This project demonstrates the use of the Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS) standard in a practical software implementation. It provides example code and documentation to help users understand how to model, manage, and exchange product lifecycle information using PLCS concepts.
PLCS (ISO 10303-239) is an international standard for representing and exchanging product lifecycle support information. It defines a comprehensive data model for capturing information about products throughout their lifecycle, including design, manufacturing, operation, maintenance, and disposal. PLCS enables interoperability between different systems and organizations by providing a common language for product data exchange.
Key features of PLCS:
- Standardized data model for product lifecycle information
- Support for configuration management, maintenance, and logistics
- Facilitates integration across supply chains and organizations
The code in this repository provides:
- Data models representing core PLCS entities (such as Product, Configuration, and Support Tasks)
- Example scripts for creating, manipulating, and exporting PLCS-compliant data
- Utilities for importing/exporting data in standard formats (e.g., STEP, XML)
- Sample data and usage scenarios to illustrate typical PLCS workflows
The main components are organized as follows:
org/oasis_open/plcs/: Core PLCS data model and logicmain.py: Example entry point for running PLCS scenariosplcs_factory.py: Factory utilities for creating PLCS objectsgenerate_plcs.sh: Script for generating PLCS data
- Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (or compatible Linux environment)
- Python 3.10+
