Tuesday, 7 April 2020 – SESSION 2
- 8:00 a.m. - 8:15 a.m. | Q&A - 2019 Market Analysis Results
Stan Przybylinski, Vice President, CIMdata [bio] - 8:15 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. | Focus on Products, Smartly Connected
Today most manufactured products are smart and connected, whether they should be or not. This session will focus on the issues that are faced by companies developing such products and will offer some insights into how industry might improve their development and lifecycle management processes to meet these evolving requirements.- 8:15 a.m. – 8:50 a.m. | Synching Siloed Development
Craig Brown, Executive Consultant, CIMdata [bio] [View Presentation]
The practice at successful engineering/product companies uses concurrent engineering performed by teams of engineers and technicians synchronizing their efforts at key milestones to assess progress and readiness for mass production. The original motivations for synchronization are being challenged by new technologies and processes like additive manufacturing and agile development. New tools and analytics can help across the product lifecycle. This presentation will focus on how siloed development must evolve to meet today’s product lifecycle challenges.
- 8:50 a.m. – 9:25 a.m. | xBOM Management Across the Lifecycle Learn More
Tom Gill, Practice Manager, PLM Enterprise Value and Integration, CIMdata [bio] [View Presentation]
Electronic component obsolescence is a critical issue with smart connected products, especially those with long lifespans. Digital twins are the best approach to effectively address this business problem. This presentation will describe the issues faced by industrial companies and how a properly implemented digital twin that connects data across different BOMs can reduce the impact of component obsolescence.
- 9:25 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. | Closed-Loop Product Development Learn More
Stan Przybylinski, Vice President, CIMdata [bio] [View Presentation]
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 is different for each solution provider. This session will focus on how people are addressing this issue.
- 8:15 a.m. – 8:50 a.m. | Synching Siloed Development
Thursday, 9 April 2020 – SESSION 3
- 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.(EDT) | Short Takes on Hot Topics
These presentations will provide updates on topics relevant to our overall theme and the PLM Economy at large.- 8:00 a.m. – 8:20 a.m. | Multiple View Bill of Materials Solution Evaluation Benchmarks Learn More
James Roche, Director, A&D Practice, CIMdata [bio] [View Presentation]
CIMdata administers the ADPAG on behalf of the leading A&D OEMs and leading suppliers. In this presentation CIMdata will provide an update on on-going research being conducted on behalf of the group.
- 8:20 a.m. – 8:40 a.m. | Agile Methodologies & PLM
Tom Gill, Practice Manager, PLM Enterprise and Integration, CIMdata [bio] [View Presentation]
Agile has taken over software development and is making significant inroads into becoming the dominant PLM deployment methodology. Enterprise deployments have some unique requirements that conflict with agile. This presentation will describe some of the issues and remedies associated with using agile to deploy PLM solutions within the enterprise.
- 8:40 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. | Closing the Smart, Connected Lifecycle Loop with IoT
Peter Bilello, President & CEO, CIMdata [bio] [View Presentation]
While some smart, connected products (e.g., elevators) have been around for a few decades, the advent of the IoT and relatively inexpensive sensors have made smart, connected products common place. This presentation will briefly take a look at the current state of IoT related technologies being used to close the smart, connected lifecycle loop and what technologies are on the horizon that are expected to make an impact on this rapidly evolving technology space.
