Development of Parts Family Manage System Based on PDM in Large-Scale Air Separation Equipment
Large-scale air separation equipment is used widely in chemical industry. It can provide oxygen, nitrogen and argon for the production process. Based on the deep analysis of the working principle and using equipment, the air separation unit product data management (PDM) system is developed by Visual Basic (VB) in this paper develops. The modularized design procedure and grouping technique (GT) are adopted in this system. The morphological matrix is used to establish their coordination relationship among parts. The system has many characters, such as perfect function, reasonable database structure, and concise software interface layout. Optimizing equipment parts management properly and effectively has important practical significance in designing the subsequent product development work and establishing concurrent design environment of the air separation unit.
