Making the value of technology clear
Current Processes can be Improved
There is significant room for improvement. The majority of companies validate process plans with time-consuming and expensive physical prototyping. Physical prototypes bring abstract designs into the real world so engineers can identify issues and improvement opportunities. Most companies also use spreadsheets, which are prone to errors and file-based so they are not conducive to collaboration. These approaches lead to late discoveries and expensive process validation.
Leverage Visual Approaches
Trading physical prototypes for digital validation reduces time and cost. A significant number of companies already use some form of virtual representations. Static visualizations can help engineers see an issue in the digital world before committing to a physical prototype or manufacturing equipment.
Adopt Simulation
Beyond static images, virtual simulation helps designers go beyond “seeing” to virtually experiencing the production process. While only about one-quarter use either 2D or 3D simulation, it’s a promising technology and a potential for significant planning and validation improvement.

How can PLM, traditionally an engineering-centric solution, drive innovation, agility, and operational excellence throughout the entire product lifecycle? Attend this webinar to learn how the right PLM can help manufacturers focus on the big picture, not just engineering, to develop profitable products. Hear from:
What do manufacturers need in MES to be competitive both today and in the future?
Hint: it goes well beyond strong functional support and into what may sound like buzzwords, but are truly crucial architectural elements. In this paper, we group them into three elements: digital thread-ready, personalized, and leveraging a comprehensive digital twin. Each of these supports various aspects of industrial competitiveness.

Recommendations and Next Steps
We’ve seen ENOVIA and NETVIBES present together at a number of events. It’s clear that it’s not just a matter of convenience or economies of scale to speak about two brands at a time. It’s a demonstration of the synergies that help DS make significant progress in evolving the 3DXEXPRIENCE Platform to become more of a business-oriented platform, where NETVIBES extends ENOVIA information and provides value well beyond engineering by bringing in additional data to provide an enterprise-level digital twin. There is still a lot of work to do, but this is the clearest evidence we’ve seen of an organic evolution from an engineering-centric PLM solution to meet broader business needs that appeal beyond Engineering to the executive suite.
Thanks to Joe Horine, Susan Lenzi, and Nancy O’Flaherty for your organizing the event and to Stephane Declee, Morgan Zimmerman, and a host of other leaders and subject matter experts for sharing your progress and vision.

Manufacturers continue to move product data and product-related processes to the cloud. What’s driving them? What value are they looking for, and what are they achieving? We surveyed 270 companies that design, engineer, or manufacture products to find out.
Please enjoy the summary* below. For the full research, please visit our sponsor Autodesk (registration required).
Achieving Significant Benefits
The Cloud Makes Work Easier and More Flexible
The next most common benefits are those that make work easier. Moving product-related data and processes to the cloud allows remote and flexible work, supports business agility, allows easier access to data, and enhances collaboration. These are very valuable for today’s distributed product design and development teams. They are also important as companies have adapted to changing markets and ways of working to cope with recent global disruptions like the pandemic. Additional benefits include enhanced talent acquisition and retention, greater supply chain connectivity, better data and knowledge retention, and continuous process improvement.

[post_content] => I caught up with a really interesting software company that I’ve been following named Soley. I shared a bit about them after our first discussion last year and I was impressed with their unique solution. At that time, I saw how they used cloud, analytics, and collaborative decision-making to understand the impact products have on the value chain. They’ve formalized the approach, which they now call product mining, to help analyze product portfolios to gain efficiencies. They leverage complexity analytics, value patterns, and decision intelligence to create and analyze a graph model (aka enterprise digital twin) that allows their customers to gain transparency into portfolio complexity and inefficiencies so they can reduce ballast and side products. Thank you Maximilian Kissel and Sven Litke for the update.

[post_content] => We are excited about prospects for continued service transformation for complex equipment after hearing the latest updates from ServiceMax. We know a new chapter will unfold as the PTC acquisition takes hold. Yet even before that, ServiceMax’s traction in field service management is impressive, with all of its primary product suites scoring new wins to arrive at nearly 400 customers and over 300,000 users. Product-centric from the start, this company differentiates itself by focusing on the service lifecycle for complex products. In their words, they “keep the world running.”
A pure-play SaaS provider on the SalesForce platform, we see how they approach new customers and focus on ongoing customer expansions. Voice of the customer activities seem to ensure that the product roadmap meets real needs, and they boast of a wide range of activities to ensure customers are increasingly satisfied with the support, product quality, and documentation.
ServiceMax’s acquisition of Zinc in 2020 has become a central capability for enterprise-grade instant messaging. Their acquisition of LiquidFrameworks has paid off in additional sales of their FieldFX product for oil and gas, and as the underlying technology for their directed field service management solution, DataGuide, which shows promise to combat the shrinking workforce and knowledgebase of experienced technicians. They have also invested in mobile apps, with separate mobile apps for technicians to get guidance, collaborate, and for the end customers to be in touch with their service providers.
We now understand more of the momentum behind PTC’s announcement that it will acquire ServiceMax. Both are product-focused, and ServiceMax stretches into the in-use product lifecycle. ServiceMax’s momentum, whether on its own or as a SalesForce FSM add-on, delivers strength for PTC to build its business.
Thank you, Gordon Benzie, for taking the time to update us! We look forward to watching the progress of the combined PTC/ServiceMax business and conversations with Sumair Dutta and others.

[post_content] => I had the opportunity to meet with the Duro team to get an update on their progress. We’re paying attention to Duro because they’re applying agile paradigms created for software development and making them applicable to companies that develop hardware. This is a novel approach that’s proving promising for software-intensive products like those in space, industrial electronics, and consumer device industries. They’re taking a unique approach, adapting PLM principles to agile product development with Github style workflows.
Duro has made significant progress since we last spoke. In particular, they’ve improved customer onboarding, enhanced and extended integrations, provided more configurability, and made their APIs more capable to provide their customers with more process flexibility. At the same time, they’ve grown their team and their customer base.
Duro is definitely an up-and-coming PLM vendor to watch. Thank you Michael Corr, Andrew Pisula, James D White, and Aphrodite Brinsmead for your time.

This Singapore-based company recognized that a crucial missing piece for supply chain operations is accurate information from the plant floors of everyone in that ecosystem. They also address a way to share that information without undue overhead and hassle. Arcstone has products that span from the smallest supplier’s plant floor to the entire ecosystem.

Jim Brown will host a panel discussion focusing on what it takes to deliver on the promise of the digital twin. The webinar will focus on what’s currently achievable and what results companies can reasonably expect from today’s commercially available solutions. We’ll compare the pros and cons of buying, building, and assembling digital twins and explore how far a company can go with a platform versus a “best-of-breed” approach.

To keep pace with your competition, is it time to upgrade your CAD tool?
Tech-Clarity’s How-to Guide for Changing CAD Tools takes a look at this question and investigates what’s involved. Standing out in today’s global economy is not an easy task, so there is the constant quest for innovation. To innovate, many companies are turning to new technologies like 3D printing, new materials, smarter products, and digitalization. Tech-Clarity’s research How to Futureproof Your Product Design finds that 83% of Top Performing companies rate new technology as very important to their innovation goals. At the same time, new technologies can mean new approaches to design. Is your current CAD solution up to the challenge of new design approaches? If not, your CAD tool may be holding you back from bringing higher-performing, higher-quality, and more innovative products to market, making the struggle to keep up with the competition even harder.
Please enjoy the summary* below. For the full research, please visit our sponsor Dassault Systemes - SOLIDWORKS.
So what should you do if you find your CAD tool is holding you back? Should you consider a change? If so, what should you expect? Is it worth the time to convert archived data into a new format? Most importantly, do the benefits outweigh potential risks? Tech-Clarity surveyed 192 companies to answer these questions. While there are many interesting findings, the most striking is that over time, business reasons rather than problems with CAD tools have become more influential when choosing a new CAD tool. Growing influencers include supply chains, the vendor’s vision for design, and the CAD vendors’ full breadth of offerings. This indicates CAD is now viewed as a strategic piece of a larger product development solution.
The biggest challenges of switching CAD tools are overcoming the learning curve and reusing legacy data. However, you do not need to convert all legacy data. In fact, on average, companies only convert about half of it, 52%. Despite the efforts involved, companies who have made a CAD change tend to be very happy. Eighty-three percent (83%) of respondents rate their satisfaction a four or five on a scale of one to five.
The study also identified what successful companies look for in a new CAD tool. Top Performers are more likely to consider ease of use, Technical Support, software quality, and market share, which includes the size of the user community. Since implementing their current CAD tools, Top Performers have reduced development time by 19%, development costs by15%, and the time to implement ECOs (engineering change orders) by 16%. They have also been able to increase the number of design iterations by 17%, helping them achieve greater levels of innovation.
How can PLM, traditionally an engineering-centric solution, drive innovation, agility, and operational excellence throughout the entire product lifecycle? Attend this webinar to learn how the right PLM can help manufacturers focus on the big picture, not just engineering, to develop profitable products. Hear from:
It’s really exciting to see low code / no code solutions hitting their stride. We’ve been following the approach for a long time and we’re seeing it take shape in some really interesting ways. Julie Fraser and I spoke with Pillir to understand how they’re applying low-code to improve manufacturing and supply chain in the SAP ecosystem. They’ve developed a cloud-based platform aimed at helping companies automate manual gaps with low-code, extending SAP, and modernizing legacy applications.
Companies are facing significant disruption and desperately need ways to increase agility and get more value from existing systems, what our research calls filling digital transformation gaps. Pillir helps by providing pre-built applications built on their platform and allowing customers to use them as is, modify them, or build their own applications tapping into underlying systems. One of the really interesting aspects of their approach is their focus on scanners and other rugged devices, in addition to supporting mobile, online, and offline use cases that are common in manufacturing plants and distribution facilities.
Thanks for sharing what you do, Vaidya Aiyer and Irit Gillath, we’re looking forward to learning more. And thank you for setting up the discussion Suzanne Mattaboni.

I had the chance to check in with Propel to get an update on their Product Value Management (PVM) strategy. I’m usually not a big fan of new acronyms, but they really are talking about something more than the current state of PLM. When I started researching PLM (two decades ago, yikes), I developed a comprehensive framework for what the solution could and should be. At the time, it was influenced quite a bit by consumer-oriented new product development (NPD) processes, where NPD needed to expand to NPDI (adding introduction). Few, if any, PLM vendors had that vision, and I would propose that none fully delivered on the promise. Propel is now realizing that vision. The key difference is filling what they call the “product value gap” between product and commercial teams. Propel’s strategy goes beyond what I envisioned, though, focusing on a comprehensive customer experience that spans products and product experiences. It includes three pillars: Defining the product, product operations, and market engagement. It fits the times and how consumers want to engage with products and companies. Propel is led by strategic, visionary thinkers, including Ray Hein, and has the strong support of Salesforce. Keep your eyes on them. If anyone can shake up the industry and move it beyond PLM to PVM it’s probably them. Thanks Tom Shoemaker for sharing the vision with me.

[post_content] => We spent some time with CoLab to get an update on their solution and their progress. We’ve been following CoLab and their goal to become the “system of engagement” for engineering. I’ve referred to them as the potential second half of the PLM promise because they go beyond data and process management to provide a collaborative workspace that facilitates and captures problem solving and decision making, which usually happens outside of PLM (and enterprise systems in general) and goes unmanaged. Their view is pretty clear from the image on this post, they use it to describe the need for a design engagement system.
CoLab is not a replacement to PLM, it’s a complementary solution, and they’ve invested in easy integration to / from major PLM systems primarily including PTC Windchill and Siemens Teamcenter. Some of the primary examples of processes that customers have adopted CoLab to support are formal design reviews, supplier collaboration, and cost reduction / value engineering.
They’ve seen good traction with major manufacturers including Ford, Komatsu, and Polaris. Another positive sign of their progress is that existing customers are expanding their use of the tool, for example to new departments, placopnts, suppliers, and business units. Thank you Adam Keating and MJ Peters for the update!
