CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces new research on “Product Line Engineering @ IBM: Managing Smart Products Across the Lifecycle.” Products and product development complexity are evolving in tandem, with the trend toward smart, connected products driving companies to look for new product development and support methods. Product line engineering (PLE) has emerged as an approach that can readily support a systems view to develop families of product variants in an effective manner. IBM’s Continuous Engineering Solution builds on their traditional strengths in requirements management and software development, and leverages their on-going support for standards and open solutions to help support PLE strategy implementation. This paper focuses on issues in product development and variant management, and how PLE and IBM and their partners can help industrial companies develop and manage smart products across the product lifecycle.

A record turnout of delegates at Javelin’s customer event saw a preview of the production control software’s forthcoming 2016 release. It included major enhancements to Advanced Scheduling, along with improvement to its CRM system, Configured Parts and a link to the world’s most powerful sheet metal CAD/CAM software, Radan. Whilst Javelin, from Vero Software, brings out two new releases a year, customers typically update every two or three years and General Manager, Paul Holmes, said many of them were surprised to see how much additional functionality has been added since their last upgrade. “We had a number of posters creating a timeline of Javelin from 2008 right through to the new 2016 r1 release.  Each poster showed an area of functionality and some customers were seeing 30 posters packed with more efficient and time saving  functionality that they’re not able to use, but could access by upgrading to the latest version.” The
