Optic and OA Product Leader Selects PTC/POAKS Solution for Complying with EU
Environmental Regulations
South Pasadena, CA - October 11, 2005 - Pacific Oaks Technology (POAKS), a
leading provider of green compliance solution, today announced that Ability
Enterprise Co., also known as Taiwan Canon - a leader in OEM/ODM optic products
such as digital camera, has deployed the Green Component Manager (GCM) as the
green compliance solution across its enterprise in meeting the compliance
requirements of several EU environmental directives such as RoHS, Packaging and
Packaging Waste, and Batteries and Accumulators.
As an existing customer of Windchill system from Parametric Technology Corp.
(PTC), Ability Enterprise selects GCM from POAKS as the green compliance solution
and integrates GCM with Windchill through PTC's consulting services. "GCM is truly
the green compliance management tool that could quickly establish the corporate
internal component material database and report the compliance status for each
component inside the BOM for EU's regulations such as RoHS, Packaging and
Packaging Waste, and Batteries and Accumulators, and also the customer-specific
requirements such as Sony ss00259 or Motorola W18.", said Falcon Uang, Senior
Technical Consultant at PTC Taiwan, "GCM's web service interface gives us the ability
to quickly integrate the data path between Windchill and GCM. The user could view
the product BOM from Windchill and realize the compliance status of each component
inside the BOM from GCM."
"GCM's ability of handling the same BOM in multiple locations enables Ability
Enterprise to view the compliance status of the 2nd source parts inside the BOM,
which may vary depending upon the production location.", said Jon Wu, Vice
President of POAKS, "Basically it is GCM's ability to handle collaborative operations
among different users at different locations, which is comparative and synchronized
with the ability of PTC's Windchill system."
"Besides the reporting of compliance status for each component inside the BOM,
GCM's ability of scanning possible exemptions for components that fail to comply
helps the user in deciding whether an exemption is possible or a replacement is
required.", said Falcon Uang, "It reduces the time of getting the company products
into compliance with RoHS or other environmental regulations."
