Re: [PSES] RoHS Software Tools?

Mon, 06 Jan 2014 12:43:58 -0800

I guess the first place I would look is your current PDM database vendor (e.g. Oracle, SAP) or your PDM front-end vendor (e.g. Agile) to see if their existing offerings do what you want or can be customized to give you what you want.  This would probably be the cleanest approach and keep all your data together without messing around with more vendors than you already have to deal with.  If you have an advanced enough IT department they may have the capability to do some customizing of your PDM system to add data fields and reports.
 
There are vendors that provide RoHS and similar services and databases (e.g. IHS, TotalParts, TUV) but they vary in complexity of exchanging data back and forth between your existing PDM system and their databases and their easiest path is usually using their web-based interface with a subset of your data in the cloud.  Keeping that synced up can be easy or hard depending on your PDM system and local IT expertise.
 
Good luck!

Happy New Year!!!

 

My boss is looking for help and advice. He is in charge of tracking RoHS, Reach, County of Origin, etc. status on all components and assemblies our company deals with. He wonders if there is a Turn-Key software program or database system that is geared toward tracking this kind of information.  He feels to do a “thorough job” with RoHS, he needs to track the composition of every component.

 

Any suggestions? What does your company use? Is my boss making more work for himself than he needs to (he does that)??

 

Thanks in advance.
