Course detail
Control and Data Administration
FEKT-MRSDAcad. year: 2017/2018
The subject deals with present computing devices for control, organization and active administration of technical and organizational data processed in electronic form - Product Data Management systems. The subject deals with these problems on the level of projects, plants and also of outside cooperation. As model examples there are used systems PDM Works (of the firm SolidVision) and SmarTeam (of the firm SmartSolution). Practical part of teaching takes place in the environment of PDMWorks product on a model database with simulated operations.
