What is Resource Manager?

Resource Manager lets NC programmers, process planners, and tool designers store, modify, retrieve, and manage resource data to create:

• Fixture assemblies, machine setups, and NC programs for machine tools, robots, and measuring devices.

• Tool assemblies that combine machine tools and robots with their devices.

• Setup sheets for the complete operation.

Resource data can include classification information, Teamcenter items, and additional data such as associated imported files and links to context information. You define the data using hierarchically organized class definitions. Each class defines a set of values, or attributes, that typically specify characteristics of an object.

Example

The diameter, weight, and length of a tool.

Use class hierarchies to organize and search for your resources as a hierarchically organized collection that is independent of product structure.

Basic concepts

Use Resource Manager to:

• View resource components and their associated attributes using a variety of views or perspectives.

• Create detailed classification structures of manufacturing data such as tools, machines, fixtures, assemblies, and components.

• Create structured resource assemblies used in your manufacturing tasks, propagate component attributes to your resource assembly, assign workflows to resources, and attach notes and graphics to resources.

• Classify and search for resource assemblies and resources using the Teamcenter quick search, Object ID search, or Classification Search Dialog.

• Create and edit manufacturing documentation to support rich work instructions and collaboration between departments.
