Addressing the Challenges of Managing Large, Complex Infrastructure and Assets with Secure Collaboration

Key Takeaways

• The Architectural Engineering and Construction (AEC) and Engineering, Construction, and Procurement (EPC) industries do a poor job of handling large numbers of suppliers and providing secure collaboration across the lifecycle of their assets and related information, resulting in higher costs to owner/operators.
• Asset Information Management (AIM) is broader than Building Information Management (BIM) and focuses on managing and maintaining assets throughout their lifecycle while enabling a sustainable collaborative environment between the assets and their suppliers across multiple domains.
• AIM must manage assets...

Key Takeaways

• Increase in cyber-physical systems design complexity: The information revolution has led to multifunctional PCB assemblies with smaller footprints, escalating circuit, package, and system design complexity. Increasing IC speeds, data rates, and denser configurations compound power integrity (PI), signal integrity (SI), and electromagnetic related (EMI/EMC) issues.
• Multiphysics Simulation Challenges: Electromagnetic (EM) simulations, crucial for tackling design challenges, are resource-intensive and are often segmented into smaller portions of the overall design to perform analyses, adding risk to design cycles. The addition of connectors further compounds EM high-frequency effects, necessitating careful analysis. As such, traditionally, EM...
