectives.

• The digital twin refers to a digital model of a particular asset that
  includes design specifications and engineering models describing its
  geometry, materials, components and behavior. More important, it also
  includes the as-built and operational data unique to the specific
  physical asset that it represents.
 • For example, for an aircraft, the digital twin would be identified to the physical product unit
   identifier which is referred to as the tail number. The data in the digital twin of an aircraft
   includes things like specific geometry extracted from aircraft 3D models, aerodynamic
   models, engineering changes cut in during the production cycle, material properties,
   inspection, operation and maintenance data, aerodynamic models, and any deviations from
   the original design specifications approved due to issues and work-arounds on the specific
   product unit.

Needed for a Digital Thread
• Distinguish between designs and actuals (individuals).
• Different BOM views (such as as-designed, as-manufactured and as-
  maintained) of a product, including the actuals, and link/trace between them.
• Different breakdown views (such as physical and functional breakdowns) of a
  product and link between them and to different BOM views.
• Different properties and record their values over time or against different
  views.
• Requirements, their allocation, tracing, Verification and Validation.
• Recording of processes and other actions applied to the product (or done by
  the product).
• Handling subsidiary products such as tools and equipment and their use and
  properties.
• Associated documents and other information, such as CAD and simulation
  models, related to the product and any subsidiary products.

Conclusions
• The core data model within PLCS has stood the test of time and been
  successfully applied beyond its original domain

• The need for a standard like PLCS is becoming clearer as the push for
  the digital thread grows

• PLCS provides the life-cycle view that many existing standards lack
 • And can be used with alongside those standards to add history capabilities
