Engineering and Operations Software-as-a-Service provides smaller manufacturers opportunities to compete more effectively in their markets

Key takeaways:

• SMBs face the same IT and innovation challenges as larger enterprises, but often don’t have the resources available to address them.
• SMBs must be ultra-responsive to the dynamics of their position in the value chain—whether they are an OEM or a lower-level supplier.
• Startups and SMBs trying to
disrupt a market need to leverage the latest cloud architectures and functional capabilities available to gain an advantage over incumbents still utilizing legacy solutions.
• SaaS-delivered PLM solutions can enable SMBs to compete more effectively...

Key takeaways:

• Digital transformation is a significant trend within manufacturing companies and requires new more automated ways of working that leverage digitalized information.
• While technology is available to transform to a model-based enterprise (MBE) strategy by leveraging implicit and explicit knowledge stored in 3D CAD models, most companies still use drawings and a variety of siloed repositories as their sources of truth thus breaking the digital thread.
• By employing a Design for X (DFx) strategy within a MBE, companies can evaluate, verify, and validate designs by leveraging the knowledge embedded in 3D CAD models. This not...

Key takeaways:

• The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) reduces the effort needed in assigning part classifications to product models.
• Teamcenter supports the fundamental ISO/IEC standards which in turn provide support for the advanced ECLASS master data standard for part classification.
• Systemic robustness ensures Teamcenter can support other standards like IEC, UNSPSC, etc., in the future.
• Newer advanced classification methods can coexist with traditional basic classification procedures in the same Teamcenter instance so users can adopt Advanced Classification at their own pace.

Classification is, by definition, a systematic arrangement of part models in groups or categories according to established...

Key takeaways:

• The effective application of physics-based modeling and simulation is seen as a critical core functionality in the product development decision-making process.
• The need for innovative model-based design and analysis technologies that can connect performance analysis data, processes, and knowledge across functional domains is critical as product complexity continues to grow even as product development cycles continue to be shortened by competitive pressures.
• Rapidly generating CAE analysis results and sharing a compressed 3D file representation in a web-based, interactive, and visual environment is an industry best practice today.
• Unfortunately, the vast majority of engineering organizations still...

Helps achieve sustainable practices right and meet “Mission Zero” goals

Key takeaways:

• Automotive market demands have shifted and are focused on being more sustainable or “green,” while the classic competitive pressures of cost, time to market, and quality continue to increase.
• Electronic and software content continues to grow within automotive products as a cost-effective way to address market demands, but they add significant complexity to product development and production processes.
• Battery- and fuel cell-based propulsion systems required to meet zero emission goals require many new technologies to be leveraged and produced at scale.
• ESI’s virtual car prototypes help...
