Making the value of technology clear
In this episode analysts Jim Brown of Tech-Clarity and Lifecycle Insight’s Chad Jackson debate how PLM can best support the development of embedded software for today’s mechatronic products. Developing the software for today’s systems is complex and should be integrated into the overall product design process, including mechanical and electrical design. The product development and engineering process should be cover…
In the latest Tech4PD dueling analysts Jim Brown of Tech-Clarity and Lifecycle Insight’s Chad Jackson take on a simulation topic. The show focuses on the use of CAE technologies during concept design. The solutions show a lot of promise and have become much easier, but Jim argues that not enough companies are willing to invest…
How will manufacturers benefit from mobile applications to enhance their PLM systems? That is the question Chad Jackson of Lifecycle Insights and Tech-Clarity’s Jim Brown debate in the latest Tech4PD episode, Mobile PLM – What’s the Shortest Path to Value. And somebody gets a pie in the face for losing the last debate on systems engineering…
If you missed the last couple of episodes of Tech4PD you missed Jim Brown taking the Polar Bear Plunge in 34 degree water and failing at the saltine challenge. You also missed some great discussions on Putting ERP and PLM into their Place and whether Integrated or Granular Design Suites offer more value. In this…
As you have seen in the Tech4PD year in review, the consequences for losing a debate on engineering software can be severe. This time somebody shaves their head! Tough loss, that one! In this episode Chad and I discuss Platform Design and related design automation topics. Our debate is which technology should take the lead…
One of the highlights of 2012 for me was the launch of the Tech4PD webshow on Engineering.com where Chad Jackson of Lifecycle Insights and I debate important issues around engineering software. Here’s a quick look at how the first episodes have worked out! Thanks to all for your support, the response has been overwhelming and…
