Variant Coding of Device Software Functions

Configure device settings to customize your smart products by software variant coding.

Products & assets are more and more customized via software parameters: The amount and complexity of parameterizations significantly increases.

With the increased complexity of software functions, the ability to configure software variants becomes a critical capability: Managing software variants along Engineering, Production and Service assures a high product quality and opens opportunities to sell additional functions as “Software as a Product”.

Mass Customization of Products & Assets by Configuration of software variants.

P&PM´s Device Parameter Manager enables customers to configure software functions of different complexities, ranging from an I/O Link sensor to ODX based vehicle parameters. Via its cloud services, configured settings can be provisioned to multiple downstream events during Production and Service.

Key Features

LEVERAGE PARAMETER DATA FOR VARIANT CODING

Establish full visibility of your device parameter definitions.

Import your device parameter definitions (ODX, OPC UA, IO-Link and other) and gain transparency on the effective parameterization options per software release of a device via a central, cloud based library.

OFFLINE ENGINEERING OF SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS

Configure valid settings and configure functions of your software variants in an easy way.

Bundle parameter into settings and cluster them in an effective way. Configure your settings by assigning allowed values to your parameter sets. Gain transparency on applied configurations.

Control the complexity of parameterizations and leverage the opportunities for mass customizations.

INTEGRATE WITH YOUR VARIANT MANAGEMENT

Assign valid parameter settings to your overall product variant management.

Define and publish valid settings and link them to your overall product variant handling. Steer & control the amount of variants that are implemented during production and service events.

PUBLISH TO VARIANT CODING EVENTS

Leverage capabilities of a cloud infrastructure to integrate with your operations.

Publish and use your parameter settings data in your existing PLM, ERP as well as End of Line Systems or IoT Hubs.
