In today’s rapidly evolving landscape of data management and artificial intelligence (AI), the relationship between the two is becoming increasingly apparent. It is hard to view both domains AI and data management as separate entities. If I want to think about complex data management problems, it would be a mistake…
Back many years ago I had a customer who challenged me to develop a “single button” application. It was long time ago when I developed AutoLISP applications for AutoCAD. At the beginning, I thought is is a joke. A few hours later in the conversation, I appreciate the importance of…
The complexity of products has grown enormously for the last decade. The growing number of manufacturing companies are moving their business models from selling product to selling services (and renting the equipment), modern products are blend of mechanical, electronic, and software components, many products are require maintenance, also products can…
I’m continue to digest what I learned at CIMdata Industry Forum 2024 last week. The main theme of the forum was Digital Twin and its applications for Lifecycle Performance. CIMdata analysis took the Digital Twin topic much far that you can think about. While a typical association of Digital Twin…
Earlier this week, I published the article Beyond Adoption: Rewiring Organizations to Dominate in the Digital Age speaking about how embracing digital technologies and mindset can change the way engineering and manufacturing companies can outcompete organizations that are stuck in the old way of doing business. The article sparked an…
Last week, I had the opportunity of attending the CIMdata Industry and Market Forum in Ann Arbor, MI. This annual gathering, organized by CIMdata, brings together leading PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) vendors to discuss the state of the industry, the economy, and major threads shaping the future. This year’s theme…

CIMdata usually gathers PLM software and service vendors for this annual event to share information about industry performance and discuss…
Combining multiple systems in manufacturing sector to work together is always a complex thing to do. In the engineering and manufacturing world, PLM and ERP software integrations is a greatest example of complexity. Combining complex business processes and engineering disciplines including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic design, software and applying…
For the last 10-15 years, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) has emerged as a critical component for organizations to control product development process, support people communication and manage engineering and product data. The vision of PLM to connect people from ideation to end-of-life, PLM strategies streamline multiple organizational processes such as…
The discussion about engineers preferring to use spreadsheets, while PLM function is always introducing some sort of governance and business processes that conflicts with engineering freedom and ease of use made me think about how balance individual and organizational value in PLM development. While no one will argue that companies…
