 PDF Key Takeaways Modern virtual engineering ecosystems keep regulations and safety standards visible ensuring compliance throughout the complete lifecycle. Concurrent, end to end requirements traceability ensures regulatory compliance and speeds development and upgrades. PTC’s Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solutions enable end users to capture system requirements to drive design, analysis, and verification of multi-disciplinary system models. PTC’s enterprise ALM solution portfolio (codebeamer, pure::variants, Modeler, and RV&S) powers Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Requirements Management (RM), Product Line Engineering (PLE), Variant Management (VM), Test Management (TM), and more. VW and BMW have recently selected PTC for their broad ALM capabilities. Introduction CIMdata’s definition of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) emphasizes the complete lifecycle of a product and all its related data and processes, from idea inception to requirements definition, to planning and development, with supply chains, and then mass production and in-service performance and product upgrades. The embedded software within a product and any server-based software that complements it are

 PDF Leveraging a Digital Thread between Digital and Physical Key Takeaways Asset and service data can provide a wealth of valuable insights to help improve design, reliability, uptime, customer experience, and quality—yet it is often unavailable or not readily accessible. Greater product complexity, such as smart products, is driving renewed interest in gaining better access to service information to unlock new business models, such as those based on output. Manufacturers should extend digital thread initiatives to field service operations to unlock this data to make it more easily accessible and actionable as part of a digital strategy. PTC’s Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) solutions can help companies implement comprehensive asset management and service driven by a closed-loop digital thread. Introduction The lack of accurate data availability across business domains continues to be one of the major challenges facing companies today. It hampers the ability to make informed decisions, collaborate effectively, and results in a broad range of inefficiencies. This

 PDF Key Takeaways Presentations on the digital thread by customers and partners highlighted the strength of Aras Innovator’s architecture and applications, which have been enabling digital thread creation for over 20 years. Additionally, updates from past ACE presenters revealed the growth of Aras Innovator’s digital thread deployments and the additional value they provide. SAIC, a platinum Aras partner, presented their ReadyOne SaaS platform that uses Aras Innovator as its backbone. ReadyOne enables rapid deployment and one-stop shopping for complete end-to-end top-to-bottom PLM environments that adhere to the DoD’s strategic Digital Engineering initiative. For many, migrating on-premises solutions to SaaS requires de-customization. Aras customers, however, can lift and shift their implementations to SaaS without rework and are able to continue to deploy highly configured and upgradeable solutions while taking advantage of cloud capabilities, including DevOps and telemetry. Supplier management is a critical process in most companies, and Aras has released several new supplier solutions to allow

 PDF Autodesk expands on 2023 study, going longitudinal Key Takeaways Autodesk launched their 2024 State of Design & Make global research study in New York City on 10 April 2024. Nearly 5,400 industrial practitioners from around the world responded to the 2024 version, of what will now be an annual research effort. The formal program featured a lengthy one-on-one between Mr. Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk President & CEO and Mr. James Cameron, a major filmmaker and long-time Autodesk partner. Prior to the formal event, Autodesk senior executives provided a detailed update on their strategy, licensing evolution, customer success, and other company initiatives to the analysts attending. CIMdata had the pleasure of attending the launch event for Autodesk’s latest global Design & Make research in New York City on 10 April 2024.[1] The one-day event had two sessions. The main event was a formal launch on the Observation Deck of the Freedom Tower. Just before that session, the analysts

 PDF Key Takeaways Speed of innovation for manufacturers in regulated product industries like automotive, aerospace, and medical devices is quickly becoming a key value driver. Competitive innovation means accelerating all aspects of the business: agile processes, digital solutions, and creating an ecosystem of partners that can match a manufacturer’s speed. One example of a major lever of acceleration is the “Software Defined Vehicle” in automotive, where cars now contain millions of lines of code, and features and functions are often provided through only software. This requires a major rethinking of how a traditionally hardware focused company operates. Accenture and PTC are reimaging their partnership to move at this faster pace of innovation. Manufacturer Challenges In the fast-paced world of market success, innovation is key. The growing complexity of cyber-physical products demands a fresh approach, requiring a holistic strategy from initial requirements definition through to service delivery. To maintain competitiveness, companies are integrating application lifecycle management (ALM), product

 PDF Key Takeaways As product complexity increases, organizations need quality and compliance management techniques applied across the complete lifecycle–this requires organizations to refine roles and governance within PLM in the context of product lifecycle quality. Quality Management Systems (QMS) must expand beyond a narrow focus of managing manufacturing repeatability and customer usage complaints. Exploring quality from the very start of a new idea, in the context of a trusted digital twin while comprehending sustainability requirements, changing consumer usage patterns, and evolving manufacturing practices, will be the hallmark of leading products companies. Siemens Xcelerator enables the digital thread and management of product data flowing across the complete lifecycle supporting closed-loop quality and comprehensive digital twins both on premises and on the cloud. Siemens continues to enhance their QMS solutions, such as Teamcenter Quality, with capabilities for lifecycle collaboration defining and managing a Bill of Quality. Introduction CIMdata’s definition of PLM emphasizes the complete lifecycle of a product and all
