I’ve been catching up on some reading during the weekend. The following article by Tech-Clarify caught my attention – Siemens Digital Twin strategy. Jim Brown from Tech-Clarify is sharing his inside on Siemens PLM strategy. I found it interesting because it touches two modern trends (or buzzwords) you can hear…
I thought it was only confused by Model-Based approach and terminology. I published Model-based confusion in 3D CAD and PLM article earlier this year and I’ve got some kind of mixed feedback. Model is a very powerful word. But it got overused and confused people looking for technology to help in everyday…
It is time to rethink the way we work. How many times you’ve heard about it during last few years. People and companies are looking for new ways to stay connected. And Real-time communication market is one of the greatest reflections about what is going on. Companies are realizing today…
Model-based is a topic in the air of many discussions about future digital transformation in engineering and manufacturing. I honestly admitted my confusion about “model-based” in my article earlier this year – Model-based confusion in 3D CAD and PLM. Jos Voskuil – one of the best advocates of systematic model-based…
A specter is haunting PLM community – the specter of blockchain. As every new trend, it can have a potential to change business as usual and impact existing products and markets. While PLM market is fighting status quo and legacy platforms, every since new thing that can change the status quo…
Last year I shared my thoughts about how to replace legacy PLM and move forward. The idea is pretty simple – build a new PLM, make it co-exist with the one you have and when you’re ready, pull the switch off. It sounds very obvious. What can hold us back?…
Modern manufacturing world is all about communication and networking. Companies are hiring engineers all over the world. Contractors and suppliers are global. Assembly shops are often located close to the distribution and customers. To design and manufacturing efficiently, manufacturing companies need to learn to communicate. And it means tools. What…
PLM is usually a journey of an organization transforming itself from one business model into another. While the process can be different, it usually introduces many challenges organization can face alongside the route. Traditional approach is not providing much shortcuts. There is no fast line approach to make PLM happen…
One of my most favorite chapters in technology for the last decade is related to graph data models. As I’ve been working on multiple applications of product lifecycle for the last decade, the importance of graphs, knowledge and information connection was growing. Back in 2009, I’ve been digging into semantic…
