After 120 years since Henry Ford built his first experimental car in a workshop behind his home in Detroit, we have reached a very interesting point in this new hardware revolution. The manufacturing eco-system enables a completely new wave of hardware companies and new product manufacturing by distributed teams. HAX…
There are different levels of PLM implementation complexity – long planning, budget overrun, customization delays. Tons of articles are written about how implement PLM and why a specific PLM platform can be better then others. Today I want to bring 5 factors that can help you to implement any PLM…
Software is eating the world. And products that we know in the past as purely mechanical, today have strong dependencies on software embedded or used with these products.

by kosmolaut For many years, midsize manufacturing companies were underserved by PDM and PLM vendors. First it was about CAD file management. PDM was complex, clunky and expensive. It was an overhead that engineers were not able to tolerate. Later, it came to PLM segment. PLM demonstrated its value for…
Big news for everyone interested in CAD and cloud. You can try a browser version of Autodesk Fusion360 now. Bryce Heventhal blog Fusion 360 in a Browser (Preview) – DESIGN DIFFERENTLY – Autodesk. Read the blog and try Autodesk Fusion 360 in a browser. I did… It made me think…
It is not a big secret that PLM vendors are stuck to provide a good solution for mid-size manufacturing companies. The list of failures is too long and I will not mention it in this blog post. It includes attempts to scale down high-end products, build solution atop of office…
For very long time, security was one of the top concerns stopping enterprises and manufacturing companies from adopting cloud technologies. While it is still true, the future barriers to cloud technologies and cloud PLM can be different. The latest Internet Trends report from Mary Meeker contains a section devoted to the…
My favorite article during this weekend was – My Father-In-Law Won’t Become a Coder, No Matter What Economists Say. Read the article and draw your opinion. The transformation is happening outside and human jobs are replaced with screens and computers. Marketing and sales is a good example, but the change…
