Educational webinar will show how failure knowledge capture and reuse systems can be used to improve the reliability of connected intelligent products.
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 15 November 2016—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “How do you ensure your Connected Intelligent Products can be trusted? Deploy Knowledge Systems for Reliability Design.” The webinar will take place on December 15, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. (EST) and will last for one hour.
Design-for-reliability applied to complex systems and systems-of-systems needs a seamless connection between the processes and tools of systems engineering and reliability engineering. A seamless connection is a crucial first step for enabling the enterprise design-for-reliability capability that is imperative for developing connected, intelligent systems that are likely to be reliable. It is also important to have an information management system for failure knowledge capture and reuse that not only feeds back product failure knowledge from previous generation products, but also from the verification and validation cycles of the current development. This failure knowledge management system must be connected to the processes and tools of both systems engineering and reliability engineering to avoid missed failure modes and realize robust designs.
According to the webinar host, CIMdata’s Director, Quality & Reliability Engineering, Dr. Venkatesh “Venki” Agaram, “The problem of reusing pre-existing knowledge about failure modes could be solved effectively through the definition of an ontology, which enables a common understanding of the domain specific concepts without the need for interpretation, while making the ontology-held knowledge explicit and machine-readable.”
Dr. Agaram has more than 35 years of experience spanning research and development, virtual engineering, reliability of simulations, complex materials systems, controlled mechanical systems, design for six sigma, structured innovation, innovation culture enhancement, regulatory compliance, recall mitigation, process modeling, market strategy, business transformation, and business development. At CIMdata, Dr. Agaram leads the effort to transform industry practices resulting in a more effective association between knowledge management and quality & reliability engineering, to improve the robustness of smart connected products and processes.
The webinar offers attendees an overview of Semantic Web Technology companies and their ability to provide failure knowledge capture and reuse systems and integrating them with systems engineering and reliability engineering offerings.
The webinar will be useful to reliability engineers, reliability engineering managers, systems engineers, systems engineering managers, IT Leadership responsible for product development tools and systems, product managers and consultants from PLM solution providers, and anyone who wants to learn more about deploying knowledge systems for reliability design.
During the webinar attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
