Working with a consortium of industry, Government, and Standard Development Organizations, XSB developed a Model-Based approach to represent concepts buried in unstructured, non-geometric data, such as specifications, drawing notes, work instructions, etc. This approach, called SWISS® (Semantic Web for Interoperable Specifications and Standard), powers the transition from static PDF documents to digital models, capturing and bringing to life the network of concepts in technical data.
Standards in SWISS are managed as data – they can be output as a document for humans or queried through an API to link them to enterprise engineering systems such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), product models, and other machines. SWISS digital models automatically alert users when an element in an authoritative document is changed, cancelled, or superseded. The SWISS® platform also provides a framework and tools for composing and linking derivative works such as program requirements, test plans or work instructions to their authoritative, model-based sources.
SWISS smart, connected tech data provides accurate, automated documentation synchronization to eliminate a PLM pain point.
