Driving Business Transformation with an Enterprise-wide PLM Platform
John McCallum, High Tech Industry Solution Lead, Dassault Systemes

This presentation will discuss how a large successful electronics manufacturer, with high growth ambitions, looked at their strategic business drivers, assessed the maturity levels of their new product development and quality processes and partnered with Dassault Systèmes to drive business transformation with an enterprise-wide PLM platform.

Managing Software Components in the Product Structure
Ravi Iyer, PLM Solution Lead, Cisco Systems

In recent years, most of the products specific to the High-Tech industry are becoming increasingly complex as SW features are growing multitude along with the integrated HW functionalities. This evolution calls for a good traceability of both HW and SW components to be part of the Product Bill of Material. While the HW related features are fairly mature to define in PLM, mapping the SW assets as part of the Product Structure in PLM is an industry-leading Initiative. In this presentation find out how Cisco Systems has implemented PLM to manage this successfully.

The Future of Making Things
Brian Roepke, Director of PLM, Autodesk, Inc.

Disruptive trends are accelerating and are providing both established and startup companies with new ways to design and produce their products and create related services. Products are becoming more intelligent, customer expectations are increasing, and new production technologies are expanding. At Autodesk we call this the Future of Making Things and we’re developing solutions, like cloud-based PLM, to help high tech electronics companies take advantage of these disruptive trends.

Electronic Component Engineering: New Challenges, New Approaches
Lopa Subramanian, Director of Product Management, Aras

The increase of intelligent, connected products and IoT devices is driving new complexities into the design, development, and supply chain processes. Electronic component engineering is more challenging, more inefficient, and more risk prone than ever. As a result, current disjointed practices for managing purchased components used in products are breaking down. Improved integration is needed from design selection and reuse to ensuring conflict mineral and environmental compliance through product changes notification and eventual end of life. In this presentation find out how integrating electronic component engineering into the PLM workflow streamlines and simplifies selection, approval, sourcing and compliance processes to increase productivity while reducing liability and supply chain risks.

Using PLM to execute a successful NPDI process for Electronics and Semiconductor
Sia Langrudi, Vice President, Worldwide Strategy and Business Development for Electronics & Semiconductor, Siemens PLM Software

Several key trends today impact the ability of companies to create the next breakthrough innovation in electronic products. The “Internet of Things” represents the trend of rapidly growing numbers of embedded sensors, integrated circuits (ICs), and miniaturized electronics that allow devices to interact with other devices wirelessly. Miniaturization continues to drive the need for innovation because consumers expect smarter and eco-friendly devices, in smaller form factors, at reduced prices, and higher quality. Companies are now motivated to implement “smart manufacturing” principles in electronics production. This includes considering the insourcing or near-sourcing manufacturing operations due to increasing labor costs in traditionally low-cost manufacturing countries, as well as fulfilling the need for products in a build/configure-to-order marketplace. With key PLM initiatives they are able to optimize the processes used across the enterprise and supply chain in order to decide which products will be produced, how and where products will be built, and how to accurately and consistently predict cost, quality, and compliance before committing expensive design and manufacturing resources.
