Emerson Motor Technologies Purchases Solid Edge from EDS Ease-of-use,
reduced costs and meeting new corporate e-engineering initiative
cited in selection
PLANO, Texas - EDS today announced the selection of its Solid
Edge Ò computer-aided design (CAD) software by Emerson Motor
Technologies, a business unit of St. Louis-based Emerson.
Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Emerson Motors purchased 34 licenses of Solid Edge as part
of a corporate-wide effort to streamline technology deployment
across Emerson's worldwide footprint and boost productivity.
Emerson cited ease-of-use and low cost of ownership as critical
factors in its choice of Solid Edge.
"We
are adopting Solid Edge as a means to consolidate CAD resources,
reduce costs and enhance design capability," said Ted
Peachee, chief technology officer for Emerson Motor Technologies.
"Implementing Solid Edge carries additional benefits
because it is either already in use or being adopted across
other Emerson divisions. For example, in a case where a sister
company is using our motors, the ability to transfer Solid
Edge design files back and forth provides significant advantage."
Among other Emerson divisions using Solid Edge are Liebert,
Buehler, Ridge Tool Company, White-Rodgers and Therm-O-Disc.
Emerson Motor Technologies plans to use Solid Edge at sites
in the United States, Mexico and China.
In April, EDS announced that Emerson had selected Solid Edge
for CAD and TeamcenterÔ product lifecycle management software
as part of the company's global e-engineering initiative designed
to implement common technologies across the company. The selection
followed a comprehensive, year-long evaluation of multiple
systems. The cross-divisional selection team's goal was to
leverage Emerson's global engineering resources to provide
such benefits as increased productivity, reduced time-to-market
and enhance processes in Emerson's engineering services organization.
