Abstract
Product developers need high quality information about the components which they use in their product development. The exchange of this component information is today often still in an “archaic” stage: component data hardly exists in computer sensible form, often it is distributed only in form of textual data sheets in pdf format. This paper presents the MERCI system which exploits the PLIB standard for the exchange of component data between the processing systems of manufacturers and users.
