  1. Model-based Industrial Data Management (IDM)EXPRESS Data Manager™ Connecting Engineers - Making data last longer and work harder

  2. The Company • EPM Technology has provided STEP (SC4) database technology since 1992 to the aerospace, automotive and defence industry. • Focus is 100% compliance to emerging industry standards and the semantics defined by product models. • One product line - the EXPRESS Data Manager™: The product is considered to be among the most functional and robust sytem for implementing SC4 standards, and has done very well in several benchmarks. • Part of IAI since 1995 - permant observer to ITM since 1999. Main focus on extensions to make a standard for the entire built environment - especially IFD (taxonomy) and IFG (GIS). • References: • Singapore e-submission and e-plan check: Model server in production • UK Taylor Woodrow: model server under implementation for FM handover • Norway • Norwegian Frigate project: model server for QA and hand-over of logistics information. • BYGGSØK e-submission: model server to be implemented in 2004/2005 • AHUS Hospital - model server implementation ongoing since spring 2004. For client briefing and design - take-off for tendering and FM. • Nyttbygg - portal for contract support and document manageement - model server for object-based construction and logistics.

  4. Model Server Features • Providing a single source of information • complete and consistent using a common language (IFC) • ownership and access rights to contractual information • partial data check-out and check-in (merge) • versioning • transparent access from heterogeneous applications and environments • mapping services • online clients communicating via transactions using API • offline clients communicating via web services - upload/download/execute query (methods) • information quality control • semantics defined by the standard • business rules defined by enterprises and projects • several levels of ambition are possible: • Primary version of data is still stored in proprietary file formats while the Model Server holds secondary versions of data. This is the recommended starting point. • Ultimately, data should be stored only in the Model Server and not in files at all. • It is probably necessary to move step by step from the above starting point to the ultimate goal.
