Abstract/Summary: PLM(Product Lifecycle Management) is one of innovative manufacturing paradigms which leverages e-business technologies to allow a company's product content to be developed and integrated with all company business process through the extended enterprise. In order to achieve the integrate product information management with many different commercial PDM systems, it is important to define a neutral standard data file format and develop the supporting system. First, we define neutral file refers to the PLM services using XML. This provides a standard to exchange product information such as BOM and Geometry information. Then, we develop the PLM Integrator which supports data exchanges between commercial PDM systems.
