Key takeaways: IBM’s executives made it clear that IBM is “all-in” on the cloud and mobile, the foci of the event, and they continue to make investments and acquisitions to build out their capabilities IBM has many strengths dispersed across several groups in PLM for smart, connected products, and customer cases are emerging that highlight their breadth of capabilities One thing IBM brings to the table that the traditional PLM solution providers do not is a long history and significant investments in analytics and cognitive computing Billed as “The Premier Cloud & Mobile Conference,” IBM InterConnect 2016 is a sprawling event that had the Mandalay Bay Conference Center bursting at the seams with over 25,000 people from customers, partners, and IBM. IBM created this event last year by merging three separate events: Pulse (focused on their Tivoli offerings), Innovate (Rational), and Impact (WebSphere). All of these product offerings, and more, were on the exhibit

Key takeaways: Few PLM implementations achieve their original goals and often end up as PDM silos that struggle to evolve as business needs change PLM is usually not enabled with a single technology and no solution provider has a complete end-to-end, top-to-bottom solution that fully enables an organization’s end-to-end PLM needs Enabling PLM requires a platform that is capable of filling in data and process gaps to connect system silos into a holistic solution that meets current as well as future business requirements An organization’s PLM platform should be easily configurable to support future requirements without exorbitant cost and effort Aras Innovator case studies show its ability to fill in PLM process gaps and tie disparate product definition silos together, and according to their clients, has the platform capabilities needed to help them achieve their PLM vision CIMdata has been in PLM since before the acronym PLM emerged. Over the years we have seen product complexity

NEC Australia and Microsoft will co-develop IoT solutions for clients in vertical markets including manufacturing, retail, health and transport using Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform and Azure IoT Suite. As a strategic partner, NEC Australia will be using Azure IoT Suite to solve new business challenges, which include solutions for public safety, transport, asset management, health, remote monitoring and predictive maintenance. Microsoft’s Azure IoT Suite helps customers rapidly provision solutions that collect, analyse, store and visualise data from billions of IoT devices, as well as integrate services with existing business processes. The IoT Suite can be integrated with Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Storage, Azure DocumentDB, Azure Web Apps, and Microsoft Power BI. Azure IoT Hub is Microsoft’s cloud-gateway service, which helps secure, provision and maintain IoT devices as well as allowing devices to talk with each other and to services hosted in the Azure cloud. NEC Australia was selected because it could demonstrate a deep

Designed for 3D CAD analysis, 3D viewing, technical documentation and 3D publishing, the KISTERS 3DViewStation is intended for use by engineers, designers and other downstream consumers of 3D data. Its primary function is to provide immediate visualisation and analysis of large 3D CAD models, much faster than any alternatives on the market. For designers, the software allows quick pre-viewing assemblies, enabling the user to find the part they are looking for, without having to open and navigate unwieldy native-format assembly data. Since its introduction to the UK market, the software has generated a high level of demand. For Design Rule, the only UK distributor of the software, the feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. “We tried and tested many 3D CAD viewers,” explained Ian Colley, engineering and QA manager of video game giant, Sega Amusements. “We settled for 3DViewStation as it was by far, the better choice for us.

Centric Software announces that Varner, one of Scandinavia’s leading retail textile companies, has selected Centric 8 PLM (product lifecycle management) to support its growth strategy across Europe. Varner and their suppliers will use the complete Centric 8 PLM suite, including Centric’s mobile apps for PLM. Centric is the leading PLM for fashion, retail, luxury and consumer goods companies. Founded in 1962, by Frank Varner, Varner has been running stores over 50 years. The family-owned company rapidly grew into an international business, one of Northern- Europe’s largest textile companies, and can pride itself on having 1,500 stores across 8 countries today: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Poland, Germany and Austria. 80% of the revenue of this € 1.3 billion fashion retailer comes from their private label brands and concepts such as Dressmann, Cubus and Bik Bok. In addition, Varner owns Volt, which includes licensing for J Lindeberg, Diesel and Private label for These

Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced a design, layout, and verification solution to support design applications for TSMC’s Integrated Fan-Out (InFO) wafer-level packaging technology. The solution comprises the Calibre® nmDRC physical verification product, the Calibre RVE™ results viewing platform, and the Xpedition® Package Integrator flow. It enables mutual customers to deploy the unique fan-out layer structures and interconnects in the TSMC InFO technology, targeting cost-sensitive applications such as mobile and consumer products. The interplay between today’s advanced system-on-chip (SoC) technologies and packaging requirements is driving the need for co-validation between integrated circuit (IC) and package design environments. The Xpedition Package Integrator flow will be Mentor’s platform to support TSMC’s unique TSMC InFO design requirements, including integration with other Mentor solutions the first being Calibre nmDRC and Calibre RVE. The Mentor® solution allows IC and package designers to view and cross-probe results from the Calibre nmDRC tool directly inside the Xpedition Package Integrator flow

Plastic Ingenuity, a leader in innovative packaging solutions from proposal to finished product, is proud to debut a groundbreaking new technology to cut costs and trial-and-error testing for packaging designers. Perfect Shelf, a 3D experience solution from Dassault Systèmes, bridges the gap between retailers, consumers, and product design engineers while a design is being developed, far before any real-world trials are needed. The digital modeling system creates highly realistic aisle views with shelves, fixtures, products, lighting, and promotional materials, all supported with product performance and consumer trend information. Product shelving quality affects brand awareness, sales margins, and overall product revenue. A key factor to any product’s overall success, packaging choices directly influence the consumer shopping experience. Perfect Shelf software simulates the subtleties of a package’s unique design in context, allowing for better informed strategy and decision making, and ultimately more successful work. Plastic Ingenuity’s team of in-house packaging design engineers combine deep industry
