Making the value of technology clear
How far have manufacturers progressed in connecting the digital thread across engineering and manufacturing? Earlier this year we surveyed over 200 manufacturers and found that they are pursuing PLM-MES integration for two primary reasons; improving time-to-market and product quality. The research showed other goals as well, including supporting AI initiatives. But the data also…
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…
Could deep, proven planning, scheduling, and execution deliver higher value if they acted as a closed-loop, real-time system? OK, that’s an obvious yes, particularly for complex discrete industries. While it’s not common in the market, it is the driving vision for Eyelit Technologies (Eyelit). They are leveraging both longstanding Eyelit integration capabilities and more recently…
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…
How can manufacturers develop a digital thread and unlock the business value necessary to stay competitive? Today’s manufacturers operate in an environment defined by compressed timelines, increasing product complexity, and heightened customer expectations. Success depends on the ability to move quickly without sacrificing quality, compliance, or profitability. To achieve this, organizations must enable seamless collaboration…
