ECCMA Coding Concept Explanation & Value Proposition

What is ECCMA Coding? A standardised, structured coding system that will uniquely identify items by their specific properties

How Does it Work? • • • Current Catalogues consist of a list of numbers (stock code) and descriptions ECCMA coding converts the existing catalogue into a database Converting the existing catalogue into such a format involves 4 Steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. Classification Identification Guide Selection and Commercialization Value Extraction Content Enrichment

Step 1 - Classification What is the item in question? ECCMA identifies items based on the principle of a noun and a qualifier (to more accurately describe the noun). In this case: Bearing: Ball; Annular ECCMA Concept Identifier: 0161 -1 -01006687

Step 2 – Identification Guide Commercialization What do I need to know about this bearing in order to buy it? • Bearing: Ball; Annular • • Inner Diameter Outer Diameter Width # Rows Sealing Type Load Rating Speed Rating Commercialized Template

Step 3 – Value Extraction What do I already know about this item from my current catalogue/code? Current Description BEARING SKF 6317 85 MM BORE 180 MM O/D 41 MM W. REF. SKF 6317 BALL BEARINGS RADIAL RIGID TO BS 292 PART 1 1982 SINGLE ROW OPEN TYPE MEDIUM SERIES WITH Brand & Part # Internal Diameter External Diameter Width # of Rows Sealed/Non Sealed

Step 3 – Value Extraction What do I already know about this item from my current catalogue/code? Bearing: Ball; Annular Inner Diameter 85 mm Outer Diameter 180 mm Width 41 mm # Rows 1 Sealing Type Open Load Rating ? ? ? Speed Rating ? ? ? Partially Populated Commercialized Template Missing Properties

Step 4 – Content Enrichment Populating the missing properties to complete the coding process. www. skf. com Bearing: Ball; Annular Inner Diameter 85 mm Outer Diameter 180 mm Width 41 mm # Rows 1 Sealing Type Open Load Rating 3. 55 KN Speed Rating 5000 rpm
