Centric Software, Inc., has acquired its first African customer for its product lifecycle management (PLM) software, with Ackermans, part of the Pepkor Group of companies. The value fashion retailer will use the Centric 8 PLM software for retail, apparel, footwear, luxury and consumer goods to improve the sourcing process, implementing the software across both internal and external teams, according to Renee Jain, supply chain systems manager of Ackermans. Based in the Republic of South Africa, Ackermans chose the Centric PLM software for its ease of use and configurability, says Jain. Centric’s Agile Deployment(SM) employs a collaborative and iterative process to provide an out-of-the-box, configurable solution that avoids time-consuming customization. Configurations made to reflect a customer’s specific needs do not alter the essential code of the PLM software. Updates are simple, fast to incorporate, and often include features for new industry trends or best practices. Jain also cites the importance of Centric’s reputation, credibility and strong references in

Perception Software announces an upgrade to its industry-leading EDAConnect solutions. LibSync v. 3.4, available immediately, includes a high-performance search and discovery capability called AgileXPLORER. With this upgrade, EDAConnect now offers a closed loop engineering collaboration solution for finding, using and publishing product data.  “There is a significant need to improve the speed and facilitate the finding of product data for engineers inside of Agile PLM. More importantly, the data should be molded to their way of thinking,” said Lee Elliott, an Agile PLM consultant. “As a leader in the IT area, we want the engineers using Agile PLM as the single source of truth…this new AgileXPLORER capability makes it easy for them to do just that.” AgileXPLORER is built with engineers and product decision makers in the supply chain and product operations in mind. Putting emphasis on the quick and easy location of product data inside of Agile PLM, it not only

aPriori, a provider of enterprise product cost management solutions, today announced that its software platform has been selected by Soucy Group.  The company, which  designs and manufactures components for leading manufacturers of recreational, industrial, agricultural and defense vehicles, will use aPriori’s solution to help it respond more quickly, accurately and profitably to customer requests for quotes (RFQs).  Initially, Soucy will deploy the software in its design, manufacturing and sourcing operations in North America and China. With aPriori, Soucy expects to compress the time it takes to respond to a request for proposal (RFP) from two weeks to one day while identifying new product cost savings. Additionally, the software will enable Soucy engineers to consider additional design alternatives and their cost implications, further enhancing product innovation and quality.  By deploying a more efficient and consistent approach to product cost management, the company also expects to maximize the productivity of its staff.  “aPriori’s solution

A specialist manufacturer of form tools and components for the canning industry has reduced the time on some high precision jobs that used to take a day, down to an hour, thanks to specifically tailored Alphacam post processors driving their range of machine tools. For Tony Smyth, owner of T & G Engineering, the post processor is ‘King,’ enabling them to focus on challenging, complex and difficult-to-manufacture components, and those with extremely close tolerances which improve the finished product’s performance. “The tools we make for the canning industry are the most accurate we produce. Predominantly they’re the final components for contact tooling, which the customer uses the most. Basically, it’s anything that comes into contact with the can during its manufacturing process.” Their wide ranging canning work includes aerosols, two piece can tooling, chucks and rolls, and three piece can tooling, mostly in hard metals, A2, D2, CPMs in the mid-60s on the
