Key takeaways:

• A closed-loop requirements view through all phases of the product lifecycle—from design to manufacturing and including customer use—is critical so that an Automaker can learn, adapt, and adjust continually to stay ahead of its competition.
• Only a fully integrated solution—one that is and remains integrated through a product’s lifecycle across all disciplines—can enable the process revolution essential to establish and sustain an automaker in a leadership position for tomorrow.
• Reducing early physical prototypes with simulation by relating requirements with test results enables repeatable, traceable correlation of virtual to actual performance.
• Concurrently examining how a requirement...

I recently spent some “quality” “Zoom” time with my colleague, Jim Roche, who is CIMdata’s A&D Practice Director. Jim was excited to talk about his upcoming presentation, The Multi-View BOM Value Potential, at the CIMdata PLM Market & Industry Forum, which takes place over the late March to early April time frame as a live event in North America and as virtual events in EMEA.

The first thing on the table in our discussion touched on the hype surrounding the Multi-view BOM

For decades, the Digital Thread has been core to the PLM vision. The concept of linking multiple representations of a...

Siemens solutions foster broader closed-loop collaboration

Key takeaways:

• To bridge the gap between today’s advanced driver-assisted systems and tomorrow’s fully autonomous vehicles (AV), transportation management systems, from fleet coordination to traffic management, must be well connected.
• New sensors, automotive software including on-vehicle embedded and off-vehicle (cloud) software, and computing advances are the building blocks enabling advanced driver-assisted system (ADAS) features and eventually driverless autonomous vehicles. Connecting empirical data for model validation, will enhance collaboration between all stakeholders during AV product development and operations.
• Connectedness will keep AV products safer while improving the travel experience by reducing traffic...

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 2 March 2022—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces the release of a new whitepaper, Accelerated Product Development—Faster Decisions while Reducing Physical Prototypes. The whitepaper describes Siemens Digital Industries Software’s integrated and cross-discipline approach enabling accelerated product development within automakers, including the benefits automakers are realizing by using trusted simulations to make key product decisions earlier. Furthermore, the time consumed to build prototypes can be reduced once simulations are good enough to support the next set of product development decisions. With new drive lines and battery technology, not to mention...

This position paper presents the primary business requirements of the A&D industry for PLM interoperability standards.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 22 February 2022—Representatives of the Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) have published a position paper, Interoperability Standards for Aerospace & Defense, that considers the value proposition of standards enablement of Model-Based Enterprise interoperability.

Ineffective implementation of interoperability standards industry-wide and the selective capabilities embraced by PLM solution providers severely impacts collaboration within a large, global, distributed supply chain of design and development partners. These two factors prevent the digital continuity needed to set up a Model-Based Enterprise.

The future development...
