CAMDS China Automotive Material Data System
CAMDS key facts • Has been developed by CATARC (China Automotive Technology & Research Center) and several CN OEM • Currently only test system is available – delay of / no date for go live of productive system • Data entry screens of CAMDS is similar to IMDS • CAMDS uses different standard data (basic substances, standard materials) than IMDS • currently no interfaces to other systems (IMDS/ JAMA sheet) • No legal requirement; CN OEM will have to be contacted to get an update on reporting requirement
CAMDS Supplier Alliance • Members are companies coming from Clepa, Japia, AIAG, incl. CN colleagues of these companies (BASF, Bosch, Continental Automotive, Delphi, Denso, JCI, UAES) • Main tasks: – Get an overview about requirements from legal and customer side – Share information and results • Inside the associations • With other „stakeholders“ like JAMA and ACEA – Discuss issues of concern with related parties
CAMDS Supplier Alliance Action items • testing of CAMDS test system • Evaluation of customer requirements – Will possibly change due to delay of CAMDS go live (some of the customers announced to use alternative systems) • Several meetings with CATARC FAQ • Joint IMDS SC / CATARC / Supplier Alliance audio • We approached IMDS SC („please check reporting requirements of your CN JV partners“)
CAMDS Most critical issues • Still errors or non translated parts in the system, documentation currently only available in chinese language • 2 different systems with same aim: – Data along the supply chain might be collected in both systems (either / or – or in both parallel) – Assemblies for customers might have sub assembly data in two systems – But: currently no data transfer between IMDS and CAMDS is available – Consequence: rising cost due to redundant data entry? Interface? Intellectual property issues? • Basic substance list in CAMDS is different from IMDS/JAMA sheet • No transparency on CN OEM requirements
CAMDS issue: data transfer (example) IMDS OEM Assy 1 Assy 2 CAMDS Assy 3 ? Assy 1 Assy 3 Assy 4 ? One specific Tier 1 Several Tier n Assy 1 Assy 2 Assy 3 Assy 4
CAMDS Supplier Alliance next steps • Update on CN OEM reporting requirements • Ongoing communication / experience exchange with all stakeholders
