Empower Engineering Change - New Proficiency for Interdisciplinary Change Management\

Tuesday, November 8, 2022 at 4:00 P.M. CET

We are undergoing a transformation from a focus on products to increasingly interdisciplinary and networked systems. These systems are built using a combination of mechanical design, E/E development and software engineering. The increasing level of interdependencies between engineering artifacts require new methods to manage engineering change. Against this background, the potential of integrating Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Product Lifecycle Management will be highlighted in this webinar.
 
The amount of heterogeneous data from various development tools requires new approaches to engineering change management. With the help of MBSE models, the impact of a change can be analyzed across development disciplines. At the same time, a PLM backbone can manage formal changes via workflows that cross IT system boundaries. The interaction of the systems and a connection via EAN-CAD/Software-Integrated Development Environment (SW-IDE) will be highlighted in the webinar.
 
In this webinar, Aras Product Manager Leigh Young will be joined by Rik Rasor of Fraunhofer Institute for Mechatronic Systems Design (IEM) and Robert Huxel, Director Business Development & Marketing, XPLM to show the benefits of interdisciplinary change management. They share best practices based on Fraunhofer IEM’s 10 years of experience.

This will be an English-speaking webinar.

Join our exclusive webinar with Engineering.com on October 25th at 2PM ET.

Organizations that turn the digital thread from an idea into reality will unlock widespread opportunities to improve performance at every stage of the product lifecycle, from design to end-of-life management. Indeed, the digital thread empowers each function it touches to increase efficiency, reduce redundancy, improve collaboration, and accelerate innovation. Businesses that seize these opportunities can greatly benefit their customers, business partners and shareholders.

But like its real-world namesake the digital thread can be cut short all too easily, causing the flow of product data to be broken across people, tools, and systems.

Is PLM only for engineering and industrial enterprises? Does it necessarily have to be a physically tangible product to manage its lifecycle?

Even the abstract products like Financial Offerings or non-CAD products like Food and Pharma products follow a similar lifecycle. The financial institutions or manufacturers need to eventually execute a market research and gather requirements, think about product design to outsmart the competition, launch the product, take care of issues reported from market and eventually think about EoL. Compliance and strict regulations compel to document everything meticulously.

Achieving all this, without losing the efficiency across the enterprise, is a huge challenge. Moreover, the market dynamics make it necessary that the platform being used is flexible enough to stay updated for future scenarios - which aren't even thinkable yet.

What is The Connection Between Accelerating Product Complexities, Systems Thinking, and PLM Platforms?

Thursday, August 26th, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. ET

Digital Transformation and Digitalization of Engineering are two key initiatives that providers of next generation products depend on to control accelerating product complexities. The goal is always the same: faster time to market, better quality, and reduced costs. But since these efforts are no longer specific to a particular discipline (ex: mechanically driven companies increasingly becoming software driven) they can no longer rely strictly on BOM-centric thinking and must embrace system-centric thinking. System-centric approach allows to see how sub-systems interact on a functional level which results in faster and less risky insertion of emerging technologies and the latest best-in-class tools. It is also pivotal to an effective and timely system-level integration with sub-systems provided by supply chain that accelerates validation and verification of the product.

Join Chad Jackson, Chief Analyst and CEO, Lifecycle Insights, and Paweł Chądzyński, Senior Director Product Marketing at Aras, in their live discussion of the role of Systems Thinking and PLM platform have in effectively managing accelerating product complexities.

The ever-expanding complexities of systems being designed, digital transformation initiatives, and innovations in manufacturing increase the demand for robust and intelligent simulation that is automated, consistent, repeatable, and traceable. The latest simulation use cases include MBSE (Model-based Systems Engineering), generative designs, digital thread, additive manufacturing, digital twins, and cross-domain behaviors of system-of-systems (e.g.: autonomous vehicles).

Efficient management of simulation data, processes, and results at every stage of product development lifecycle is vital to managing the ever-increasing systems complexities. While current simulation algorithms are growing ever more powerful there is a need to make them ever more pervasive across more teams in cross-disciplinary ways. The goal is to enable more simulation, reduce simulation bottle necks, enable digital verification, and react quicker to changes in product definitions.

Join Matteo Nicolich, Product Manager at Aras, for a 30-minute demonstration to learn more about simulation management and automation in Aras Innovator, including how to:

• Reduce design time by capturing your simulation best practices in an executable form

• Enforce simulation best practices across the global enterprise

• Achieve consistency and accuracy in simulations results

• Increase accessibility to and traceability of simulation results

[BREAKOUT SESSION] How to make knowledge accessible to your newly distributed workforce

A key to successful knowledge management is ensuring information is easily accessible. But when it’s stored across different repositories, in all different formats, it has a ripple effect across the organization. Projects are delayed, issues take longer to solve, tasks are duplicated, people get frustrated, and expensive errors are made.

For organizations to truly become knowledge-centric, they need a complete enterprise search solution. One that gives employees a single, personalized place to access all relevant information and insights, wherever they live. Not only does it save employees’ time, but it impacts strategic priorities, including cost savings, revenue increases, and risk mitigation. Sinequa’s Alana Cento will show you how to build a case for a powerful and complete enterprise search technology for your organization.

In this webinar, you will learn why those who are leading product efforts will be on the front lines in the transition to digital.  We’ll delve into why innovation cannot fall to individuals but instead requires participation from throughout the enterprise ecosystem. To be successful this collaboration will need to be efficient— and tap a discrete manufacturer’s often-overlooked precious resource—product information—whether in siloed systems internally, or not yet connected from a customer.

The discussion will include an understanding of Product Lifecycle Management’s (PLM) role in Digital Transformation, how it fits in the overall lifecycle and why PLM will be the steward of the Digital Thread, to create the ability to openly collaborate, innovate, and lead your organization to higher revenues and profits.
