Barnett Computervision Corporation announced that Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering (VSEL), a leading U.K. ship- builder, has moved forward with its Electronic Product Definition implementation, acquiring soft- ware valued at $1.82 million from Computervision. Computervision's software will be used to help design, build and support VSEL's future products. VSEL is recognized in the ship- building industry for its Electronic Product Definition (EPD) strategy. EPD is a tool for reducing costs and time to market in complex multi-part assemblies. Using EPD, VSEL will electroni- cally define and analyze its ships, submarines and armament prod- ucts in computer software prior to manufacture. The data will then be used to support products throughout their life cycles, ensuring improved levels of quali- ty. The contract involves Computervision's CADDS' 5 total product modeling software, and Optegra enterprise data manage- ment software, Optegra Explorer and Concurrent Assembly Mock- Up (CAMU).
