 PDF Key takeaways: While PLM strategies are common in manufacturing industries, they can provide just as much value in the development and long-term monitoring of insurance coverages and banking products. Insurance policy premiums and bank loan repayments do not fundamentally differ from a manufacturer's flow of revenues from sales of goods. Financial companies are searching for people with PLM implementation experience while PLM solution providers seek people with backgrounds in underwriting and lending. One sure sign of a strategy’s lasting success is its uptake by industries that have seemingly little in common with the industry that generated the strategy in the first place. Such is the case with industrial mainstay Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), now drawing interest from financial, insurance, and other similar companies. From its roots in aircraft and automotive manufacturing in the early 1980s, PLM spread into other discrete industries (e.g. high-tech and industrial equipment) and then into the process industries, food, apparel and

Tasktop, a leader in Software Lifecycle Integration (SLI) and creator of the Eclipse Mylyn open source tool, today announced that it will offer free integration support between the recently announced Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Octane solution from Hewlett Packard and its existing HPE ALM/Quality Center. HPE ALM Octane is specifically designed for high-velocity, Lean and Agile teams, and represents HPE’s next generation of application lifecycle management products. As a long-standing partner, Tasktop has been working with HPE ALM Octane since its private beta. According to Tasktop CEO Mik Kersten, “Tasktop has created a new free offering to enable a seamless upgrade path to HPE ALM Octane by synchronizing customer defects between their current HPE ALM/QC installations and HPE ALM Octane. This means that customers can allow some teams to continue to use HPE ALM/QC, while others move to HPE ALM Octane at the pace that’s right for the organization. Our goal is to support

On Center Software launched a totally new website this week to help construction contractors see and test the industry’s top digital tools in the field today. The site, www.OnCenter.com, has streamlined its pages with a cleaner, simpler format, enhanced graphics, and a more responsive interface with faster loading times. “We engineered the design changes so navigating is much faster. You can find estimating tools, takeoff and project management platforms much easier. Finding white papers, tricks and tips, training and support is just a click away. Trade experts from concrete, painting, drywall and ceiling, framing, landscape design, and more, have content and customized products for them. In fact, many functional enhancements to our software came from our customers,” explained Kyle Hamer, Vice President of Marketing. In addition to the website enhancement, On Center was recognized by Constructech Magazine as a global leader in technology in its July/August edition. “We are proud to be named

3D Systems announced today that its end-to-end digital design and manufacturing solutions led to the enhanced mobility of a disabled African penguin at Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, CT. In a collaborative endeavor led by the aquarium’s veterinary staff, students at Mystic Middle School worked with technical experts from ACT Group, a Connecticut-based 3D Systems partner, to make a lightweight, custom-fit boot for Yellow/Purple (AKA “Purps”), a resident of Mystic Aquarium’s endangered African penguin colony. Using 3D Systems’ 3D scanning, design and printing solutions, the group improved upon previous efforts by providing Purps with a more efficient and effective boot. Purps was left with a nonfunctional flexor tendon in her ankle following an altercation with another penguin. In an initial effort to immobilize, support and protect the site of injury, veterinarians at Mystic Aquarium fashioned a boot for Purps from moldable plastic material. While adequate, the animal care team at Mystic Aquarium knew there were more

For all the talk about the democratization of simulation, here’s how much of the work still gets done today: A highly trained expert, often with an advanced degree, toils away on a local desktop, gathering data, building models, running simulations and then circulating a report that sums up his/her findings to colleagues throughout the design process. The increasing complexity of products — more reliance on cyber/physical systems and especially software — calls for more pervasive use of simulation, performed regularly throughout the design cycle, not just at the back-end for validation. In the new model-based design approach, simulation data and results need to be widely and continuously shared with the rest of the engineering organization, even if the skilled analyst remains the epicenter of simulation work. The requirement is prompting renewed interest in simulation data management (SDM), not just as a separate enterprise hub for managing simulation data and processes,
