Digital Engineering

In a highly competitive global marketplace, manufacturers must continually innovate how they manage the mind-boggling complexities of product and process development. The lifecycle of a product begins with its original conception, then moves to design and engineering, then to manufacturing, and finally to the ongoing use and support of the product. Managing the entire lifecycle of a product and its data within a single digital environment is becoming critical for manufacturing organizations seeking to capture the value of Industry 4.0. New business benefits and optimization opportunities are unlocked simply by connecting design engineers, manufacturing engineers, and manufacturing operators in managing product and process development. Product Design Automation enables product innovation and intelligent design generation at speeds never before seen in the industry. Add a holistic approach to product data management with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and you have a single source of truth across the enterprise designed to support change and drive continuous improvement in an efficient and collaborative way.

What is Product Design Automation ?

Every product must be designed before it can be manufactured, but how this process is managed and executed can have a huge impact on a manufacturer’s speed to market and product innovation capabilities, especially when it comes to highly complex or customizable products. For this reason, design automation software tools are increasingly being used in design and engineering departments in manufacturing industries. Design automation solutions enable the capture and reuse of engineering knowledge and intent to design more efficiently. Digitizing this process helps reduce errors and time spent on tedious and repetitive modeling tasks. Design automation capabilities can also be leveraged downstream to facilitate process development and manufacturing.

What is Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) ?

Organizing and managing large amounts of data is a daunting task in the manufacturing industry. Keeping this information up to date and ensuring that the data is controlled and accessible across different departments in an organization is an even greater challenge. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product, from concept, design, manufacturing, service, and disposal. By leveraging a digital PLM solution, teams and individuals can effectively create, organize, manage, and consolidate information across the enterprise. Companies can leverage PLM systems to instantly collaborate throughout the product design, manufacturing planning, and assembly process.
