Product Lifecycle Management PALL Corporation Pall simplifies design processes with CATIA V 5 § Customer Background • • Founded in 1946 in New York; now a multinational corporation employing 10, 000 worldwide Experts in the design and manufacture of specialist filtration, separation and purification equipment for a broad range of industries • • • Provide cutting-edge design capability Simplify system management Enhance collaboration § Solution Implementation • • CATIA V 5 (migration from V 4 in January 2002) Generative Shape Design for hybrid modeling and Generative Shape Drafting and V 4 integration Sheet Metal Design 2, Structural Analysis 2, Electrical Systems Definition 2, Systems Routing 2 and the STEP interface IBM BCS assisted with migration § Benefits of the Solution • • • Windows platform saved costs on hardware and simplified system management Ability to work in both CATIA V 4 and V 5 allows Pall to share data seamlessly with customers Streamlines and simplifies product design Easier surfacing in V 5 Catalog feature allows for parametised parts list Pre-design validation reduces laboratory testing © 2003 IBM Corporation § Business Challenges

Product Lifecycle Management PALL Corporation Pall’s Portsmouth, UK design centre migrated 40 seats of CATIA V 4 to CATIA V 5, running on a Windows platform. Pall Corporation specialises in the manufacture of specialty filtration products for a range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, food and beverage, medical and water treatment. The Portsmouth, UK site focuses on filtration down to 1 micron for the industrial, defence, aerospace and automotive markets. § The Challenge Pall needed to upgrade CATIA V 4 to ensure its ability to collaborate fully with its customers, many of whom were using CATIA V 5. Pall, however, sought a system that would run in a Windows platform in order to cut hardware costs and simplify system management. § The Solution The company’s Portsmouth, UK site upgraded 40 seats of CATIA V 4 to V 5 in January 2002. Pall utilizes the Generative Shape Design, Generative Shape Drafting, Sheet Metal Design 2, Structural Analysis 2, Electrical Systems Functional Definition 2, Systems Routing 2, and the STEP interface modules. IBM BCS (Business Consulting Services) has helped Pall with the migration from V 4 to V 5, providing training and support. § The Customer Benefits The ability to work with both CATIA V 4 and V 5 allows Pall to share design data seamlessly with its customers regardless of the CATIA version they are using. The development process has been streamlined through the use of Version 5’s feature-based design, cataloguing and surfacing capabilities. “The pre-design validation in CATIA reduces laboratory testing and allows us to get it right the first time. ” – David Huggett, Engineering Director, Pall Machinery and Equipment, Portsmouth © 2003 IBM Corporation § The Industry

Product Lifecycle Management PALL Corporation CATIA V 5 simplifies design process and speeds development at Pall Corporation designs and manufactures specialised filtration, separation and purification equipment for a broad range of industries. Its Portsmouth, UK site designs products for removing contaminants down to 1 micron in size for use in industrial, defence, aerospace and automotive applications. Designing custom filtration products requires close collaboration with Pall’s customers and with its own manufacturing sites across the globe. The Portsmouth site needed to upgrade its existing CATIA V 4 system, but sought a solution that would save on hardware costs by functioning in a Windows environment and ease system management. In January 2002, the site migrated to CATIA V 5. “We want to be cutting-edge with our design capability, so our intention is to expand CATIA V 5’s use further into the Pall Corporation. ” David Huggett, Engineering Director, Pall Machinery and Equipment, Portsmouth © 2003 IBM Corporation Specialized products require close design collaboration
