CATIA is the PLM/ CAD/ CAM/ CAE commercial software suite developed by Dassault Systemes and marketed world-wide by IBM. It is commonly referred to as a 3D PLM software. All stages of product development are supported, from conceptualization, through design ( CAD) and manufacturing ( CAM) until analysis ( CAE). It provides an open development architecture through interfaces which can be used to customize or develop applications. The API's are supported in Fortran and C for V4 and Visual Basic and C++ for V5. These API's are called CAA2 (or CAA V5). The CAA2 are COM based interfaces. These interfaces provide a seamless integration for products developed on the CATIA suite of software. ...more on Wikipedia about "CATIA"

Maintenance, Repair and Operations or Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO), is fixing any sort of mechanical or electrical device should it get out of order or broken (repair) as well as performing the routine actions which keep the device in working order (maintenance) or prevent trouble from arising ( preventive maintenance). ...more on Wikipedia about "Maintenance, Repair and Operations"
Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) is a collection of technology and methods used in the manufacture of products. It incorporates such technologies as computer-aided production engineering (CAPE), CAPP – (production planning), computer-aided quality assurance (CAQ), the utilization of CAD and AEC tools for factory layout and digital mockup (DMU) and simulation for assembly analysis. As the digital manufacturing part of the PLM process it is the bridge from product design to production planning and on to resource and inventory scheduling. As CAD defines what is to be made; and ERP/MRP defines when it is to be made; MPM defines how it will be made. ...more on Wikipedia about "Manufacturing Process Management"

All stages of product development are supported, from conceptualization, to design ( CAD), to analysis ( CAE), to manufacturing ( CAM). ...more on Wikipedia about "NX (Unigraphics)"
Product Data Management (PDM) is a category of computer software that aims to create an automatic link between product data and a database. The information being stored and managed (on one or more file serves) will include engineering data such as CAD models and drawing and their associated documents. The package may also include product visualization data. The central database will also manage metadata such owner of a file and release status of the components. The package will: control check-in and check-out of the product data to multi-user; carryout engineering change management and release control on all versions/issues of components in a product; build and manipulate the product structure BOM ( Bill of Materials) for assemblies; and assist in configurations management of product variants. This enables automatic reports on product costs, etc. Furthermore, PDM enables companies producing complex products to spread product data in to the entire PLM launch-process. This significantly enhances the effectiveness of the launch process. ...more on Wikipedia about "Product Data Management"
Product Lifecycle Management or PLM is a term used for the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its conception, through design and manufacture to service and disposal. PLM is a set of capabilities that enable an enterprise to effectively and efficiently innovate and manage its products and related services throughout the entire business lifecycle. It is one of the four cornerstones of a corporation's IT digital structure. All companies need to manage communications and information with its customers (CRM- Customer Relationship Management) and its suppliers (SCM- Supply chain management) and the resources within the enterprise (ERP- Enterprise resource planning). In addition, manufacturing engineering companies must also develop, describe, manage and communicate information about their products (PLM). ...more on Wikipedia about "Product Lifecycle Management"
Product and Manufacturing Information, or PMI, is used in 3D CAD and CPD systems to convey information on the design of a product’s components for manufacturing. This includes data such as Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, 3D annotation (text) and dimensions, surface finish, and material specifications. ...more on Wikipedia about "Product Manufacturing Information"
