We recently sat down with CIMdata's VP, Stan Przybylinski, and asked him to share his thoughts on the topic of closed-loop product development, an area of interest that he will be talking about at CIMdata’s upcoming PLM Market & Industry Forum—Products, Smartly Connected. One of the promises of smart, connected products is being able to capture product performance data using the IoT and to leverage this data to improve the product and other associated lifecycle processes. But how is this done exactly? The answer one gets is different for each solution provider. In this interview Stan will offer answers to the following questions:       What do you mean by closed-loop product development?       What kinds of benefits are to be expected?       How are the leading PLM solution providers addressing these issues?       Where do we go from here? To read the full interview visit

CIMdata had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Todd Earls, Vice President of Information Technology at Eaton, a global power management company doing business in over 175 countries. Mr. Earls leads an enterprise-wide digital design and manufacturing team that supports thousands of global users, including over 18,000 users of their core engineering data and process management systems and over 25,000 users of various mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD), simulation, application lifecycle management (ALM), virtual reality (VR), and the Internet of Things (IoT) tools, to name just a few categories of managed solutions. His team also supports over 300 manufacturing plants and various tools used by them.  Among the topics on the table for discussion were:        What are some of the key product development/innovation issues faced by your company?       Do you have any programs/initiatives in place to address these issues? E.g., digitalization.       What challenges do

AVEVA has unveiled its new Discrete Lean Management software to support digital transformation in the discrete manufacturing market1. The new offering improves operational efficiency through the digitalization of lean work management for both manual and automated production lines.

Worldwide silicon wafer area shipments in 2019 declined 7 percent from the 2018 record high while revenue remained above the $11 billion mark despite a global silicon revenue slip of 2 percent over the same period, the SEMI Silicon Manufacturers Group (SMG) reported in its year-end analysis of the silicon wafer industry. Silicon wafer area shipments in 2019 totaled 11,810 million square inches (MSI), while the industry logged shipments of 12,732 million square inches in 2018. Revenues in 2019 totaled $11.15 billion, edging down from the $11.38 billion posted in 2018. “The 2019 decline in worldwide semiconductor silicon volume shipments resulted from memory market softness and inventory normalization,” said Neil Weaver, Vice President of SEMI SMG, and Director, Product Development and Applications Engineering, at Shin-Etsu Handotai America. “Despite the volume dip, silicon revenue remained resilient.” To view the original press release, please click here.

Dassault Systèmes unveiled its strategic direction for the coming years, focused on transforming how people are cured and helping them live a better life by making the virtual twin experience of the human body possible.  Virtual twin experiences open up new possibilities for life sciences and healthcare by enabling research, medical, surgical and other health-related disciplines to understand, model, search, test and treat a human body as precisely, safely and effectively as other industrial disciplines already can with cars, buildings or airplanes.   “In 1989, we created the first virtual twin of a giant airplane, the Boeing 777. In 2012, observing that the world was shifting to an experience economy that values usage over product, we dared to imagine a platform that would use comprehensive virtual twins of things as the place to navigate, evaluate, and holistically experiment with an idea to make it reality. We named it the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Our

ASSESS Initiative, a broad reaching multi-industry initiative to facilitate a revolution of enablement that will vastly increase the availability and effectiveness of Engineering Simulation is proud to announce that the ASSESS 2020 Congress dates and location have been set. The ASSESS 2020 Congress will be held at the Chateau Elan Winery & Resort (50 miles Northeast of Atlanta) November 2-4, 2020. The ASSESS 2020 Congress is the 5th annual congress for ASSESS organized to “enable” both strategies and relationships related to significantly increasing the use and benefit of Engineering Simulation. Key business drivers are forcing a “simulation revolution” to overcome the issue of required expertise which is limiting the expansion of Engineering Simulation usage. The theme of the ASSESS 2020 Congress is “Leading the Engineering Simulation Revolution.” Registration for the ASSESS 2020 Congress is by invitation only and is limited to 110 attendees. Registration will close either when all

Revolution In Simulation (“Rev-Sim” at www.rev-sim.org), the industry collaboration and technology alliance created to accelerate innovation through the democratization of engineering simulation, announces the addition of Digital Thread and Simulation Process and Data Management (SPDM) to its growing line-up of next-generation simulation topics. Simulation data, tools and experts are often isolated within silos in enterprises. This results in a lack of access to this valuable data in a timely manner across the enterprise. Over the next decade, many companies will want to better leverage their simulation investments by deploying SPDM tools to manage their simulation data and processes across the enterprise. To avoid creating yet another silo, the goal is to integrate SPDM seamlessly with the enterprise product platforms that manage their Digital Threads. This new Rev-Sim topic will collate all the resources and success stories needed to implement this strategy.  “For simulation to have its desired and timely
