WESTFORD, MA. & WAKEFIELD, MA – PLM provider MatrixOne and RuleStream Corp., provider of rules-driven product management (RPM) solutions, have integrated the companies' flagship products as part of an ongoing implementation at The Babcock & Wilcox Co. (B&W).
 
B&W, a subsidiary of McDermott International, provides products and services to the power generation industry. The integration of RPM, PLM and MCAD systems allows B&W to use existing knowledge to create and manage raw material items, and provides thousands of possible part/spec combinations.
 
"Leading manufacturers are already shortening engineering time through process improvement supported by new rules-driven software," said Marc Halpern, research director at industry analyst firm Gartner. "In the future, the integration between PDM and the rules engine will allow innovative new products to be designed with CAD models using PDM-controlled parts and items that are based on specifications and the context of use. This will streamline the generation of project proposals, make estimates of project costs more accurate and maximize part reuse."
 
Engineers will be able to review their custom engineering designs, incorporate engineering changes--even those with complicated design dependencies--and ensure up-to-date product information from their MatrixOne PLM system and SolidWorks MCAD models.
