User experience, selling experience, learning experience, total experience, etc. You can continue the list… I want to talk about “product experience” today. This is obvious and new at the same time. Manufacturers are interested to know more…
Design and engineering world are changing fast these days. 20 years ago, the objective of CAD and other engineering software vendors was to replace “drafting board”. Then analysis, simulations and digital mockup came to place. It allowed to model and optimize some of the product development and manufacturing stages such…
Originally, Think Tank is an idea generator. I’m posting my daily thoughts about different aspects of Product Lifecycle Management – technological, organizational, business here. Follow PLM Think Tank category in my blog. Below you can see the archive of all my “think tank” posts starting from 2008. PLM Perfect Storm…
In my view, the power of the internet is going much beyond current horizons. Back in 2009 I published my first post – PLM and Internet of things. The idea I discussed, in a nutshell, was about how product lifecycle management can cross the borders between physical and virtual objects….
