Digital Engineering

In a highly competitive global marketplace, manufacturers need to be continuously innovating the way they manage the staggering complexities of product and process development. The product lifecycle starts with a product's original conception, then on to product design and engineering, next to manufacturing, and finally to the utilization and ongoing support of the product. This management of the entire lifespan of a product and its data within a single digital environment is becoming a critical aspect for manufacturing organizations striving to reap the value of Industry 4.0. New business benefits and optimization opportunities open by simply linking design engineers, manufacturing engineers and production floor operators in the management of product and process development. Product Design Automation enables product innovation and intelligent design generation at speeds never before seen in industry. Integrate that with a holistic approach to product data management with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), and you have created a single source of truth across your enterprise, one designed to support change and drive continuous improvements in an efficient and collaborative way.

What is Product Design Automation?

Every product must be designed before it can be manufactured, but the way in which this process is managed and executed can have a huge impact on a manufacturer’s speed-to-market and product innovation capabilities, particularly when it comes to highly complex or customizable products. For that reason, software tools for Design Automation are become increasingly utilized in design and engineering departments across manufacturing industries. Design Automation solutions enable you to capture and reuse engineering knowledge and intent in order to design more efficiently. Digitalizing this process helps reduce errors and time spent on tedious, repetitive modeling tasks. Design automation capabilities can also be leveraged downstream to facilitate process development and manufacturing processes.

What is Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)?

Organizing and managing large amounts of data is a huge task in the manufacturing industry. Keeping this information updated as well as making sure that data is controlled and accessible between different departments across an organization is an even bigger challenge. Product Lifecycle Management, or PLM, is the process of managing the complete lifecycle of a product from ideation, through engineering design and manufacturing, to service and disposal. By leveraging a digital solution for PLM, teams and individuals can create, organize, manage and consolidate information effectively across the enterprise. Companies can leverage PLM systems to collaborate instantly throughout the product design, manufacturing planning and assembly planning process.
