Making the value of technology clear
Engineering data is valuable across the enterprise, but not everybody gets the information they need. We researched the need for 3D engineering data and the applications that create, access, and share it. We found the need is growing and investigated how companies are filling it. It’s not just the typical build-or-buy scenario. Please enjoy the…
Where should A&D manufacturing companies focus their Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) efforts? To achieve MBE goals, manufacturers must track parts and processes from design engineering through manufacturing to the sustainment of the finished product in the field. The challenge is not transferring information among the business, design, and manufacturing systems; it is the complexity of creating…
How can manufacturers gain confidence in moving to autonomous operations? Combining the agility of SaaS with the reliability of edge at the plantwide level is an emerging approach for MES. This eBook walks through why MES is core to moving from automation to autonomy. It discusses the challenges of gaining the resilience between the plant…
OEMs spend significant time and effort pulling together data to meet Integrated Product Support (IPS) requirements. Creating and aggregating product sustainment data is inefficient due to disconnected data and processes. How can PLM help OEMs and suppliers develop and capture high quality IPS data to meet standards like SAE GEIA-0007C without creating redundancy and excess…
How far have manufacturers come in connecting the product digital thread from design through manufacturing? How mature is the integration of data in the two primary systems supporting engineering and production? We interviewed over 200 large manufacturers to answer those questions and many more. Please enjoy an overview of our findings, below. For the full…
